Cream of the Crop

Available for over a year

Grant Kimberley is a corn farmer in Iowa. The Chinese government is building a replica of his farm and his entire Midwestern town. Plus, what some farm workers have to fear from a Trump presidency; why one hospital is training farm workers to also work as medical interpreters; how the history of Islamic Studies in the US began with a man falling off a donkey; and how one woman reconnected with her birth country through vegetables. Finally, we meet the world's most precious chicken. (Image: A blue ribbon is displayed next to a display of ears of corn at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa.
