Something’s Growing in the Dark: You Won’t Believe What’s Sprouting
Things are getting a little spooky in this special Halloween edition of The Best Better Podcast! Join hosts Joel and Abbigail as they sit down with Paige Petticrew, Lenoir County Horticulture Agent, and Kaelyn Lane, Lenoir County Agriculture Agent, for a frightfully fun conversation about what’s growing in the dark — both in our fields and in our careers.
From creepy-crawly critters to mysterious plants, the group digs into the eerie side of agriculture while sharing how each of them found their path to NC Cooperative Extension. You’ll hear stories about their journeys, what inspired them to serve their communities, and how their work helps things grow — even when it’s a little spooky outside!
Tune in for laughs, a touch of Halloween spirit, and a behind-the-scenes look at the passion that drives your local Extension agents. 🌾👻
