Farm Talk with Nicholas Kristof

In this podcast, we talk with Nicholas Kristof, the award-winning columnist from the New York Times, and farm owner in the Willamette Valley. The Willamette Valley is one of the most fertile agricultural areas in America and a highly important economic driver for Oregon. In the valley, it accounts for $2.3 billion dollars while tourism accounts for $966 million dollars. A ratio of 2.4 to 1. With Nicholas, we talk about growing up on a farm, the challenges of farming, and some of the opportunities for rural and urban Oregonians to come together. This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling route guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Podcast Channel  / The Connection  Our Route Guides / Dirty Freehub Our Ask / Donate
