Meet Allyson Maxwell. She is a corn, sugarbeet, soybean, wheat and seasonal pumpkin farmer raising two boys and a farmdog. Whew! She makes a minute to chat about:

• How a healthy garden became a 12-acre business venture
• Why sugar differed where she grew up in Kansas City, Kansas
• Food labels, including what is a GMO? How about genetic modification vs. plant breeding vs. genetic engineering?
• Should you wash your produce?
• What kinds of products can be found in her grocery cart?
• Her baking dreams
• What activities their family does together
• A technology that may have a future on their farm
• A bug bite that led her to where she is today
