On Hand

Training the Next Gen of Latino Farmers


Listen Later

Farmers face some universal challenges: business barriers, pests, and uncooperative weather. But there are other layers that are true for many Latino farmers: language barriers, ready access to markets, and generational farming business experience. Here’s where La Cosecha comes in. It’s a project run by Michigan State University to assist Latino farmers and provide support in building a successful business.

GUESTS:

  • Yailene Morales, blueberry farmer
  • David Mota-Sanchez,  program director of La Cosecha and associate professor
    at the Michigan State University Department of Entomology
  • ___
