The Truth About Crop Protection: Designed to Protect You & Your Food Supply, Episode 44
In this Fill Your Plate Now episode, former Arizona farmer Julie Murphree dives into why crop protection is the cornerstone for saving our food supply. When headlines scream about “thousands of pounds of pesticides” being dumped on Arizona fields at night, most people picture something sinister. But the reality is the exact opposite: Arizona growers and aerial applicators choose evening hours for one reason only—safety. In this eye-opening conversation, Julie pulls back the curtain on modern crop protection and explains why Arizona agriculture is one of the most responsible, transparent, and highly regulated industries on the planet. You’ll discover why flying at night actually protects farm workers, neighbors, pollinators, and the environment (calmer air = almost zero drift, empty fields, bees safely in hives) and how every single application is documented on public Arizona Form 1080s—nothing is hidden, everything is traceable This isn’t an industry defending itself—this is a proud Arizona farm voice inviting you to see the science, stewardship, and sheer amount of training that goes into every decision on the farm.
