Amazing Arizonans: Sine Kerr shares her vast experience in farming, ranching

Two of Arizona’s five C’s are cattle and cotton. Farmers and ranchers are a huge part of our history. They are also a big part of our current economy.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sine Kerr. The former state lawmaker is the state director for the USDA Farm Services Bureau.

Kerr and her husband have been farmers and ranchers since 1980. Our conversation was about how the industry has changed over the decades.

Her insight into water issues is compelling. We talked about the environment and food security. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
