On rare occasions when “Down on the Farm” broadcasts on New Year’s Day, we wax celebratory with a Culture in Agri-culture special edition. Parlier tree fruit farmer David Boldt hauls his “portable” pipe organ into our KFCF studio to launch 2016’s festive mood. Reedley table grape grower and author Fred Smeds shares a harrowing tale of one June thunderstorm’s impact on his Savage Island Farm. Dinuba stone fruit farmer Paul Buxman serenades us on his viola and with poems penned by a late friend. Kettleman City asparagus farmer Steve Couture and host Tom Willey chime in with agrarian-themed poetry of favorite authors from near and afar. Let’s ring in the New Year with lots of raindrops on rooftops.
