The Politicization of American Agriculture

This week, Katharine and Valene travel further along in the discussion they started in the last episode. After asking if civility even exists anymore, and reflecting on some political experiences they shared, the conversation naturally turned to how agriculture is used and abused in American politics. It’s a presidential election year here in the States, and rather unusually, agriculture has turned up more often on the debate stage and candidates’ issues platforms. Katharine and Valene get a little bit sideways with each other, discussing their viewpoints about how agriculture is represented politically. You’ll want to tune in to this week’s episode of the Millennial Ag Podcast to hear their take on agriculture, politics, and how we learned we have different viewpoints about this issue, but were still able to have a civil conversation.
