Farmers keep us fed and our economies stable, but in the US they're retiring faster than they're being replaced. Take a crash course in agricultural policy with Eric Sannerud to see why this problem can't be solved by simply buying from your local farmer's market -- and learn how you can use your vote to create a better future for farmers.

Eric R. Sannerud is a farmer, thinker, and entrepreneur. He is farmer-CEO of Mighty Axe Hops, Minnesota's largest hops farm. He is a TEDx speaker, Fellow of the Future, and advocate for the next generation of farmers.
