LORI RICE
Pie Time!

I enjoy exploring the large variety of sweet potatoes in California, and I like to incorporate more than one in my recipes, as with this pie. For the puree, I use a mix of standard Beauregard sweet potatoes, the dark orange Red Garnet, and a Jersey white sweet potato. Each offers a different texture and sweetness for the pie. That being said, I don’t consider the variety absolutely necessary. This recipe will be a winner even only the common orange Beauregard. YIELD: Serves 8

INGREDIENTS
crust
• 1¼ cups all- purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
• 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Soil Conservation

Often, outside of having a specific problem that needs to be addressed, soil conservation isn't something every farmer readily thinks about. Yet conserving the soil should be at or near the top of every farmer owner or manager's list of concerns because absent the prevention of soil erosion, we have the opportunity for another dust bowl.
