Feb. 14: De-Stigmatizing The Challenges Facing Women In Agriculture

In this episode, KVPR sits down with Amy Wolfe of the California Farmland Trust to talk about this topic.

Plus, the latest news headlines, including Fresno appointing a new police chief and local sheriffs' calling for reform to California's sanctuary law.
