Leighton Walker is joined by David Addison, General Manager at Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club, and Steve Neilson, Chair of the club, for an in-depth conversation about governance, leadership and the relationship between a golf club's board and management team. David returns to the podcast for a third time, and Steve explains his route into the chair role and how his background in business, construction and dispute resolution has influenced his approach to club governance. A major focus of the conversation is the governance structure that has helped transform Barassie. The club moved away from a traditional model of the captain effectively overseeing everything to a structure that separates the business responsibilities of the council from the golf and social responsibilities of the captains' committee. David and Steve explain how that has created clearer lines of responsibility, greater accountability and a stronger platform for long-term development. The pair also discuss the importance of trust, communication and empowerment in the relationship between chairman and general manager. Rather than becoming involved in day-to-day operations, Steve's role is one of oversight, challenge and support, allowing David and his senior management team to get on with running the club while ensuring decisions are properly tested and reported. Strategy has also become increasingly important. David and Steve explain how the club brought together its senior management team and past chairs to develop a longer-term strategy, supported by data, external facilitation and member engagement. They also discuss the importance of educating incoming volunteers about the club's history, financial position and governance structure so that new board members understand what they are inheriting. The conversation explores the benefits of professional development and engagement beyond the club, with David explaining how Barassie has increasingly encouraged its management and greenkeeping teams to attend industry events, visit other clubs and share ideas. The aim is to bring new thinking back to the club while ensuring that investment in development delivers a measurable return. Leighton, David and Steve also discuss some of the key appointments that have helped move Barassie forward, particularly the recruitment of and excellent Course Manager, alongside the development of a strong senior management team. With greater investment in staffing, the club has been able to strengthen its course, professional operation, clubhouse and wider member experience. The conversation isn't without its challenges. David and Steve reflect on previous course redevelopment proposals that narrowly failed to secure member approval and the lessons learned about communication, engagement and avoiding an "us and them" mentality between members and the club's volunteers. Looking ahead, Barassie has an ambitious programme of investment, including a major refurbishment of the men's locker room, bunker redevelopment, potential changes to three of the course's weaker holes, improvements to practice facilities and plans for a new swing room. Irrigation and water security are also becoming increasingly important considerations for the club. Throughout the conversation, David and Steve return to the same themes: good people, clear responsibilities, trust, transparency, accountability and continual improvement. This is a fascinating look at how a chairman and general manager can work together effectively while maintaining the right balance between governance and management. For anyone involved in golf club boards, committees or management teams, this is a practical and honest conversation about building a successful governance structure, empowering professional staff and creating the conditions for a club to keep moving forward.

California agriculture is facing a growing list of challenges, but Westside farmer Joe Del Bosque says the industry's future depends on practical solutions, innovation, water and ensuring the next generation has a reason to stay involved in farming. In the latest episode of the AgNet News Hour, “the Ag Meter” Nick Papagni and Sir Josh McGill welcome Joe Del Bosque of Del Bosque Farms for an in-depth conversation about the realities of farming on California's West Side. Del Bosque, who farms in the Firebaugh-Los Banos area, discusses his specialty-crop operation and the challenges facing growers of cantaloupes, honeydews, watermelons and tomatoes. He explains that California farmers face high labor costs, extensive regulations and ongoing water challenges while competing against lower-cost imports. Agriculture, Food Security and California-Grown Produce A central theme of the conversation is the importance of California agriculture to the nation's food supply. Del Bosque emphasizes that California has some of the country's best soils and climate for producing specialty crops that cannot be grown as effectively in many other areas. Papagni and McGill also encourage consumers to pay attention to where their food comes from and, when possible, choose California-grown fruits, vegetables and nuts. The discussion highlights the difference between produce grown under California's strict standards and products shipped thousands of miles from other countries. The hosts argue that consumers should consider quality and food safety—not simply price—when purchasing fresh produce. Technology Is Changing the Farm Del Bosque also describes how dramatically agriculture has changed since he began farming. Irrigation, crop varieties, weed control and sophisticated packing-house technology have all advanced, while automation, drones and robotic equipment are creating new opportunities. However, harvesting crops such as melons and table grapes remains highly dependent on skilled human labor. Del Bosque says the modern farm increasingly needs college-educated workers capable of managing technology, regulations and sophisticated production systems. Water Remains the Biggest Challenge Water is another major focus. Del Bosque discusses the potential impacts of SGMA and the importance of capturing storm flows and using them to recharge depleted groundwater supplies. He also stresses the need to remove politics from agricultural issues and find solutions that allow farmers to continue producing food. A Future for the Next Generation Despite the challenges, Del Bosque sees opportunities ahead. More young people are studying agriculture and preparing for careers in farm management, pest control, human resources, technology and other agricultural fields. The conversation also covers crop conditions, market pressures, rising wages, organic production and the importance of improving marketing for California-grown products. Listen to the full AgNet News Hour podcast to hear Nick Papagni, Sir Josh McGill and Joe Del Bosque discuss what it really takes to keep California farming productive—and why protecting the state's agricultural future matters to everyone.

It's easy to focus on technology. Smart controllers. Sensors. Weather data. Flow meters. Soil moisture. Automation. All of that matters. But in this episode of The Sprinkler Nerd Show, Andy Humphrey and Dustin Nihsen bring the conversation back to the person behind the system. Because even the best irrigation technology in the world is only as good as the operator. Dustin Nihsen, owner of Sprinkler and Irrigation Services in Gretna, Nebraska, has spent more than 30 years in the irrigation industry. He started in the dirt, digging holes and learning the trade the hard way. Since then, he has designed thousands of sprinkler systems, earned multiple Irrigation Association certifications, helped lead one of the Midwest's largest sprinkler companies, and built a business focused on raising the standard of the profession. This conversation is about what it really means to put professionalism back into the irrigation profession. Dustin shares how irrigation contractors can stop competing as "just another sprinkler company" and start becoming the Purple Cow: the company that stands out, communicates better, trains harder, inspects deeper, and delivers a higher-value experience. He explains why professionalism shows up in the small details: how the truck is parked, what the technician wears, how the customer is greeted, how systems are tested, and how confidently a company communicates its value. Andy and Dustin also talk about smart irrigation from a field-level perspective. Sometimes the smartest thing a contractor can do is not install a new device. Sometimes it is reducing runtimes, fixing broken nozzles, understanding precipitation rates, checking pressure, using cycle-and-soak, and training technicians to ask better questions. The episode lands on a powerful challenge for every contractor, owner, technician, and irrigation professional: If you manage 100 clients with 10 zones each, that is 1,000 zones of irrigation under management. Reducing each zone by just one minute could potentially save over 1 million gallons of water per year. That is the power of a smart operator. And Dustin's advice says it all: "In order to make our industry more professional, it has to start with you." This episode is a reminder that Smart Irrigation Month is not only about smarter products. It is about smarter people, smarter standards, smarter service, and smarter leadership.

In this episode of The Sprinkler Nerd Show, Andy talks with Scott Bowen, Commercial Irrigation Manager for Conserva Irrigation, about what happens when irrigation becomes more than service calls and sprinkler repair. Scott shares his 30-year journey through golf irrigation, sports turf, distribution, manufacturing, consulting, design, and commercial water management — and explains how that background shapes the way he sees irrigation today. The conversation explores Conserva's move into commercial irrigation, water management, training, site assessments, flow sensing, smart controllers, high-efficiency components, and the growing need for irrigation professionals to think beyond repairs and toward long-term system performance. Andy and Scott also dig into the future of the irrigation technician, the difference between fixing sprinklers and managing water, why soil health matters, how commercial clients think about water use, and why training, certifications, and networking are essential for contractors who want to become more professional and more valuable. This episode is a great reminder that the future of irrigation is not just about putting water on the ground. It is about understanding the system, the soil, the technology, the client, and the bigger responsibility of managing water well.
Why did the civilisation that invented writing, cities, and law destroy the very soil that made it possible — and why are sixty to seventy percent of those same fields still poisoned by salt today? How did two scholars at the University of Chicago, reading cuneiform grain records from 2400 BC, discover that the fall of Sumer was not caused by war or plague but by a slow, invisible chemical process that no amount of ingenuity could stop? And what does it mean that the Sumerians could see it happening, recorded it meticulously on clay tablets, and kept irrigating anyway?John tells the story of Iraq and the land between the rivers — the white crust on the fields of Uruk, the dying date palms of Basra, and the most quietly devastating title in the history of academic writing...----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review-----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

Are you choosing your system because it suits the canal anatomy, or because it is simply the one you were taught? Endodontic file systems can feel like a maze of brands, tapers, alloys, motions and marketing claims. But beneath all that noise, the real question is much more practical: what is your file doing inside the canal, and what compromise are you accepting? In this episode, Dr Samuel Johnson returns to unpack the Endo Showdown: rotary versus reciprocating files. We cover file motion, glide paths, shaping philosophy, NiTi metallurgy, cyclic fatigue, torsional fatigue, and why no system is perfect. https://youtu.be/HfWDBbNgjsA Watch PDP270 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl A palliative root canal can be useful for an unrestorable tooth if disinfecting the canal allows infection to heal and natural bone to recover before extraction and future implant planning. ⚠️ Do not dismiss root canal treatment purely because the tooth is not a long-term functional restoration. ✅ Where appropriate, consider whether endodontic disinfection could improve the future implant site by allowing natural bone healing. Key Takeaways The purpose of shaping is not simply to scrape canal walls; it is to create space for irrigant flow. Irrigation is the most important part of root canal disinfection. Rotary files move in a continuous 360-degree rotation. Reciprocating files cut in one direction and reverse before excessive stress builds up. Modern reciprocation is designed to cut, release and gradually progress apically. File choice is not just about motion; metallurgy, taper, design and operator experience all matter. NiTi hand files with strong shape memory may be problematic in curved canals because they want to straighten. Martensitic heat-treated files are more flexible and can better follow canal curvature. Unwinding flutes are a warning sign that a file may be close to separation. Inspect files regularly during treatment, especially in curved, calcified or difficult canals. A glide path is essential before introducing larger rotary or reciprocating files. Without a glide path, a shaping file may create its own path, risking ledging, transportation or perforation. “Grabby” files pull themselves into the canal; this can be useful in experienced hands but risky if forced. Reciprocating systems can feel simpler and safer, but they are not foolproof. Cyclic fatigue happens when a file repeatedly bends around a curve until microcracks form. Torsional fatigue happens when part of the file binds while the motor continues to turn.

Welcome to episode 412 of Growers Daily! We cover: we're gonna tackle a pervasive myth about water droplets and sunlight, we'll take on a living mulch question, and discuss the hoss garden seeder. We are a Non-Profit!
If you aren't a fly fishing sicko, you might not be familiar with the Henry's Fork in eastern Idaho. This place is a trout's dream, with an incredible amount of insect and aquatic life that gets these fish to grow big, and get very, very picky. The Henry's Fork sits in some of the most productive irrigated agricultural land in the American West (Idaho potatoes are famous for a reason!) And there is certainly tension between these two main economic drivers of the American West: recreation and agriculture. That's where the Henry's Fork Foundation comes into play. In today's episode, we talked with three HFF science team members about how science, landowners, and conservation can work together. Thanks to Rob Van Kirk, HFF's science and technology program director, Jack McLaren, aquatic ecology program manager, and Christina Morrissett, climate adaptation program manager, for joining us!
On this episode of the Crop Doctors' Podcast, Drew Gholson discusses how Mississippi corn growers can make informed irrigation decisions to protect yield potential during critical growth stages. Drew explains how moisture sensors help monitor available soil water, why understanding moisture depth throughout the soil profile matters, and how rooting depth influences irrigation timing. He also breaks down the importance of proper irrigation scheduling, avoiding early-season overwatering, and maintaining adequate moisture during peak water demand to maximize corn productivity and irrigation efficiency across Mississippi fields. https://extension.msstate.edu/shows/mississippi-crop-situation

Habitat Podcast #386 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Al Tomechko of Vitalize Seed Co! We discuss: Protecting young trees properly is just as important as planting them. Native grasses and diverse cover improve bedding and soil health. Splitting fertilizer applications improves nutrient efficiency. Weed matting can drastically reduce maintenance around trees. Diverse habitat creates more resilient deer properties. Soil biology drives long-term property improvement. Irrigation can dramatically improve tree survival rates. Native seed mixes provide food, cover, and pollinator benefits. Small annual improvements compound over time. Healthy soils help outcompete weeds naturally. And So Much More!

We are back with another solo episode! Fritz dives into the world of Reddit viticulture advice to separate helpful guidance from misleading recommendations. Using real vineyard and winemaking questions pulled from Reddit threads, Fritz evaluates the quality of the responses while adding his own professional perspective. The episode covers a wide range of vineyard topics, but throughout it, Fritz highlights an important lesson for growers at every level: context matters. Many online answers contain kernels of truth, but successful vineyard management depends on site conditions, climate, soil, vine age, regional disease pressure, and long-term goals. He explains why broad internet advice often lacks the specificity growers actually need to make confident decisions. Listeners will come away with a fresh perspective on vineyard establishment, irrigation management, pruning strategies, disease prevention, and realistic expectations for small-scale winegrowing projects. In this episode, you will hear: Establishing vineyards in cool climates like the UK and Northern Europe PIWI grape varieties and disease-resistant planting strategies Realistic timelines for vineyard establishment and first harvests Challenges of starting and managing a small hobby vineyard Irrigation management for young vines during extreme summer heat Reviving neglected Frontenac and Edelweiss vineyards in the Midwest Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

In this episode, Gerrit is joined by his brother Dallin as guest host while Richard is away following the passing of his father. After announcing the NCAA bracket winner and working through the mailbag, including a listener-made "Dendometer" chart ranking Gerrit's biggest pet peeves, the brothers tackle a question about whether Latter-day Saints will one day gather to Missouri to build the New Jerusalem, tracing the doctrine from early revelations through Brigham Young's teachings to the modern church's global gathering. The episode closes with tender reflections on losing a father and the hope of the Resurrection.
