The Leonard Lopate Show | Oct 26, 2017
Ted Genoways spent a year in York County, Nebraska trying to understand the many challenges farmers face as they our food.

Genoways details how farmers struggle against weather and soil as much as shifting market prices and corporate influence in order to make a living.
