  • After being a regular listener for many years, I've just been back to relisten to ep 1 now we're in 2025, and the predictions could hardly be more accurate or pertinent. The tone of content has changed over the years but this is indispensable listening for anyone grappling with our failing agricultural systems and their inability to deal with climate change.

  • Amazing content, needs an editor

    Y’all have so much potential, but the valuable knowledge is buried. As a farmer I have so little free time already and can’t justify listening to a 1 hour podcast for 10-15 minutes of solid info. If you cut the episodes in half and concisely delivered the content, the witty banter would add to the enjoyment of listening to the podcast. Right now, it just frustrates me because its hindering your ability to get across what you’re trying to say.
