Correspondent Tom Wilmer visits with Mike Coldani at his Lodi, California ranch, where he and his family farm more than 1,000 acres and produce award-winning, organically-grown olive oil.
Coldani talks about “learn-by-doing” lessons acquired while majoring in agriculture at San Luis Obispo's Cal Poly State University—insights and connections that continue to serve him well, 18 years after graduation.
