Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

9-18-26: MyAgLife Episode 281: CCC Speaker Preview with Emily Symmes – Is Your NOW Program Actually Working?
Q: What should attendees look for beyond simply harvest damage when evaluating a NOW program?
Attendees should focus on timing and source of damage, the balance of micro and macro data, and whether the inputs actually improve outcomes across different blocks and years, not just overall yield. They should also consider ROI implications, including costs and longer-term sustainability.
8-21-26: MyAgLife Episode 277: The Next Generation of Biological Crop Protection with Nic Steeneken
Q: What are you hearing from growers and PCAs about biological crop protection right now?
Growers are moving away from overhyped products toward proven efficacy with EPA registrations, seeking solutions for resistance management, longer product lifespans, and improved overall performance, while prioritizing worker safety.
MyAgLife Episode 275: July 31, 2026 — John Mueller on Improving Fumigation Performance Through Science, Data and Technology
Q: You mentioned a digital tool you've been using that was initially expensive. Where do you see the biggest opportunities with technology and AI for the industry today?
Technology and AI offer opportunities in export verification to prove efficacy and in cost management via monitoring devices, enabling fumigators to demonstrate results while managing rising fumigant prices and lean into data-driven decision making.
MyAgLife Episode 275: July 31, 2026 — John Mueller on Improving Fumigation Performance Through Science, Data and Technology
Q: And today, your presentation was really focused on driving and improving fumigation performance. What does that mean in practical terms?
The practical focus is applying the underlying science of fumigants to real-world operations by ensuring correct pest identification, maintaining effective gas concentrations, and optimizing temperature controls to maximize fumigation efficacy.
6/19/26 — MyAgLife Episode 268: Assemblyman David Tangipa on Water, Regulation and the Future of California Agriculture
Q: As a legislator, how are you defending agriculture these days?
He shares how his experiences with farmers personally motivated his commitment to advocate for affordable regulation, practical water policy, and engaging water professionals in the governance process to safeguard farming communities.
