Jon Eck, California Wheat Grower
Listen now
Description
On this episode of the Sourdough Podcast I introduce you to my friend and local grain grower Jon Eck. Jon describes the successes and failures of his first year of wheat farming as well as what drew him to plant wheat in the first place. We talk about what it takes to do business in the wild west of wheat farming AND how his first harvest is already feeding students and transforming California schools. This episode examines our newly established local grain economy through the perspective of the wheat grower. I always love talking with Jon and I am so glad to be able to share this conversation with you.
