Note: Daily Yonder correspondent Claire Carlson is taking the reins of our Keep It Rural newsletter while Bryce Oates, its former author, focuses on projects of his own. Of course, Bryce wouldn’t pick just anyone to succeed him.
Bryce says that Claire is “one of the best talents and most rural-focused writers I know these days.” We hope you’ll enjoy her fresh perspective on policy, environment, conservation, and all things rural.

Thoughts on the news of the week from a rural-focused writer with a deep concern for shrinking lakes and aspirations of tending a thriving vegetable garden.
