If standardized and benchmarked, soil health can provide a foundation for farm productivity, land value, crop premiums, and sustainable sourcing. We go Off The Husk with Mitchell Hora and put our butts to the soil.

How Did Zach Land a Smoke Show Like Randy?

We don't have a single guest here for this episode of Off the Husk. And I would like to say this was planned and we just decided to do things differently, but really it was just because really- It's a lie. Needed to get the podcast out and we just didn't line up a guest. So what we're going to do is we reached out to nobody, we just generically, generally reached out to everybody on Instagram and Facebook and said, "Ask us a question, and bring us a topic."
