While these global discussions unfold, farmers like Hoerbert continue their work quietly and consistently. When he sells his local crops, they might end up as animal feed in the Midwest, biofuel in California, or tofu in another country. At the end of his interview, Hoerbert again shared how farming is a family business. “We’re just individuals,” he said. “There’s farms that a lot of us keep in the family, and we work together, but we’re all basically individuals.” That sense of steadiness may be what keeps American agriculture grounded as it continues to evolve.
