    Vibe Farmer - Episode 6

    This week’s episode of The Vibe Farmer reflects on a trip to the AgriMinds Summit in Ohio and turns into a broader, honest conversation about curiosity, connection, and life in agriculture. We talk travel mishaps, lessons from the road, planting season decisions, regenerative ag ideas, everyday food realities, and what it looks like to keep learning, laughing, and choosing hope when things feel uncertain. No answers tied up with a bow — just real conversation from the field and the passenger seat.

    Vibe Farmer - Episode 5

    In this episode of The Vibe Farmer, we’re talking real life and real farming — from new sleep routines and farmer vibes to planting by the moon and why soil biology matters more than people think. We break down Boost in simple terms, talk tech and trust in modern agriculture, touch on global fertilizer pressures, and answer listener questions about ROI, niche markets, hemp, logistics, and ag tourism. Toss in some pop culture, Oscars chatter, Irish wisdom, and a reminder that timing, patience, and healthy soil are still the foundation of everything, and you’ve got this week’s conversation.

    Breaking the Curse with Jim Martindale | RC #24

    In this Root Cause Podcast episode, we sit down with soil expert and Curse Buster inventor Jim Martindale to discuss the discoveries that reshaped his understanding of soil structure, compaction, water movement, and root development. Jim shares how a New Zealand pasture aerator, years of consulting, and a key moment in Genesis 8:21 led him to develop the technology behind the Curse Buster. We cover why percolation matters more than infiltration, how silt layers quietly limit crop performance, the power of capillary water, and why CO₂ from healthy soil biology fuels big yields—especially in dry years. Jim also reflects on global soil observations, the limits of no‑till, and the surprising field results farmers see when their soil finally breathes again.
