The realities of farming are complicated and challenging. As a journalist, Beth Hoffman reported on food and agriculture from the outside. Now she’s a farmer and, using her journalistic skills, has just published an in-depth look at farming from the inside. It’s called Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America.
In this Talk of Iowa episode, host Charity Nebbe talks with Hoffman about moving from San Francisco to her husband's family farm and what she's learned.
