I'm Doug Crabtree. My wife Anna and I own and operate a certified organic dryland crop farm just south of the Canadian border in Hill County, Montana. We first worked with the Center back in the 90’s when trying to make a connection to start farming through the Land Link program.

A few weeks back, I found myself in a farmhouse kitchen outside of Milford, Nebraska. Dave Welsch was serving me a heaping helping of roast beef and potatoes. I drove down to talk to Dave and his wife Deb about the transition of their farm to a new generation. Unfortunately, Deb, the cook, was sick in bed with the flu.
