Who planted that broccoli? Is it safe to eat genetically engineered corn? Why are they irradiating meat? Are we running short of water? Why is China growing our apples?

They live where we can’t see them for a very good reason! They come in the night – and during the day– to steal the precious fruits of our labor. Their unrelenting assault on our good nature leads us to ask:
How can we get that #%*%# gopher?
The Food Chain Radio Show - Podcast with Michael Olson hosts Thomas Wittman of Gophers Limited, for a conversation about controlling gophers in the farm and garden.
Topics include why gophers make farmers and gardeners so frustrated; the ways in which gophers are controlled on the farm and in the garden; and reasons why gophers should be managed without poisons.
