When your farm is located right in Chicago’s backyard, you need to get more from every acre. Illinois farmer Jamie Walter joins us on Grow Getters to explain how he and his dad diversified their operation by making whiskey with their corn crop. Whiskey Acres is now an award-winning brand with a wide range of spirits and a popular tour stop for bourbon fans.

Grow Getters takes a lively look at creative ways farmers are plugging into their passions to add revenue to their operations. These resourceful “grow getters” are redefining what it means to be a farmer. Mixing fascinating stories with lots of humor and even some music from host Davis Michaelsen, Grow Getters is truly an original in the world of Ag media.
