America's Heartland

US Winter Salad Bowl

Season 19 Episode 2 | 26m 30s

“Heads will roll” in this southwestern farm field…as farmers harvest lots and lots of lettuce from America’s winter salad bowl. Growers down south step up efforts to help the hungry as part of “Farmers Feed Florida.” On Farm to Fork, we’ll learn how to prepare a frittata made with cauliflower. Montana farmers cash in on a growing demand for gluten free farm crops.

Aired: 04/12/26
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.
