Then Jerry Hatfield, Laboratory Director of the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment, explored the effects of CO2 on the nutrition of Iowa crops. That led to a discussion of Agroforestry with Luke Gran of Prudenterra, a comany that works with landowners to restore prairies, pastures, and woodlands.

And finally we heard from Tim Ryan, recent presidential candidate, talking about regenerative agriculture, workers' issues, and children's questions.
