55 - Selling Roundup In California

My guest is Alan Bishop, a rural Wisconsin kid who, after graduating from the Ag school at the University of Wisconsin, ended up in Fresno. His job: To sell this new miracle chemical called Roundup. Alan and I met following my presentation to the Western Plant Health Association in Monterey, CA. We discuss the craziness of environmental compliance in California and repercussions for all of Ag after the recent $289M Roundup verdict. Alan teaches us about cotton, specialty crops, the uniqueness of western Agriculture, and then we contemplate a future without glyphosate.
