Market Stability. What Works?
In Episode 27, Leslie joins Mike and Drew for a history lesson on agricultural marketing arrangements, including cooperatives, marketing orders, and other efforts to stabilize the hop market.

What has worked in the past, what hasn’t, and what lessons can help independent hop growers build a stronger, more stable future?
