Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 98: Irrigation Resources with Tom Devol
Q: What role do soil moisture sensing and satellite data play in irrigation decisions?
These tools form a triad with ET and soil moisture data that together help predict needs, improve scheduling, and optimize nutrient management; relying on any single data source is less effective.
Episode 98: Irrigation Resources with Tom Devol
Q: How does the ROI section help growers evaluate automation projects?
The ROI section guides growers on what cost factors to include, how to model savings from reduced energy use and labor, and what variables to consider to determine if the project pencils out.
Episode 98: Irrigation Resources with Tom Devol
Q: Is automation really worth it for new irrigation systems today?
Yes, because automation can dramatically reduce labor costs and improve precision, though adoption varies by region; the design should set up for automation to come as the technology matures.
Episode 98: Irrigation Resources with Tom Devol
Q: What are the most important questions growers should ask their irrigation designer?
Key concerns include energy use, future-proofing for automation, and how to design for components like flow meters and automated valves so that future upgrades don't become prohibitively expensive.
Episode 96: U.S. Headwinds and Marketing Trends with Laura Morin
Q: What strategies are you pursuing to keep almonds relevant and appealing to consumers going into 2026?
We're pursuing a unified, integrated campaign that highlights not just health benefits but also flavor, versatility, and enjoyment of almonds. There's a push to expand almond use beyond traditional snack contexts into growing need states and tailwind categories, plus activating high-impact partnerships like the Amazon program to influence purchase decisions at the point of sale.
