Description

Lightly on the Ground Radio Host Sunny Gardener sat for over an hour with Matthew J. Lohr, who wears many hats. He bought his grandparents’ 250 acre farm in the Valley’ a diverse operation ranging from pumpkins and to 6000,000 broiler chickens. His off-farm job is Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, helmsman for VA’s largest industry, contributing $55 billion per year to the economy.
His vision is clear and consistent: farms of all sizes and varieties are essential to the feeding the populace.
