Discover Why Italian Pasta Is Actually American, A Music Festival in a Cow Pasture & America's Oldest Farm
Ep 270 | People swear the bread and pasta are different in Italy — but ask a wheat farmer and the story gets complicated.
This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara look at where Italy's wheat really comes from, celebrate the oldest farmed land in America, and break down what's next as borders reopen after the New World Screwworm outbreak. Natalie also reports back from the Red Ants Pants Music Festival — the artists, the apparel, and the foundation it all funds.
