Land Talk: Subsistence to Solar

Under the auspices of the Experimental Geography Studio, Nicholas Bauch interviews Fred Rengstorf about his family farm in Courtland, Minnesota. The interview took place on August 13, 2018, and the audio-video was compiled on July 10, 2019. The interview is about the various ecological transitions the land has undergone since the 1950s until its current state today as a solar farm. The project was done as part of Stanford University’s Land Talk program.
