Young Iowa farmers push ahead amid access barriers
Alyssa Dunn of Crow's Creek Farm near Anamosa leads Eastern Iowa Young Farmers Coalition as two thirds of U S farmland is over 55. Over five years about 100 million acres will change hands, fueling a rise in under 35 farmers, many women, using sustainable methods. Filmmaker Graham Meriwether highlights the movement, noting land access and equipment costs as core hurdles for new farmers.
