In this episode of the AgCulture Podcast, I share stories and takeaways from a recent trip through the Pacific Northwest and beyond, visiting some of the country’s most distinctive farming regions. From the rolling wheat fields of Washington’s Palouse to Idaho’s onion valleys and the vast apple orchards of Washington, I look at the history, infrastructure, and water systems that helped these industries grow. Tune in for the connections between crops, culture, and innovation that continue to shape U.S. agriculture. Available now on all major platforms!
