As summer’s heat turns up, any drive across the Midwest will feature corn outside the window. Why do farmers grow corn? Justin and Jennifer Dammann sat down at their kitchen table with me to talk about how they make choices in growing corn, soybeans, and beef as family farmers.

The Dammanns choose to grow both GMO and non-GMO corn in fields side-by-side because it is best for their family. They talk about how they make choices and WHY they farm the way they do.

Justin and Jennifer talked their corn contract, practices, and choices in Food Truths from Farm to Table: 25 Ways to Shop & Eat Without Guilt (just named a #1 Amazon best-seller). They shares more about farming on with regular tours to their farm and on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/DammannFarms/.
