This year is completely different from all other years. If you have youth that usually get show animals around this time of year, I know you are feeling the stress and anxiety that we all are.

I sit down with 2020 Grant County Fair Board President Ty Bays and we get right down to answering those questions. You don't want to miss this episode!

I was able to get some of the big names behind chile production to sit down and talk to me while we were at the 2020 New Mexico Chile Conference. Chile is such a unique crop that is mostly grown here in the southwest United States and most of that production comes from the driest part of New Mexico. Our state in known for that delicious chile, but did you know that you eat chile in several other food items? We discuss paprika peppers, chile peppers as well as some other popular crops. Ed and Tyler Curry with Curry Seed, Co., Ben Etcheverry with Mizkan America and Kent Welsh with Olam Spices and Vegetables sit down and visit with me all about chile!
