Ep 003: Cookies, Cakes, and Anything that Bakes

On this episode of Kernels, Marlene Eick and Luke Crumley are joined by the Executive Director of Ohio Corn & Wheat, Tadd Nicholson. The group talks about what soft red winter wheat is used for, how you can find it, and how the wheat foods industry as a whole uses it across the nation. Also on this episode, Tadd introduces his very own segment, a Tadd Talk (pun fully intended). This week it is about fertilizer prices, and the work the Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association did to prevent a tariff being placed on imported fertilizer, saving farmers money.
