Insight With Vicki Gonzalez

California farmers increasingly growing agave amid warming conditions. Celebrating Insight’s 20th anniversary on the air. Finally, the Sierra Valley Arts & Ag Trail taking place on Sept. 21.

The Growth of California Agave

As California continues to experience drought conditions and the effects of climate change, farmers are turning to more resilient crops - like agave. CapRadio Environment Reporter Manola Secaira joins Insight to talk about how farmers are sourcing plants and adapting to California’s climate, as well as the growing market for spirits made from agave grown in the Golden State.

Insight’s 20th Anniversary

Insight is celebrating a big milestone this summer - 20 years on the air on CapRadio. And who better to celebrate than the hosts who have guided the show over the years? Current Insight Host Vicki Gonzalez sat down with former hosts Jeffrey Callison and Beth Ruyak for a special anniversary celebration.
