Great ag podcast
A great and practical podcast as the guys focus on being out key issues and opportunities in the ag space with business leaders through casual and approachable conversations
Great podcast!
I used to work within the ag business and it's not an easy business. This is a great podcast and super helpful. Love the podcast artwork as well. Great job!
Plant based protein
Plant based protein is definitely an option but it will never shut down animal agriculture nor is animal agriculture bad for you and any more of an impact on the world. People need to be informed on topics before they speak about them in a public space.
