History on Tap presents “Heading to Market: Truck Farming Then, Now, and Going Forward”

Related Organization: Shawnee Town 1929

In Kansas, agriculture is king. Our roots are connected to the land
and crops harvested from the soil. Join us for this month’s History on Tap night as journalist and agricultural historian Cindy Higgins highlights Kansas and the rise of “Truck Farming” culture in Shawnee and the surrounding region. From commercial specialty crops to agriculture experimentation, horticultural “royalty” marketing, and the evolving local foods movement, Kansas has a fascinating agricultural history and legacy that continues to impact the nation today.
