What would you do if your family farm had to shut down? In this episode, we talk with Jason, a Michigan farmer. His family had been farming for over 100 years. But everything changed when they learned the soil was full of PFAS—harmful chemicals from using treated human waste as fertilizer. Jason shares how this happened, how it’s affected his family, and what he’s doing to keep going.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The hidden risks of using human waste as fertilizer;
  • What farmers need to consider before applying; and
  • How hemp and biochar could help clean up PFAS

This is a tough story, but one every farmer should hear. Please share this episode with someone in Ag. The more we know, the better we can protect our farms, our food, and our future. Thanks for listening and helping us spread the word.
