Jesus was a great story teller. As he told stories, he connected with the hearts of those who were listening, and within every story (which we call 'parables'), there were gems of truth and life waiting to be uncovered. Have you ever pondered about the struggles we face when receiving God's word, living in it's freedom and sharing it with others? Pastor Michael Dutschke Bible Reading: Luke 8:5-15 (NLT)

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode bids farewell to Funchess Hall, where Auburn turfgrass grew its roots. For many members of the Alabama Turfgrass Association, just hearing the name Funchess Hall brings back a flood of memories. Maybe it was hustling to class with a cup of coffee in hand, late-night study sessions before a soils exam, or learning turfgrass management from professors whose lessons still shape your career today. Funchess may never have won awards for beauty, but for generations of Auburn turfgrass students, it was something far more important — home. Since 1961, Funchess Hall served as the heart of Auburn University's Turfgrass Science program. Although the turfgrass program was already more than three decades old when the Department of Agronomy and Soils moved into the then-new Funchess Hall, over the next 65 years it grew into one of the South's premier turfgrass education programs. Auburn graduates manage golf courses, athletic fields, sod farms and landscapes across Alabama and beyond. Inside those well-worn classrooms and laboratories, students learned everything from weed science and irrigation design to soil morphology and turfgrass pest control. More importantly, they built friendships, professional connections and memories that lasted long after graduation. Now, the end of an era has arrived. This summer, the Departments of Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences, Horticulture, and Entomology and Plant Pathology are officially moving out of the “infamous” Funchess Hall and into Auburn University's brand-new STEM + Agricultural Sciences Complex. As of late May, faculty and staff are packing decades' worth of research data, teaching materials and Auburn history into boxes, preparing for a full transition by August 1st. Once renovations to Comer Hall are complete in Fall 2026, the demolition of Funchess Hall will be scheduled. Fittingly, the move is happening during the quiet of summer semester — one of the few times campus slows down enough to reflect on the past while preparing for the future. And what a future it is. Auburn's new $224 million STEM + Agricultural Sciences Complex is a stunning 265,000-square-foot facility located at 305 W. Samford Ave (part of the former Hill Residence Hall site). The three interconnected buildings will house departments from both the College of Agriculture and the College of Sciences and Mathematics, creating opportunities for collaboration unlike ever before. The new facility includes state-of-the-art research laboratories, modern teaching laboratories, collaborative student spaces, teaching gardens and even specialized research areas for aquatic animals and insects. For turfgrass students, it represents a major investment in the future of the industry and the continued growth of Auburn's nationally respected program. Of course, while the building may change, the Auburn Turfgrass Management program remains rooted in the same hands-on philosophy that makes it special in the first place. Students pursuing the Turfgrass Management track still earn a B.S. in Crop and Soil Science while gaining practical experience from internships and the Auburn Turfgrass Research Unit just a mile from campus. They'll continue learning the science and management principles needed to become leaders in the turfgrass industry throughout the country. But now students will be based at one of the most advanced agricultural teaching facilities in the Southeast. For alumni, there is a lot of nostalgia in saying goodbye to Funchess Hall. Those green tile walls, aging classrooms and scuffed floors told a story of hard work, tradition and learning. But Auburn has always been about more than bricks and mortar. The spirit of the turfgrass program — the people, the passion and the Auburn Family — is moving right along with it. So while Funchess Hall may be a distant memory soon, its legacy will continue to grow in every superintendent, sports turf manager, researcher and industry professional who once called it home. And somewhere inside that shiny new building, another generation of Auburn turfgrass students is about to start making memories of their own. The departments moving from Funchess Hall to the new buildings are planning a “Farewell to Funchess” celebration on campus during the fall 2026 semester. Watch alumni mailing lists and social media for more information as details are worked out. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

Living the story 7: The 4 Soils of the heart | Louise Campion - 12 July | 6PM - Matthew 13:1-9 & 18-23 by Holy Trinity Claygate

Early-season cold, wet conditions can leave corn looking rough, but appearance alone does not tell the whole story. Before making management decisions, growers should evaluate stand establishment, crop staging, and root development to determine whether the crop is likely to recover. In this episode of RealAgriculture's Corn School, Aidan Filipchuk, sales agronomist with PRIDE Seeds,... Read More

We speak to the Environment Secretary about the government's new farming roadmap for England. It's 25 year plan and ministers say it'll give farmers the long-term clarity they need and access to the tools, technology,  skills and supply chains 'to innovate, invest and grow with confidence for generations to come.' We find out what farmers at the regenerative farming event Groundswell think of it, and discuss food security and global volatility. Experts argue that the UK can't have a 'business as usual' approach to growing food and food production should be a priority.All week we're talking about soil. Maize has become a controversial crop in recent years, in part because of its potential to cause soil erosion. In Devon, an on-farm trial is underway to grow maize interspersed with strips of mixed plants known as a 'living mulch', to protect the soil. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

This is the first of our impromptu in-the-field programmes, recorded at Groundswell 2026.

On this week's Diggin' In with MOFB, Jim Plassmeyer joins the program talking all things Amendment 1. As the Director of the Soil and Water Conservation Program Jim has a front row seat to the impact of the Parks, Soils, and Water Tax. The program's main responsibility is to assist the soil and water conservation district in each of Missouri's 114 counties as they promote voluntary soil and water conservation to their constituents. The districts provide financial incentives, technical assistance, education and best practices to agricultural landowners and operators, working with state and federal conservation partners. Jim has been serving the program for over 25 years. A YES vote on Amendment 1 continues Missouri's existing one-tenth-of-one percent sales tax that funds state parks and historic sites, as well as critical soil and water conservation programs for another 10 years. The measure does not create a new tax or increase taxes. It renews a voter-approved funding source that has been supported by Missourians since 1984 and generates about $140 million annually for conservation and outdoor recreation. By voting yes, Missourians can help protect farmland and improve water quality, while ensuring future generations can continue to enjoy Missouri's state parks and historic sites.

In this episode of the Greenside Up Podcast, Jordan and Jason sit down with Zack Farr, third-generation citrus grower, redneck entrepreneur, and co-founder of Biotech Applied Research, for a wild, unfiltered ride from castrating calves to carbon-smart soils. Zack walks through his journey from FSU to Miami sales, back home to struggling citrus groves, into industrial hemp, and ultimately to discovering the power of biochar after a "holy grail" 15' x 15' patch of supercharged soil changed everything. The conversation dives deep into the realities of Florida agriculture, the collapse of citrus, the politics and economics around hemp, and how biochar is being used for tree restoration, mitigation projects, turf and landscape installs, and large-scale soil remediation. Along the way, they swap stories about a high-spec Tampa tree mitigation job that unknowingly used Zack's product, talk practical application methods, ROI, and why biochar might be the "foundation concrete" of healthy soils rather than just another green-industry fad. If you're in trees, turf, landscape, or ag and want a real-world, boots-on-the-ground look at biochar and regenerative practices in Florida, this episode is for you. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

Parable of the Soils    

What if real change doesn't start with what you do—but with what's happening beneath the surface?In this 12-week series, Rooted, we'll explore how transformation actually works. Using the picture of a tree, we'll discover that a healthy life grows in two directions at once—down into deep roots and up into visible fruit.Episode 1 lays the foundation for the entire series by exploring a simple but powerful truth: healthy growth starts with where you're planted. We'll be discussing Psalm 1, the Parable of the Soils, and how transformation happens from the inside out…from the roots up.Follow Coach Dan Holland:Facebook ➡️ https://www.facebook.com/CoachDanHollandYouTube ➡️ @CoachDanHollandVisit us online

The Storyteller | Matthew 13:1-23

This Sunday, Pastor Emmanuel unpacked The Parable of the Soils, challenging us to consider the condition of our hearts and the kind of soil we're cultivating. Through personal stories and Jesus' teaching, he explored how distractions, difficulties, and competing priorities can keep God's Word from taking deep root—and what it looks like to cultivate a faith that bears lasting fruit.Whether you're feeling spiritually stuck, stretched thin by life's demands, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your faith, this message offers practical encouragement for becoming the fertile ground God designed you to be. You won't want to miss it!

SCRIPTURE: Exodus 1-2 6.7.26 - The Soils That Shape Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY'S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE!REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:The sermon begins by looking at Moses's traumatic origins: he is raised among his people, but moves overnight into the house (and privilege!) of Egyptian royalty. How might this have shaped Moses's sense of identity? How did this divided identity affect Moses's early attempts at heroism?When Moses kills the Egyptian overseer and “chooses his people,” those people don't choose him back! What might this teach us about the difference between well-intentioned action and effective service? Think of a time when you tried to help someone but it didn't go as expected. What did you learn about the importance of understanding a situation fully before jumping in to 'fix' it?What is the difference between Moses's actions at the well and the encounter with the overseer? How can you tell the difference between serving others to meet your own needs (like proving your worth) versus serving others simply because it's the right thing to do?We all have “soil” (meaning: life circumstances, trauma, insecurities, and even privilege) that shapes who we are and how we grow. How might God be working in your life right now to heal your past? How might He be calling you to serve… even as you're still maturing?

Four listener questions. Four very different building science challenges. One highly technical episode.Steve, Jake, and Pete tackle a collection of building puzzles that span foundations, roofs, wall assemblies, and moisture management. The discussion starts with expansive soils and why successful construction often depends on engineered foundation systems designed to accommodate soil movement. From there, the crew examines attic radiant barriers, where they work best, and why climate matters when evaluating their performance.The conversation then shifts to a cold-climate stucco retrofit involving exterior rigid insulation, reinforcing a core building science principle: prioritize the four control layers in the right order—water first, airtightness second, drying potential third, and thermal control fourth. Finally, they unpack the risks of a “diaper wall” assembly, where moisture-sensitive materials become trapped between low-permeance layers, and discuss how weather protection and airtightness can reduce those risks.A highly technical episode packed with practical problem-solving, building science fundamentals, and real-world application.Pete's Resources:Post-Tension Slabs for Expansive SoilsEvolution of Foundation Design for Expansive SoilsORNL Thermal Performance Evaluation of Attic Radiant Barrier SystemsBuilding America Solution Center – Attic Radiant BarriersEPA Moisture Control GuidanceGBA – Vapor Profiles Help Predict Whether a Wall Can Dry

Here you go — podcast style for dent techs only (no local SEO, no YouTube vibe). I leaned into the deeper/biblical angle while keeping it relevant to entrepreneurs, techs, and the PDR mindset. Podcast Title Options: The Parable of the Soils | Why Some Dent Techs Grow & Others Stay Stuck Truth, Identity & Growth in PDR | The Parable of the Soils Why Some Techs Never Level Up (Biblical Perspective) The Soil of Your Mind | PDR, Growth & The Truth About Success The Real Reason Some Dent Techs Stay Stuck Identity, Truth & Becoming Elite in PDR The Hidden Battle Holding You Back in PDR The Mindset That Changes Everything | Tactical Dent Tech Podcast Podcast Description In today's episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, John dives into something deeper than dent repair, business, or even mindset—the Parable of the Soils and how it directly applies to growth in PDR, entrepreneurship, and life. Why do some technicians level up while others stay stuck for years? Why do some people embrace truth, struggle through growth, and eventually thrive… while others quit, get distracted, or stay trapped in limiting beliefs? John breaks down the biblical principle behind the condition of your "soil" and how your mindset, identity, and willingness to accept truth may be the very thing determining your success in Paintless Dent Repair. This episode covers: • The difference between truth and comforting illusions • Why some dent techs hit an "aha" moment—and others never do • The Parable of the Soils and how it applies to PDR mastery • Identity, limiting beliefs, and personal growth • The real power behind discipline, wisdom, and perseverance • Why your environment and mindset matter more than talent Whether you're new to PDR or a seasoned technician trying to reach the next level, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, skill, and who you believe you are.

Mark - The Suffering Servant for a suffering people

[Recorded on 6/4/26] There are many pitfalls that young adults are prone to fall into while pursuing Jesus, and perhaps the most foundational is the sin of godlessness, or living daily life as though God doesn't affect us. The Parable of the Soils has great insight into how to have "ears to hear" what God is saying to us. If you want to learn to live a life of godliness, come check out this message. Testimony by Sammy Herbel.

In the Parable of the Soils, Jesus reveals that the condition of our hearts determines whether His truth takes root and produces lasting spiritual fruit. In this message, Pastor Aquila explores how hardened, shallow, and distracted hearts can prevent spiritual growth, while good soil remains receptive, faithful, and deeply rooted in Christ. As part of our Kingdom Come series, this message challenges us to honestly examine our hearts and ask what may be keeping us from fully experiencing the life God desires for us both now and forever.

Farmers in Wales and Scotland are asking what last week's elections in Scotland and Wales will mean for agriculture. Neither Plaid Cymru in Wales nor the SNP in Scotland have ended up with an outright majority. In Scotland, Mairi Gougeon, the Rural Affairs Secretary, didn't stand for re-election, so a new appointment will have to be made. In Wales, Plaid Cymru have won 43 out of the 96 seats in an expanded Welsh parliament so are short of an outright majority. It means the Welsh pro-independence party will need the support of others to pass laws and a budget in future. So what does it all mean for agriculture and the environment - both policy areas that are largely devolved? The agriculture show season begins with Balmoral Show just outside Belfast this week. Farming Today will be reporting from the show, and all week, we'll be looking at different aspects of farming across Northern Ireland. Unique to the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland's Soil Nutrient Health Scheme is the largest baseline soil sampling programme ever undertaken. The £37 million government-funded scheme is managed by the Agri-Food and Bio-Science Institute (AFBI) and has taken four years to complete.A new centre to identify and address plant diseases is being set up with government funding of £3 million. The National Centre for Environmental Horticulture Plant Health will be virtual, operated by staff at the government's Animal and Plant Health Agency and the charity, the Royal Horticultural Society. It's hoped that commercial plant growers and gardeners too will send in evidence of pests and diseases to help stop their spread.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Rebecca Rooney
