We are grateful to C12 for capturing Talanton’s story of impact through this powerful video. C12 developed the video for its curriculum in May. It was part of the educational content at all C12 Business Forums across the nation. The video shares:
Why it’s important – and strategic – to care for farmers and suppliers as true partners.
