  • Roundup? No!

    I’m sad to hear your guest mention using round up. Monsanto—so helpful? I think not. —Not to our environment, our food, nor our future.

  • Love this podcast

    Hey, I love this podcast. So glad to hear you will have a second season. This is the first year of my farm, its no-till and I wish I had listened to all the episodes last year so I would have a better strategy for getting rid of all of my perriennal weeds. Every epsidoe I learn something new, especially loved the one with Karl Hammer. Keep it up and thanks for making it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Q&A with U.S. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins at Commodity Classic
Q: What is the status of plans to open the four ports for trade and livestock movement?
There is no plan right now to open any of the four ports; we are watching day by day and evaluating how to push back the pest, with a goal of possibly opening one or two ports in the future.
Cover Crops 101 — Regenerating Your Soil
Q: Do you think that cover crops really do have a good fit for that orchard and vineyard style of agriculture?
Absolutely, they fit well as they provide many benefits in that agricultural context.
Cover Crops 101 — Regenerating Your Soil
Q: How important would you say it is to try and get grazing into a system with cover crops?
It's beneficial but not critical; cover crops are still valuable even without grazing.
Cover Crops 101 — Regenerating Your Soil
Q: How much of the info in there would you say is from your own farming experience versus your experience kind of with the seed company?
It's a mixture of both experiences, drawing largely from collective experiences across many farmers rather than solely personal experience.
A New Cover Crop Business is Born
Q: What has been the most fun and the most challenging part about just the whole business so far for each of you?
Mat said the most fun part is driving and exploring new fields, while Ryan found watching Mat gain life experiences rewarding but recognized the challenges in getting new equipment to work efficiently.
