Voice of the Grower: Recent Episodes
ecoation
The Voice of the Grower podcast is all about empowering the future of AgTech through the lens of the grower. At ecoation, we believe that growing food is one of the world's most honourable vocations. This platform exists to celebrate 1st to 5th+ generation farmers and their families through sharing their stories, history, perspectives, and lessons learned.
Voice of the Grower is hosted by Cameron Lust, who invites a new ag expert to share their story in each episode.
In this episode, podcast host Cameron Lust sits down with Daniel Bateson, IPM professional and current #ecoationnation Customer Success Rep.
Tune in to hear Daniel speak about how an initial interest in forestry and conversation led him to study soil science. Through the people he met along the way, Daniel found his passion for managing greenhouse ecosystems. Joining us on Voice of the Grower he shares his ag career journey and driving interest from youth in ag careers.
