Growing Hops for Beer - Farm 35 - Dinner Starts Here

For brothers Scott & Todd, hops are a new crop that can help diversify their farm from the corn and soybeans they already grow. So, on a few acres on the edge of the farm stands poles 18 feet high to help the hop plants grow to the sky before filling out with the oily cones that craft breweries are craving in the push to build a large craft beer industry. Come along and see just what goes into growing this niche crop, and where some of their hops are being used! DINNER STARTS HERE 52 Farms in 52 Weeks! ______________________________ FOLLOW FRESH AIR FARMER: Twitter:   / freshairfarmer   Facebook:   / freshairfarmer   Instagram:   / freshairfarmer   YouTube:    / @freshairfarmer
