In this episode, we will look at the history of the citrus industry in Orange County. We will ask how agriculture related to the presence of toxic substances in the county's soil. But we will not stop there. With the help of Dr. Sackman, we will explain how oranges changed not only the natural landscape in Southern California, but also our core ideas about what this place represented.
