Show Notes
In this episode, we talk with Casey Cox, a 6th-generation farmer from Georgia (yes, 6th!). Casey decided to come back to the family peanut, sweet corn, and timber farm after going away to college and discusses the challenges she's faced as well as her early successes.
Casey is incredibly involved in water conservation efforts and shares how she is pushing for innovation, both in the policy sector and investing in technology to improve irrigation. We also dive into her appearance on the Netflix series "Rotten" where she discussed her perspective on the peanut industry. Tune in to find out how it went!
