America's Heartland

Largest Corn Harvest

Season 19 Episode 1 | 26m 30s

Discover how a California rice farmer sells his crop directly to consumers. Wisconsin high school students open their cookbooks to exchange “sweets and treats” for a lesson in healthy eating. On Farm to Fork, try out a turkey burger recipe you’ll want to “gobble” up. And meet a Virginia farmer who set a national record in hauling in the nation’s largest harvest of corn.

Aired: 04/05/26
Funding for America’s Heartland is provided by US Soy, Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education, Rural Development Partners, and a Specialty Crop Grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
