PROGRAM - 756 California Heartland Special Edition While California agriculture is celebrated far and wide for the vast variety of its products, less attention is paid to the rich ethnic diversity of the men and women who work our fertile land. This week California Heartland gives special tribute to the many cultures that make up the heart and soul of the Golden State. |

Mas Masumoto | ||
| For Mas Masumoto there's more than meets the eye as he takes a wintertime stroll through his sleepy peach orchard. Visions of lush fields and the smells of fresh jam are in his mind even before the first bud has blossomed. As both a farmer and an author Mas is in a unique position to vividly describe what he calls the "art of farming." Our Tim Robinson takes us to meet this one of a kind farmer who has mastered the art of raising people's senses through both farming and writing. | |||
