In this episode of One Bite is Everything, we’re joined by Lee Klancher, an author and photographer whose work sheds light on the vital role tractors have played in shaping modern agriculture—and even the world beyond it. Lee takes us through the fascinating history of tractor innovations, the industrial espionage that fueled fierce competition, and the stories of self-taught engineers who redefined farming from their barns and garages.

Lee’s tales reveal not just machines but the human spirit and resilience that keeps agriculture moving forward, even in the face of adversity. Join us as we explore these mighty engines of change and uncover the stories behind the machinery that feeds us all.

Lee's new book Snoopy & the Spy offers us an insider's view of the high-stakes world of tractors and the history of how we got where we are today.
