Farm To Table Talk
Beyond Your Table – Michael R. Dimock and Rodger Wasson - Farm To Table Talk
The real dirt to common ground is found "Beyond Your Table". It's a new podcast launched at the 2020 World Ag Expo in Tulare CA. Leading voices in the agriculture and food space found common ground on the future of agriculture from diverse perspectives. Podcasters and co-hosts, Michael R. Dimock of Flipping the Table and the advocacy group Roots of Change and Rodger Wasson of Farm to Table Talk engaged two of California’s most important farmers in a roundtable dialogue. Don Cameron President of the California State Board of Food and Agriculture and VP and General Manager of TerraNova Ranch joined Judith Redmond, Co Owner and Co Founder of Capay Valley's Full Belly Farms. Don is a diversified large-scale grower, producing 25 conventional, organic and biotech field crops on over 9,000 acres in Fresno County. Full Belly Farms produces over 80 crops on 400 organically certified acres. Since global and domestic challenges appear larger than ever to farmers and ranchers with battles over trade, falling prices, regulatory burdens, labor shortages and extreme weather events, running an agricultural operation is hugely challenging. Is the real dirt inevitable conflict or is there common ground? This is the inaugural episode of a the new podcast launching in 2020 from the host of Flipping the Table, Michael Reid Dimock and the host of Farm To Table Talk, Rodger Wasson. The World Ag Expo graciously hosted this first live podcast event. The underwriters of this podcast are the Environmental Defense Fund and the Agricultural Council of CA.
