Dr. Susan Van Scoy, a professor at St. Joseph's University and author on the duck farming industry, shares fascinating insights into the history of duck farming on Long Island. At its peak in the 1950s, 75% of the nation's restaurant ducks came from this region. She discusses the challenges faced by local farmers, including suburbanization and government regulations, which led to the decline of the industry. The iconic Big Duck also features prominently as a symbol of this rich, yet often overlooked, heritage.
