28: The Future of Media

California Agricultural History, Apricots, and Soil Quality

The transformation of Northern California's Santa Clara Valley from a premier agricultural hub to a residential area is discussed. The hosts recall the "cutting cots" process for drying apricots in Fremont before the orchards were replaced by condos. They lament the loss of high-quality soil and the move of farming to the less flavorful produce of the San Joaquin Valley.
