Join me as I sit down with Sarah Burnett from Texas Earth, a company at the forefront of biostimulant production. Listen as Sarah takes us through her family's journey in this industry, which began when her father, Jim Burnett, accepted a calling to heal the soils of the earth. We will delve into the importance of soil microbes and the roles they play in crop nutrition.
If you are wondering how natural products can compete with the chemical heavyweights in Big Farma, Sarah's got answers for you. Together we will explore the benefits of more natural farming, how it can improve soil health, and its surprising financial benefits. Get ready to have your mind blown by the power of nature.
