I record people telling their life stories. Most of my clients are farm families. I have a podcast: The Ag Tribes Report

Mango trees produce an amazing amount of fruit- but they are also an aggressive tree— the skin, sap, and leaves of the mango tree contain a substance called urushiol, which is an oily resin. Urushiol is also found in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.

Paw paw trees are sometimes called “Missouri bananas” because of their fruit but they grow from rhizomes and turn into thickets because new trunks grow up from the roots. You can only eat their fruit if you find the tree because they can’t be domesticated for sale in stores

Oak trees are brilliant- the way I tell the difference is a little off color… red oaks are like Native Americans using pointy arrows (pointy leaves) whereas white oaks are like white guys with bullets (rounded leaves). ?fit=1455%2C1149&ssl=1

Ginkgo tree- the maiden hair variety turns a beautiful yellow color and looses all its leaves in a single day

What is your taste in tree- use 4 photos to explain.

First cookout of the season. Doing it right with Ring Brothers Beef.

Man I love meeting people that have listened. Always open to guests that will change the way I think about things

The best part about today, you think you know what will happen… but you have no idea

Speaking with a farm manager last night. He told me an observation he had over the last 30 years “men view owning land as an opportunity, women view it as an obligation.”

Interviewed Simone Collins - who went through multiple rounds of IVF to have as many embryos as possible with the best genetics. Now she is running a school to try to educate kids for the modern era: https://fountain.fm/episode/14303386589
