Listen "Grown, Processed, Made Right Here"
Episode Synopsis
Rivers, rails, unrivaled interstates and international air hubs at both ends help make Illinois a prime location to supply all kinds of food to all kinds of places across the state, country and world. Throw in some of the best land to grow food and farmers that grow it and some say it’s the food capital of the country. Hear from Tom Welge, whose Illinois-based food company employs more than 3,000 people, and Tyler Strom, managing director of the Illinois Agri-Food Alliance, to see how the state’s food sector has weathered the pandemic storm and where it might be going.
