PERENNIAL GRAINS BABY! What if our crops grew back every year like your lawn does every spring? I know what you're thinking. "Cassidy, you're off your rocker. Everyone knows that almost all food plants are grown as annuals, and that's why we need farmers to replant them every year. It's genetically impossible to create perennial crops in our lifetime." I know, naive of me to even pose the question. But... what if I told you... it were possible? Hope you're ready to learn, because this week Cassidy is walking you through the past, present and future of agriculture all in an action packed 14 minutes!
