Customer Reviews
Great Digestible Podcast for Non-Ag Folks
Love having these Ag stories brought to the surface and told in an easy-to-follow and chill format.
As someone who doesn’t have an Ag background but works with the industry, I appreciate learning more about it.
I might not be the target audience but would love a bit more clarification on certain things such as in the latest episode, explaining the commodity market and how it works.
Thanks,
