    Propellers of Growth | Interview with Mark Flaman | Flaman Connect Podcast

    The future of farming goes airborne. Mark Flaman catches us up on the history of mapping and spraying drones, and why they’re a viable alternative to ground spraying. Then, he details the astounding capabilities of multispectral camera technology, the DJI Agriculture software suite, and DJI’s intuitive T50 aerial sprayer. Learn how these innovations can make light work of evaluating crop conditions, setting spray routes, locating obstacles, and guiding drones safely back to home base for recharging. Mark also discusses transport considerations, operating best practices, and what our current drone customers have to say. Last, but not least, he explains why Flaman chose DJI drones over competitor models that came with some mighty bold claims.

    Saskatchebananawan | Interview with Dean Sopher | Flaman Connect Podcast

    Move over wheat, canola, and lentils. Make room for bananas, lemons, limes, oranges, figs, and other sweet and exotic treats you wouldn’t expect to survive a Saskatchewan winter. One innovative grower is showing how the province’s bounty can become tastier and more diverse. Former Saskatoon city boy Dean Sopher tells Mitch, Regan, and Trevor how he passed on promising career prospects in computer programming and commerce to become an off-grid produce pioneer. Now, as owner and operator of Arkopia Greenhouse Homestead, he grows a variety of exotic plants – including banana trees – in a passive solar greenhouse he built himself. He’s also raising grass-fed livestock and freeze-drying delicious, long-lasting fruit smoothies. Dean has some sound advice for those considering permaculture and solar-powered regenerative farming – and wait until you hear how low his power costs are.

    Dig Doug. A Life’s Work | Interview with Doug Termeer | Flaman Connect Podcast

    Still a young man, our special guest Doug Termeer has enjoyed a larger-than-life life - growing up with six brothers and two sisters in the Carman, Manitoba area. He recalls riding in his Dutch-Canadian family's giant van, playing shinny games on a frozen river, and starting work at the tender age of twelve. He tells how that experience led to a sales career with Walinga, where he’s forged great relationships with his customers. His relationship with snow is a little more strained after it stole his hockey pucks in his youth and later barged into his hotel room during a trade show trip. Farm size matters – Mitch, Regan, and Trevor resume their discussion on regional farm sizes and why asking a farmer about his total acreage isn’t meant to be a personal question.

    Farming Out East | Interview with Ron Kleuskens | Flaman Connect Podcast

    “I've never not wanted to go to work in the morning,” says our special guest, Ron Kleuskens. His road to becoming a Technical Sales Rep at AGI started right out of high school, doing what some would call “grunt work” for a geotechnical engineering firm. A friend’s introduction to farm equipment inspired Ron to start his own ag business serving Ontario’s lush farming country. He’s proven himself as a driller of holes, a saviour of fish, and a quitter of no task set before him. Flaman’s Shaun Gettis talks about Flaman specialty trailers, particularly our multi-featured sprayer tenders. He explains the customer-focused thinking behind their simplicity, capacity and ease of use. Cow IQ – Ever looked into those big, brown, bovine eyes and wondered what’s going on behind them? Hosts Mitch, Regan, and Trevor inspect the gears between those fly-flicking ears.
