Why have you chosen to serve on the CURE Board?
CURE has been a strong advocate supporting common sense approaches to helping our environment. Sustainability is all tied together in our local ecosystem, with the need for clean water, clean air, and a vibrant community social structure. I believe CURE has the right perspective to make a positive change in our community through action and education.
I served on the CURE board several years ago and I feel that I can again be an asset to board with my experience in the ag sector and also as a renewable energy producer-consumer.

Fun Fact(s)
I love to hunt and fish, and a walk in my private wildlife sanctuary, right behind my business at the farm, is a real joy and a personal escape to for me to appreciate how much I love living with nature on my farm.
I played guitar in several local bands, with a focus on old-time and modern country-western music, along with a repertoire of classic 50/60 rock & roll favorites.
Jim Falk was elected to the CURE Board of Directors in 2017.
