Meet the Minds Behind the Mission
Who are the masterminds behind those dark glasses?
We’re talkative. We’re curious. We’re beer nerds. And most importantly, we’re passionate about agricultuure. Whether we’re cruising on four-wheelers solving weed resistance (#crushkochia, anyone?) or explaining why the right adjuvant matters, we turn hands-on experience into teachable, actionable moments.
Our work stretches from the field to the mic. Whether we’re writing research protocols, delivering keynote talks, or recording our latest podcast episode, we’re here to inform, entertain, and elevate agriculture.
