Variable Rate done RIGHT with SWAT MAPS: https://swatmaps.com/Zordi: https://www.zordi.com/Casey Call on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/casey-call-03a3b03b/Technology in agriculture can help reduce production costs and improve efficiencies, but it can also open up new possibilities for quality that goes beyond the average consumers' expectations. “Our economic picture is to be able to capitalize on growing a better product and supplying a better product to the consumer, but also being able to kind of fix our labor costs and control those to a certain point.”That's Casey Call, co-founder of Zordi. Which I first thought was a robotics company focused on building robots for greenhouse agriculture. Turns out they are that and more - using their own proprietary technology to build and operate their own greenhouse farms. “Getting people access to this produce is kind of the key. When people start having our strawberries, they're like, oh, well we get it now. And so getting more and more of this infrastructure built, getting more and more access to these things in stores, I think is the path that we're on.” This focus on quality and the latest in technology has some thought-provoking insights on the path forward. “We're gonna have to seek technology solutions. We're gonna have to seek new ways of planting, harvesting, processing, and selling food to people if we want to maintain a good quality of life.”Casey Call was born and raised on a fourth generation family owned vegetable and grain farm in New York State. After completing his degree in Ag Science at Cornell he moved across the country to become the agronomist for Grimmway Farms / Cal Organic in the central valley of California. Earning his MBA on nights and weekends, he eventually went to work at ag management software company, Granular which was later acquired by Dupont. At that time he moved on to become the Head Grower for Plenty, an indoor vertical farming company. All of these experiences led him to become the co-founder of Zordi, where he works alongside founder and CEO Gilwoo Lee to more fully automate fruit and vegetable production in greenhouses. As you're about to hear, Zordi acquires varieties from around the world, such as Korean and Japanese Strawberries, to grow and manage them with a fleet of harvesting and scouting robots. Then they market and sell those premium varieties through grocery stores. This is a massive project that they've taken on, and they've made significant progress in a short time. I respect Casey's perspective as one of the few people I know with firsthand growing experience on family farms, corporate farms, vertical farms, and greenhouse production systems. So it's interesting to see the ways he's combining this unique skill set.

At an improbable greenhouse in the Utah desert, yummy tomatoes grow without soil and produce for nearly an entire year. The greenhouse gets heat and CO2 from a natural-gas power plant to which it is linked by a sort of umbilical cord. Within this bubble of clean, warm air, bumblebees pollinate the vines, and wasps fend off parasites. Whether you hope to build a colony on Mars or just aim to get a good tomato when there's snow on the ground, this is a good place to start. Guests: Travis Jones, General Manager of Longvine Growing Co. Martin Weijters, Head Grower at Longvine Growing Co.

One thing we are always asked is to get stuck into some growing info. So for this week and next, we are going to look into the nitty-gritty of setting up a market garden. If you've ever thought this might be a career or business choice for you, then this podcast will hopefully shed some light on lots of the questions and considerations you need to take in right at the start. Who better to get down and get dirty with than, GIY's Head Grower Richard Mee, who is based at Grow HQ in Waterford city. GIY are a non-profit, social enterprise, helping people grow food, learn about food sustainability and ultimately teaching the country to GROW IT YOURSELF- GIY!Richard is an expert in biodiversity and horticulture and believe it or not, started growing at only 3 years old with his dad and since then has accumulated over 40 years of growing experience!. He studied for a BSc in Horticulture at Reading University and an MSc in Organic Farming at the Scottish Agricultural College. In addition to the UK and Ireland, Richard has grown veg all over the world, including Central America and Africa.We talk about the type of research you need to do before you set up, the size and the location of the land. We explore sowing, growing and harvesting including Crop Planning and Production, Soil Preparation, Sourcing Seed, Planting your crops and the type of equipment you might need. The type of Maintenance you can expect during the year and finally Harvesting and storing your produceOf course, financial considerations are important too, so we get Richard's tips on selling your produce. What type of investment would you need to start off in terms of time, resources and equipment. What kind of ongoing financial costs should I expect, and ultimately, is it worth it financially to grow vegetables and how much money can I make?But growing is far more than a financial reward and Richard is clearly passionate about this topic. So get stuck in, notebook at the ready, there's lots to learn here! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Catch Hour One on Tuesday and Hour two on Wednesday. This week I was invited to a virtual One on One session with Broken Coast Head Grower Kevin Anderson. It was a very educating event and I wish I could share more of it with you, the quality on some parts of the event, doesn't live up to our high standards. I still think you will enjoy the shortened version and get a peak inside Broken Coast.Chris Ianson is our educator and a Regional Manager with Plantlife Cannabis. Each week on Know Your Buds, we explore a different cultivar and make recommendations for what level of cannabis user it fits with based on their level of experience. I was so excited when I found out we were doing a higher CBD, lower THC cultivar and Dancehall from Spinach didn't disappoint. It's a sativa so great for day time use and it won't get you sky high but rather it invites creativity in a lot of people. We'll give you the Who-What-When it's good for (hint: everyone) and more. The Cannabis Question is about music and for What Pairs Well with Cannabis, I went with tough days, as the plant has literally been a life saver for me in the past.

How the reputation of cannabis has Changed with Anthony Franciosi, Founder and Head Grower for Honest Marijuana Company. This week we welcome a cannabis industry expert who recently made some comments about the Importance of Buying Legal Marijuana, How the reputation of cannabis has Changed and Pot Rules at Social Gatherings. Let’s welcome the Founder of Honest Marijuana Company. The vision for Honest Marijuana came to mind in 2008. Anthony had moved to Colorado, just a couple of years after the medical marijuana movement lit up. The laws were still fairly new and not many doctors there were writing up scripts. Anthony, with his slew of sports injuries, and his inquisitive nature, was the perfect patient for medical marijuana. He had the right medical history to get doctors into the swing of writing scripts for spliffs. But, Anthony wasn’t interested in being a patient; he wanted to be a producer. Having worked as a landscaper for close to a decade, Anthony had surrounded himself with quality, like-minded people who were all for going green (in the general organic sense that is). And, as serendipity would have it, most of them were cannabis growers too. Between his planting of herb gardens and perennials, the seeds for growing his own organic marijuana were planting themselves firmly in his mind.
