Way Out West! with the Colorado FFA Foundation
From corn farmer to cowboy, we want to hear voices that know western life and agricultural ties. Each week, we will be speaking with various leaders, businesspeople, policy makers, advocates, personalities, and everyone in between. You see, we're not just passionate about agriculture, but we’re interested in showcasing the people who feed America and getting to know what they’re all about!
This podcast is hosted by Aidan Datteri, a past Colorado FFA State Officer and fifth-generation agriculturalist who has a passion and intrigue for all things agriculture.
