YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe talk a lot in NC about how budget cuts hit our schools, including nurses and bus drivers. But they’re also harming our ability to fight forest fires. We need to raise the pay for our forest firefighters and make sure they have the equipment they need to do their jobs safely and well.

ABOUT SARAH TABER
Dr. Sarah Taber’s roots in agriculture run deep. Born to a military family with roots in Harlan County, Kentucky, she helped operate her family’s small holdings and took field, garment shop, and factory jobs to pay for school. At a young age, Sarah learned that romanticizing farms doesn’t put food on the table. Agriculture has to be a viable livelihood or it’s just not worth doing.
Alongside her work with family farms, Sarah helped launch a series of vegetable greenhouses and indoor farms that are now worth over $4 billion. This experience taught her how to bring new people and perspectives into agriculture. Failure is common in the highly competitive greenhouse sector—but all of Sarah's clients are still in operation, including those who began with little or no experience in agriculture.
All too often, our leaders treat the loss of farms and farmers as inevitable. But it’s not! Sarah has made a career of bringing new people into agriculture and helping farm businesses grow. Now, she's on a mission to help North Carolina put our countryside to work and grow our economy as our next Commissioner of Agriculture.
