Shay Myers, a third-generation farmer in Oregon, has gone viral on TikTok with his videos about onion storage. Myers is the CEO of Owyhee Produce and uses his TikTok account to give users an inside look at farming. A recent video of him explaining how onions are often stored for up to eight months after harvest has “popped off,” The Takeout reports. Myers’ account has brought a new understanding of American agriculture to the youth, with one user commenting, “Onions do be hittin’ different right now.”
