The roughly 5.7 million acres that make up the Kenai Peninsula get used for a lot of different activities including, increasingly, agriculture. The Kenai Peninsula Borough is rolling out an initiative this spring in an effort to get a few more of those acres dedicated to a sustainable ag system that will, among other things, help further diversify the local economy. This week, we're speaking with Marcus Mueller, KPB Land Manager and Heidi Chay, District Manager for the Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District, about the ag initiative and broader policy goals and considerations that go with it.
