What do small-scale farms, pesticides, pesticide drift and cancer have in common? In this case, they are all things our Communications Manager and Iowa farmer, Rob Faux, has had some experience with during his lifetime.

Rob was recently asked by Michael Admire, host of the podcast Good & Game, to discuss these topics and ways we can advocate to change things for the better. You can watch the entire podcast here.

Michael’s introduction to this episode is below:

We’ve reached the penultimate conversation in our second collection of conversations. Rob Faux moved to northeast Iowa with plans to be a professor, but those plans were diverted.

Faux started a small-scaled, diversified farm in 2004. Growing food for his family and his neighbors. In the summer of 2012, just as Faux was starting to bear the fruit from years of work and the traditional challenges that come with starting a farm, a plane spraying chemicals and pesticide kept the nozzle open as it soared over his crops, his animals and himself. This moment changed everything. Good&Game Conversation 2.6 Faux shares his story which includes a battle with cancer and move into action.This is one of my favorite conversations to date. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s personal. It’s informative. Be good. Be game.
