Love FoA!

I continue to listen to Tim’s podcasts, because I can consistently count on interesting thought-provoking, and ag-relevant content. Tim is prepared, asks great questions, and keeps it meaningful. FoA is my go-to podcast for agriculture.

Great podcast on Agriculture

Really enjoyed listening to your guest on Teff. I am trying to eat healthier and just ordered some of the product. It was enjoyable to listen to here story about growing a different cash crop. I also enjoyed the podcast on growing food in the commercial buildings. Thanks for what you do to spread the news of great new business ideas in agriculture.

Keep up on what’s interesting in Agtech

Always enjoy listening to the show. A great way to get introduced to, and keep up with, innovation in agriculture. Approachable for those outside the industry, so we can better understand how we can continue to feed a growing planet. Especially enjoying the recent episodes on regenerative agriculture and other advances in sustainability.

Episode 311

Really enjoying this podcast while I’m out monitoring pest/diseases in grapes! Wanted to share in response to episode 311 that there are commercial vermicompost facilities in northern CA - check out TerraVesco based in Sonoma. Our local growers love it!

Terrific Insight!

Tim’s broad spectrum of guests and pointed questions do a fantastic job of highlighting key issues in the ag industry today and how they’re innovatively being addressed. Great listen every time!

The pulse of innovation in agriculture and food

Tim have managed to have such a wide variety of guests, and hosts each episodes in a thoughtful, inquiring path. Many voices out there are jargon-filled, and definitive in their perspectives. I feel like I’m along with Tom for a learning ride in each episode and it’s always time well spent. Thank you Tim and co-hosts. Lee Addams, Open Trail Partners

Great guests with a host that asks the right questions

Consistently impressed with this podcast. Tim is great at having a mix of guests and being genuinely curious enough to give space to a range of perspectives without passing judgment. He asks fantastic questions, too, pushing guests to get to the practical realities of the ideas they are talking about

Episode 126 - Stephen Hohenrieder

This episode with Stephen is one of the best I’ve heard describing the methods of investing in a decentralized food system. Tim sets the stage then allows Stephen to lay out his rational for investing in the space in an incredibly clear and logical manner. Highly recommend a listen. Keep up the great work Tim!

Complexity in Ag

Complexity has become increasingly more important as agriculture adapts to the tools and models of the 21st century. Tim uses clear, and dynamic approach in his interviews to bring out considerate responses in terms of agriculture. Don’t miss out because the sustainable approach rings true here- everything is truly connected

Future of agriculture

Tim does a great job with interviews and covering agrifoodtech topics - one of my favorite podcasts!

Exceptional resource!

I am a recent subscriber as I cruise podcasts looking for resources and resource material in the development of ‘Farming for Life’ agricultural center in Lynden Washington. Resources that discuss complex subjects that connect agriculture to the variety of food grown, processed, distributed and consumed. The “Why” in foods chosen including the consumers reasons and perceptions for those choices. This has been an outstanding find. Thank you for your exceptional podcast.

Hi

I love this channel. Always having good topics
Nina C Bean

Favorite podcast

I’m relatively new to the industry so I appreciate the way Tim makes these topics accessible. This podcast stands out because of Tim’s great questions about both business and ag. Keep ‘em coming!
jjb1975

Great show!

Too often in Ag we get wrapped up in our own operations. We tend to forget to look around at the great stuff happening around us. Listening to this show reminded me to get my eyes and ears up to witness and hopefully create some of the great changes happening in our industry.

Great Casual Yet Technical Look At AgTech

The Future of Ag podcast is a great high-level look at what is coming next in agriculture, presented in a way that makes me feel I’m chatting with my best friend. Each podcast is real, having light hearted yet technically deep conversations. The concepts are always thought provoking, yet quick to grasp. If you want to learn more about AgTech, or if you enjoy a fantastic engineer-type talk show, this one will have you hooked.

Thanks for your hard work

While vacation with my family, as they shopped. I listen to all of 2019 podcasts. They are so informative and coming from a farm background it was most enlightening to hear that farmers are not the villains and farm families still produce our food. Thanks for your deep dive into such a wide range of topics.

Sound quality needs improvement

Love the content of this podcast!! The only issue is that the people interviewed are often really hard to hear because of the sound quality of the device they are using
funcranium

Best ag podcast- hand’s down!

If you want to be a part of the movement that will continue to innovate agriculture to provide for this world- this is a must listen! I constantly learn new ideas, company, and keep up with the what’s what for agriculture. Keep it up Tim!
Tyler I hate this app

Great podcast for those interested in Ag

Tim is a great interviewer and the topics are quiet interesting if you care about agriculture and farming.

One of The Best Podcasts Out There

Tim is an incredible host and is always bringing interesting guests on the show. Every episode is packed with great insights from start to finish. If you’re interested in Ag tech or sustainability give this a listen!

The best way to pass time

Oddly enough I actually work on a golf course, I only have to maintain 200 acres of turf...... every week I listen to Tim and who ever is on and find myself learning not just about the new technology but also about the agriculture industry at all...... I have been recommending this podcast to people not in the industry to listen to this because the way the information is provided..... it’s just more entertaining to listen to than some PowerPoint warrior at a college.

Great Ag Podcast!

This is such an informative podcast. I work in the wine industry in western Oregon and have been in the ag industry for 8 years. I really enjoy hearing from growers in the Pacific North West. Learn something new from every episode! Keep them coming!

5 min. Farmer

Great show. Just found your pod cast. The 5 minute Farm is a great idea. It’s good to hear from someone like myself. I’m starting a small farm to service my community and to hear about others can be vary helpful. Thank you for your show. Mark Oro Bay Farm

Really insightful content

I’m an early-stage VC investor trying to broaden my knowledge of the agricultural industry and issues. This is the best podcast I’ve found on both broad Ag subjects and how the industry is changing and being disrupted. I learn at least one thing in every episode.

Great interviews discussing important issues for the agricultural industry!

Great content to make people aware of what is out there that they can use to improve their operations!

Great information source on ag!

Tim does a great job with a great mix of the various activities going on in agricutlure. I've recently returned to agriculture as a career after a nearly 30 year detour into IT. This podcast has helped me learn about the innnovation and efforts going on worldwide to meet the needs of the planet! Keep up the great podcasts!
RandySPerkins

Just what I was looking for

I love how Tim has created a one-stop shop to explain how the ag industry adapts and evolves to an increasingly globalized agriculture economy. I grew up on a dairy farm and it's great to look back on the how my parents navigated the business of farming; ensuring that our farm's business model kept us profitable. I'm now a science educator and this podcast makes me want to enter into the area of ag education and/or ag outreach. Well done.
shoesjob

Some real good information here

Great topics about real life issues and future solutions. Podcasts / Ag / Tech all interesting things that should be a casual topic of today’s discussion. Follow up friday is a nice point to answer questions; build community, and educate further.

Better than college!

This podcast is absolutely fantastic! I am confident I have learned more about agriculture through this podcast than I did in 4 years of college. Great job Tim - don’t stop!
SaraMich!

Highly recommend!

Have been listening to the fantastic Sustainability at Scale series on this podcast - such a welcome, nuanced approach to a topic that can be so polarizing. I highly recommend to people of all different Ag backgrounds and consumers interested in understanding what’s really going on behind some of the labels!
The Real Last Cowboy

I love it!

I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of the podcast, Tim doesn’t just focus on one type of agriculture; he covers a broad spectrum of all things related to Ag. Over the last year and a half I have personally found Tim to be very accessible, if you have a question about a podcast don’t be afraid to shoot him a message, if he can’t tell you the answer he will connect you with someone that can!
jamesdecker2006

Very worthwhile

Really fascinating topics and guests from a wide variety of perspectives. It’s a unique opportunity to hear agriculture producers, scientists, and business/industry leaders talk on a high level about agriculture and technology.

Very biased

Sadly too biased in point of view , lack of open mind

Excellent ag podcast

This is my favorite ag podcast, I am a little bit of an information nerd and love that this podcast is very informative. Please keep up the good work and looking forward to the next 100 episodes.

The Best Ag Podcast out there!

Tim...keep up the good work. Your topics are timely, thorough, and it is obvious you have prepped for each interview. The direction of series is a great idea. I enjoyed the block chain series and am now enjoying the discussion on sustainability. Thanks for exploring it from different points of view.
Graffte

Enlightening, stretches the envelope

Ag innovation presented practically by the people making it happen. Topics inform and stretch thought processes about what’s possible. Enjoy listening every week.
