0:00.0 | Hey, pioneers, welcome to episode number 472, immunity for polluters and how new laws are threatening your soil and food supply. |
0:15.7 | This is a special podcast episode that I am having this conversation with both Will Harris and Taylor Henry. |
0:24.6 | So fertilizer companies, could they really be above the law? |
0:30.6 | We are talking about a disturbing wave of legislation that is granting legal immunity to companies responsible for spreading |
0:39.9 | toxic byproducts on American farmland. In fact, these bills, one has just been approved, sadly |
0:48.1 | giving immunity in the state of Georgia. These are being presented at the state level. |
0:54.5 | We're just starting to see it. |

1:51.3 | Taylor Henry is the CEO and owner of Acres USA, which there's the Acres USA podcast that dives into the world of production scale organic and |
2:03.0 | regenerative farming for over 50 years Acres USA has been the go-to resource for farmers, |
2:09.0 | ranchers, and market gardeners showing them how to grow food profitably and sustainably while |
2:15.6 | honoring the rhythms of nature. Taylor also has a 200-acre regenerative farm, |
2:22.3 | and so we really wanted to get this out to as many people as possible. Of course, I am advocate for homesteading and small farm, but no matter what scale we're looking to raise food at, |
