Indiana farmer discusses importance of sustainability on Earth Day

Everyday is Earth Day to the farmers feeding the world while also protecting land and water.

Aaron Chalfant raises corn, soybeans, and hogs with his dad and two brothers in east central Indiana.

“We have a 50/50 corn and soybean rotation, and we raise hogs on contract. We have about 28,000 head on site that produce about 7 million gallons of manure annually, so we use that to reduce the input cost on raising corn and soybeans,” he says.
