Radio Broadcast Num: 01

Radio Remark: One of perhaps the lesser known titles of the father of our country was farmer. Yet George Washington's passion for agriculture and extension was duly noted among colonialists in what would become the United States of America and several of the nation's founding fathers. And perhaps the crop most associated with the first President of the United States - cherries - now survives in a unique way with potential to benefit future generations of Americans. Rod Bain looks at the agrarian side of George Washington in this edition of "Agriculture USA".

PARTICIPANTS: Rod Bain and USDA tart cherry research expert Ben Gutierrez
