About the MID Victory Garden
In recent years Americans realized a war is on against a new enemy. It’s called global warming. A scientific breakthrough could quickly end this climate threat. Or the world may be entangled in decades of struggle and sacrifice.
No one can predict the outcome. But after 112 years of resource stewardship and service to agriculture, MID understands a few things: That lasting change comes about one person, one plot of ground, one pace forward at a time. That seeds of change planted today yield a harvest of victory one day in the future.
Each month MID writes about one of the seeds we’ve planted in our Victory Garden. You can read about them in the MID Update (PDF), the monthly newsletter with our electric bill, or on this web page.
