NEW BLEND! SUMMER SQUATCH

Is the PA Game Commission telling the truth about PA hunters' approval of a Saturday opener to deer season...a policy move that changed 'decades old' hunting tradition in PA? What goes on behind the scenes of a state agency when politics trump biology?  How does this affect you, the license-buying hunters? Is it really acceptable to send PA sportsmen's/women's money to California when it was earmarked for CWD management in PA? Politicians are hated and Jason's guest today certainly takes his fair share of shots from a certain segment of the PA outdoor community.  Jason talks with PA State Rep. David Maloney about all of this and much more...Oh, and did Dave REALLY just say that the PGC is lying about the survey findings regarding the heated change to the traditional Monday-after-Thanksgiving opener? Yep, he sure did!

Jason provides a detailed snapshot of what we've been talking about on the Innovators! platform since the September start.  Thinking about giving up on regenerative food plotting? Think again as you listen to one grower who has scaled what we typically do on less than 50 acres to over 7,000 acres of regenerative and organic corn and soybeans. Listen to one of Jason's favorite whitetail bow hunters explain his efficient but aggressive mature buck killing system. Jason covers the latest in trail cameras and talks about a type of trail camera that seems to "dry up" scrapes in big buck states across the midwest but not before the great Dr. Rick Haney talks in depth about the soil health test that bears his name.

Jason and David talk about the early season drought many are experiencing from a systems and functional soil health approach. What's the best timing for roller crimp terminating in a drought? Plants fix dirt! How to win during the next drought or flood through resilience. Cover crops and drought. Using the Soil Talker (ST-1) to test in-field microbial abundance. Using amino acid chelated foliar nutrition to increase root exudates and photoshynthetic efficiency. They discuss Revive DT, Drop-Tine's approach to restoring fertility in the soils through plants.

Jason talks with Paul Brown of Brown's Ranch and Nourished by Nature near Bismarck, ND about a CO2 pipeline that threatens soil health and ecosystem function on some of America's most pristine private land.  Proposed by bureauctrats and big industry, could this serve as a proof of concept for a C02 pipeline near you?  Is the name of the game eminent domain while wasting tax payer dollars to support politicians and failed government policies?  Why are steaks from Brown's Ranch so damn good?

Jason talks about reviving ancient grains for wildlife with organic farmer and entrepreneur Bob Quinn (Montana). Bob is considered the modern day pioneer of ancient and heritage grains; including his organically grown Kamut. The Drop-Tine Seed Co. introduces their Ancient Grains for Wildlife Blend as well as Revive DT, a NEW liquid foliar plant nutrition product: Absorbed better, used completely!

Jason starts the podcast with a big announcement for a new product and then talks with the globe trotting no-till cover cropper Steve Groff.  As always, Steve shares some incredible context on soil health and regenerative agriculture.  He discusses why better soil means better oil as he continues to grow and sell high quality CBD products produced on his regenerative Pennsylvania farm.  Visit Steve's www.cedarmeadow.farm to purchase his superior products.

87 year-old Glyphosate researcher, plant pathologist, retired U.S. Army Col. and Emeritus Professor (Purdue Univ)., Dr. Don Huber has been shot at, stabbed and beaten to a pulp during his storied investigative career merely because of his long-time involvement in research on the impacts of Glyphosate (RoundUp) on plant nutrition, disease and health.  Hits have been taken out on him by researchers and industry thugs who are in the tank (follow the $$$) with large multinational organizations and the makers of synthetic chemicals such as RoundUp.  Jason proposes a broad spectrum of topics surrounding the Glyphosate/Roundup discourse including the science-based research that links Glyphosate, as a broad spectrum mineral chelator and gut/soil disrupting antibioic, to Chronic Wasting Disease in white-tailed deer.

Jason and "guest host-client-friend" Joe Switzer talk with Dr. Rick Haney about soil testing and all things soil health. The guys share their stories about why lime becomes unnecessary as the plant-microbe interaction mediates the soil pH in and around the root rhizoshpere. Oh, and Jason talks about propolis spray and Moscow mules!
