Show notes
Ep 274 | 1,000 years. That's how long it takes to build just one inch of Class One topsoil. Once it's gone, there's no getting it back.
This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down Cal Poly's divisive proposal to develop its own farmland, why people are questioning who really grows the food at their farmers market, and how a sweet corn reel could have you reconsidering the standards we put on farmers.
Plus, Brantley Gilbert's Dirty Money doc has them wondering: what happens if farmers go on strike — or the next generation can't afford to farm?
