A fun story I wrote for the Star about two young farmers determined to turn back agricultural time in California.
Amber waves of grain have not been seen much in Ventura County for more than a century, but this year, two young farmers in Ojai set out to turn back the clock, planting wheat, a crop once central to agriculture in the county.
The reward for those who came out to help with the harvest was dinner, so I pitched in, plucking grain heads with other volunteers. In return, the paper's photographer, a very nice guy named David Yamamoto, took a pic of me too:
Thanks, David.
