One of the largest Cyclospora outbreaks in U.S. history has placed fresh produce safety under the national spotlight. In this episode of Inside Food Safety, presented by Testo North America, Carl Fiadini and co-host Eric Moore are joined by nationally recognized produce safety expert Kiley Harper-Larsen, M.S., Owner of The Ag Safety Lady and a food safety executive with more than two decades of experience spanning farms, processing facilities, audits, crisis management and regulatory compliance.  She has spent her career working everywhere from farms and packing houses to boardrooms, recalls and FDA inspections. Together, they examine the ongoing Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms and discuss what is currently known, what remains unknown, and why outbreaks like this are among the most difficult events for the produce industry to investigate. Topics include: • What Cyclospora is and how it spreads • Why produce outbreaks are uniquely challenging to trace • Farm-to-table food safety systems • Supply chain accountability • Worker hygiene and agricultural water • Consumer risk and practical guidance • The role of technology and testing • What the industry must do to prevent future outbreaks Rather than assigning blame, this conversation explores the science, the systems and the lessons that can help strengthen food safety across the entire supply chain. Guest: Kiley Harper-Larsen, M.S. Owner & Lead Consultant, The Ag Safety Lady Former Corporate Safety Director, A. Duda & Sons Former Vice President of Product & Personnel Safety, J&J Family of Farms Presented by Testo North America

America can't be resilient if it can't feed itself — and Patrick Montgomery believes we've handed far too much control of our food supply to everyone but American farmers.In this episode of The Resilient Show, Chad sits down with the former Army Ranger and KC Cattle Company founder for a blunt conversation about the disappearing American farm, foreign influence over our meat industry, and why food supply needs to be treated as national security.Key Topics:- Why American farms are disappearing- China's influence over the U.S. pork industry- Brazil's growing control over American beef- Why America has fewer cattle despite a much larger population- The aging American farmer and the missing next generation- What COVID exposed about our fragile food supply- Why food supply is national securityAmericans have gotten used to food always being there. Patrick's warning is simple: if we lose the ability to feed our own people and military, everything else becomes secondary.——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter:⁠ ⁠https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok:⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:Smith & Wesson: ⁠⁠https://www.smith-wesson.com⁠⁠Vortex Optics: ⁠https://vortexoptics.com⁠Gatorz Eyewear: ⁠⁠https://www.gatorz.com⁠⁠Allied Wealth: ⁠https://alliedwealth.com⁠BioPro+: ⁠⁠https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30⁠⁠BioXCellerator: ⁠https://www.bioxcellerator.com⁠Core Medical: https://coremedicalgrp.com/chadpodcastcmg------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with ⁠Mighty Oaks Foundation⁠.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports 15 elephants in Kenya have died of cyanide poisoning after eating tomatoes from nearby farms.

A new farming practice should earn a producer's confidence before it is trusted with an entire field. Oklahoma State University Extension specialists Brian Arnall, Ph.D., and Josh Lofton, Ph.D., explain how small-plot research becomes practical agronomic guidance for Oklahoma producers. They discuss replication, field variability, statistical confidence, and the steps researchers take before recommending changes involving nitrogen, plant population, varieties, or other crop-management decisions. They also explain why on-farm cooperators and producer-run trials are critical for testing whether research results hold up under commercial conditions. Key takeaways: Small plots help researchers isolate treatment effects by reducing differences in soil, rainfall, pests and field management. A large field demonstration may look convincing, but without replication it can be difficult to separate a treatment response from normal field variability. Results should usually be repeated across multiple years, locations, soil types and weather conditions before becoming a broad recommendation. Researchers may require greater confidence when a recommendation would significantly change established practices or put a producer's return on investment at risk. Producers can manage adoption risk by testing a new practice on a few strips or limited acres before applying it across the operation. Detailed Timestamped Rundown: 00:00–02:13 — Episode introduction and research question Dave Deken introduces the discussion of “big science on small acres” and previews how small-plot trials become real-world recommendations. Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton are introduced along with their OSU Extension roles.02:16–05:09 — Why researchers use small plots Arnall explains that an entire trial may fit within roughly a quarter acre. The smaller area allows researchers to keep treatments on similar soil and under comparable rainfall, pest pressure and environmental conditions. Small plots also make it possible to test many treatments with several replications.05:09–08:19 — Matching plot size to field variability Lofton explains that researchers must decide whether to minimize variability with smaller plots or include more variability within longer plots. Forage research may require longer plots, while detailed plant-physiology questions may be studied in one-foot-by-one-foot microplots.08:21–10:14 — Demonstrations versus replicated science Large demonstrations can show whether a practice appears workable across several acres, but they may not provide strong scientific evidence without replication. Researchers are cautious about using a producer's land for an idea that may reduce yield or profitability.10:14–13:26 — Testing across years and environments A practice that works repeatedly near Stillwater may respond differently in western Oklahoma's sandy soils or the wetter, heavier soils of northeastern Oklahoma. Researchers distinguish between an observation, a tentative practice to try and a formal recommendation.13:26–16:19 — Blocking, variety trials and experimental tradeoffs Lofton describes how treatments are grouped into blocks so each treatment experiences a comparable environment. Trials containing too many varieties can stretch across changing soils and conditions, so researchers may divide varieties into separate maturity groups.16:19–19:15 — Statistical error and recommendation risk The group discusses the possibility of concluding that a treatment works when it does not, or concluding that it does not work when it actually does. Arnall emphasizes the risk of recommending a product or practice that fails to produce a dependable return.19:15–22:10 — Why confidence standards can change Lofton and Arnall discuss the difference between 90% and 95% confidence. The appropriate threshold depends on the research question, the quality of the field conditions and the consequences of being wrong. Major changes to accepted practices demand stronger evidence.22:10–24:22 — Evidence behind major management changes The speakers compare agricultural risk with the much higher certainty required in medicine and engineering. Arnall says he had approximately six years of data before becoming highly vocal about delaying some nitrogen applications.24:22–26:54 — Challenging assumptions and explaining mechanisms Researchers do not rely on statistics alone. They ask whether a result makes biological and agronomic sense, discuss it with colleagues and collect additional plant or soil measurements to explain why it occurred.26:54–29:44 — Scientific disagreement strengthens recommendations Arnall and Lofton explain that members of the research team frequently disagree about mechanisms and interpretations. Those arguments continue until the data support a consistent OSU recommendation. Repeating work with different students or projects can provide additional confirmation.29:46–32:10 — Moving research into producer fields The discussion returns to the progression from controlled plots to practical use. Some practices move into formal demonstrations, while others are tested through a few producer-applied passes or strips. Starting with a limited area gives producers a way to evaluate an unfamiliar practice without risking the whole operation.32:10–34:31 — Why farmer-hosted small plots matter Arnall emphasizes that many small plots are located on commercial farms rather than research stations. These sites provide different soils, management histories and production environments, although the plots can create extra work for the cooperating producer.34:31–35:30 — Helping producers become experimenters Lofton describes producers who begin with one research project and then start conducting their own field demonstrations. County Extension educators can help producers establish useful comparisons and interpret the results.35:30–37:20 — Building a statewide cooperator network Arnall discusses working with different groups of cooperators over time and matching projects with farms that provide the appropriate crop, soil, management system and region. This network improves the relevance of OSU agronomy research.37:20–38:22 — Closing thoughts The episode concludes with appreciation for producer cooperators and an invitation for listeners to visit Red Dirt Agronomy, submit questions and learn more about the research discussed on the program.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey & your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm often asked: “What brought you to Whidbey Island?” It's a standard ice breaker question here. My cheeky response is: A ferry brought me; ferries being a mode of transportation among the Washington islands. Many folks come here, vacation, fall in love, and return to claim their spot. Not me. It wasn't love at first sight. In truth, I washed up on the shores of Whidbey Island. My relationship with this place is more like an arranged marriage than falling-head-over-heels in love. An arranged marriage flips the traditional hook-up, dating, live together, get married sequence. Matchmakers introduce the partners, a wedding occurs, and love and intimacy are expected to develop afterward during marriage. While Hollywood movies often frame relationships around immediate romance, arranged marriages rely on a partnership built on shared foundations where emotional bonds grow over time. It's a pragmatic mindset requiring work and compromise that helps offset early disillusionment when one person's habits rub up against the other's expectations.     Unlike the traditional scenario where attraction might peak during a “honeymoon phase” the gradual growth of friendship, love, and meeting milestones together sets up a long-term companionship supported by those strong ties.   Just like our marriages, traditional or arranged, the place we live shapes our identities, behaviors, and well-being. Places we live—like the tides— direct our attention, movement, social interactions, personal growth and development. The community molds our sense of culture, belonging, what is normal, expected, possible and accepted. In ways large and small place fundamentally influences our daily routines, opportunities, and personality. After almost a decade in this semi-rural place, with all the highs and lows that come with starting anew in unfamiliar surroundings how have I come to love thee, Whidbey? Let me count the ways.   There's the cool Pacific Northwest climate, the landscape of old growth forests, farms and farmer's markets, abundant wildlife (sometimes too abundant in the garden), a slower pace because of narrow, winding 2-lane roads and reduced speed limits, the November to May Rain Festival that turns our attention and activities quietly inward. Ours is a deliberate lifestyle. We don't have malls or the hustle and bustle of city streets, or easy access to stuff one can get over in AmeriKa. Of course, that means we rely on ourselves and each other, especially when the power goes out and the hum of generators fills the night sky. Ours is a deceivingly robust community of varied social fabrics, politics, spirituality, intellects and economics. We support writers, artists, hikers, fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, farmers, poets, seniors, educators, and volunteers. Every meeting and gathering comes with a potluck. Yes, it can take time to find your people in a tight-knit rural place, but it's also a matter of stepping out the door, inviting people to share your front porch, building connections, building trust, learning tolerance for others. By and large people on Whidbey are friendly, welcoming, smart, clever, willing to shed big city ways to make room for patience. Maybe even understanding because we do not see all things the same way.   Ours hosts a plethora of outdoor spaces, free public transport, and the most wonderful library system that is the hub of our social connectedness. Sure the prices are higher than most, we do struggle to make ends meet, healthcare service could be better, and ferry schedule might be sketchy at times; but I knew I belonged when people greeted me by name in the grocery store or ACE Hardware or I was invited to begin teaching story courses for adults. Don't get me wrong. Whidbey Island is not unlike your community. It's not all rainbows and rhubarb pie here. We have our share of folks who behave like dumbshits. But for every person who behaves like a dumbshit there's a dozen who are truly kind and decent. That's the bit to remember because despite the ups and downs a time must come when you agree with yourself to set aside feelings of uncertainty, venture out, expand your horizons, engage with your new found community. As an introvert's introvert the idea of making a coffee date was not in my toolkit; but once I did step out it became easier and I learned that others were just waiting to be invited. This place called Whidbey Island is the place I live; even more important are the people I'm still coming to know who are shaping who I am. “But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all.” *** Question: What is it about the place you live that has charmed and shaped you? *** Weathering ~  by Fleur Adcock "My face catches the wind from the snow line and flushes with a flush that will never wholly settle. Well, that was a metropolitan vanity, wanting to look young forever, to pass. I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty and only pretty enough to be seen with a man who wanted to be seen with a passable woman. But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all. My hair will grow grey in any case, my nails chip and flake, my waist thicken, and the years work all their usual changes. If my face is to be weather beaten as well, it's little enough lost for a year among the lakes and vales where simply to look out my window at the high pass makes me indifferent to mirrors and to what my soul may wear over its new complexion."

Taylor Farms got the apology it wanted. The FDA told the company that one iceberg lettuce product from Central Mexico had a “confirmed positive” cyclospora test, then said the next day it had made a mistake and the result was a false positive. As of the FDA's own account, no positive product test for cyclospora has been identified. Taylor Farms then built an entire statement around that apology, led with it, and left the people who got sick in the last paragraph under "our thoughts remain."That is where this crisis got away from them. A false positive on one test does not mean the outbreak isn't yours — and as I say on the live, it is still unclear exactly where this outbreak is coming from. The FDA's traceback pointed at Central Mexico. And while Taylor Farms spent its statement arguing with a federal agency, the story became a Taco Bell story. Muck Rack ran the numbers for the live and you can watch it happen: Taco Bell's article volume runs past everyone else's, Taco Bell turns up inside the Taylor Farms word cloud, then inside the Walmart word cloud. Taco Bell started promoting menu items without lettuce. Taylor Farms took its statement down entirely.In this breakdown I read the statement line by line, ask who was in the room while it was written, and show you what the media data did before and after the correction. You always have to speak to the pain. You don't have to describe the symptoms, but you do have to see the person who ate that salad at a party, on vacation, at a rehearsal dinner.Second half: Amy Griffin, her memoir The Tell, and a lawsuit from a former classmate who says the book's most harrowing anecdotes came from her life. Griffin's answer was to file her own suit and pull the New York Times into it. Same week, same playbook as Taylor Farms. Attack the institution, skip the harm.

A lot of attention in the tree fruit industry recently has been paid to the bankruptcy filing by Gebber's Farms last month.

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.

Over the years, The Mark White Show has walked alongside families facing some of life's toughest battles. Tonight's show is about two of those journeys and a community determined to make a difference. I'll be joined by Katie Humphres-Cagle, Marketing & Business Strategist for Barking Cow Farms (owned by Maegan Adrian), to talk about the upcoming Back-to-School Bash and Benefit in Brilliant, Alabama. What started as a community event has become something much bigger. The benefit will honor the life and legacy of Maddie Bishop, whose courageous battle with Ewing's sarcoma inspired so many, while also supporting Cooper Terry and his family as they continue their own fight against cancer. We'll talk about the heart behind the event, why it was important to honor Maddie's legacy, how the community has rallied around both families, and how you can be part of making a difference. I hope you'll join us tonight as we share another story of compassion, resilience, and a community coming together when it's needed most. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™

On this episode of *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan provides an update on several of the most significant issues currently impacting agriculture, from government funding initiatives and livestock health concerns to renewable energy and the changing structure of the farming industry. Doug begins by discussing new USDA programs, including funding designed to support beef processors and strengthen the nation's agricultural infrastructure, while examining how these initiatives may affect family farmers and rural communities.The episode also explores the ongoing threat posed by the screw worm, highlighting outbreaks in Mexico, current eradication efforts, and the importance of preventing the destructive livestock pest from spreading into the United States. Doug explains why continued monitoring and coordinated response efforts remain essential to protecting animal agriculture and minimizing economic losses. Listeners will also hear about innovative land-use strategies that combine solar energy production with agriculture, including the integration of solar arrays with pastureland and forage crop production. Doug discusses how these dual-use systems can provide additional income opportunities while allowing farmland to remain productive. The conversation also examines the realities of relying on federal grants and government funding, noting that while assistance programs can provide valuable support, funding priorities and awards can change unexpectedly, creating uncertainty for agricultural businesses.The episode concludes with a discussion about increasing consolidation throughout the agricultural industry and its impact on family farmers. Doug explains how fewer companies controlling larger segments of the marketplace can influence competition, input costs, pricing, and long-term opportunities for independent producers.Key takeaways from the episode include the announcement of new USDA funding programs intended to support beef processors, the continued concern surrounding screw worm outbreaks and the importance of ongoing eradication efforts, and the growing potential for integrating solar energy with productive agricultural land. Doug also emphasizes that while federal grants can provide meaningful assistance, they are not guaranteed and can change with shifting priorities. Finally, he discusses how continued consolidation within agriculture may reduce competition, contribute to higher costs, and create additional challenges for family farmers striving to remain competitive in today's marketplace.

Last year on July 10th, one of the largest immigration raids on the Central Coast was carried out by federal agents at the Glass House Farms facilities in Camarillo and Carpinteria.

This episode examines how heat stress affects water intake in dairy cows—and why farms must prepare their watering systems for increasingly hot weather.A review of studies from 1985–2024 found that Holstein cows producing roughly 65–70 pounds of milk averaged about 24 gallons of water per day under thermoneutral conditions. During heat stress, intake increased by approximately 10 liters, or 2–3 gallons, per cow per day. Each one-unit increase in the temperature-humidity index was associated with another 1.5 liters of water intake. Although heat-stressed cows produce less milk, they drink more because the additional water supports evaporative cooling and body-temperature regulation.Data from the University of Minnesota's dairy herd revealed a more complicated picture. smaXtec sensors showed that cows averaged around 23 gallons per day, but estimated intake declined during summer. Possible reasons include warmer drinking water, pasture water access, competition at waterers, and changes in drinking behavior. Cows generally drank only four or five times per day, consuming roughly 14–20 liters at each visit. Peak drinking also shifted from midafternoon in winter to around 7 p.m. in summer, often after milking.These patterns highlight the importance of examining when cows drink—not just daily totals. Farms should ensure adequate water flow, tank capacity, access, and cool water during peak-use periods. Sensor readings are most valuable when compared with each cow's normal behavior and interpreted alongside weather, milk production, rumination, health events, and management changes.The central message is that water intake can be a useful indicator of heat stress, but unexpected changes should prompt investigation rather than an automatic conclusion. As extreme heat becomes more common, dairy water systems must be designed for peak demand rather than historical averages.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Each day offers new examples of America's pell-mell rush to join Western European nations in surrendering to Islam's stealthy conquest: Democratic primaries across the country are nominating sharia-supremacists or Marxist-jihadists like Zohran Mamdani, largely thanks to Muslim bloc-voting. Churches that are not mysteriously catching fire are being bought and transformed into mosques. Farms and other properties are turning into Muslim-only communities – and, predictably, future no-go zones – like the notorious EPIC City in Texas.  Now, Democratic legislators in Massachusetts want to establish a permanent “Government Islam Commission” to promote Muslims for state jobs and otherwise advance their sharia-adherent agenda.  Unsurprisingly, such serial accommodations are emboldening the jihadists here, causing them to espouse ever more openly America's submission to sharia. It's high time we say “No.” BanSharia.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

In this fun and wide-ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two sets of guests who are all about helping kids see the world—and themselves—differently. First, Jed chats with Candice Wierzbowski and Eric Hurlock, two of the creative voices behind The Super Smart Farm Show, a kids' podcast from Lancaster Farming newspaper. They talk about helping children understand where food really comes from and why farming matters to everyone, even city kids. Eric explains how the show answers playful questions like, "Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?" while sneaking in real science, nature, and STEAM learning. Candice shares how they use silly, talking animal characters, quizzes, and kid-submitted questions to keep young listeners actively engaged. Along the way, they explore topics like cow "myths," farm smells, cow farts' reputation in climate conversations, and the real challenges facing family farmers today. In the second half, Jed welcomes Kiyoko Hairston, author of the self-published picture book Freeda's Fabnificent Feet. Kiyoko introduces Freeda, a girl with very large feet who's teased at her new school—until those same feet help her save an elderly woman in a runaway wheelchair. Freeda then teams up with other kids whose "big" features become their superpowers. Drawing from her own childhood experience of being teased, Kyoko talks about shame, confidence, and her mission to help kids see that what makes them different is exactly what makes them powerful—and that, truly, no one can fill your shoes.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark is joined by Leah and Quint Pottinger, owners of Affinity Farms, for a fascinating conversation about the critical role agriculture plays in creating exceptional bourbon. Quint shares the remarkable history of his family's farm, which dates back to the late 1700s, making him a ninth-generation farmer. Together, Leah and Quint discuss their individual backgrounds, how they found themselves working together on the farm, and their commitment to preserving both the land and their family's legacy for generations to come. The conversation also explores the cutting-edge technology being implemented at Affinity Farms, including autonomous seeding and other precision agriculture practices that are helping shape the future of farming while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Mark, Leah, and Quint then dive into the world of growing grains specifically for the bourbon industry. Quint explains how relationships with distilleries are built, the extensive planning required long before a crop is ever planted, and what it takes to consistently produce grain that meets a distillery's exact specifications. They also discuss the fascinating ways that soil composition, field location, growing conditions, and even neighboring vegetation can influence the flavor characteristics of the grain and, ultimately, the whiskey itself. Along the way, they enjoy three exceptional pours: Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel Bourbon Preservation Distillery Pot Distilled Single Barrel Rye (crafted exclusively from grains grown by Affinity Farms) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C917 Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, a whiskey nerd, or simply someone who appreciates the stories behind the bottle, this episode offers a unique look at where bourbon truly begins—long before the mash bill reaches the distillery.
