Travis Higginbotham

Travis Higginbotham has an extremely niche job: he's a trainer for cannabis growers. It's a pretty straightforward plant to grow in a backyard or closet. But as the crop legalizes and greenhouses and indoor grows get larger, normal crop issues like IPM (integrated pest management), worker safety, and sustainability come to the fore. So in the interest of making larger-scale crop knowledge accessible, Travis &amp; I got together &amp; nerded out about running cannabis grows.This interview was super long, so it's divided into 5 parts. The first two are here on Soundcloud, and the next three will post once a month. If you Must Have The Whole Thing immediately, the full 5-part series is available on Patreon at the $5 level as well: www.patreon.com/user?u=5610560iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/farm-to-taber/id1418015843?mt=2Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/farm-to-taber-podcastRSS subscribe: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:432549147/sounds.rssPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=5610560Donate: https://www.paypal.me/farmtotaber Twitter: https://twitter.com/farmtotaberpod?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarmToTaber/CreditsSound design &amp; edits: Nat WeinerTranscript: Tanja DraytonIntro music: Fight ‘Em Down, Flash Fluharty

2.8 2,000 Years of Rural Landlords feat. Patrick Wyman

Joe Swartz

Joe Swartz is a 4th generation farmer who started using hydroponics back in its early days—the 1980s—to help keep his family’s small farm open. Some thirty years later, it’s the longest-running hydroponic operation in the US northeast. Joe’s main job now is training new growers. In a hydro industry that’s full of hot new tools, Joe’s a great witness to how they’re still just tools. Running a good operation is still about making sure those tools serve the plants, and the humans on deck have all the training &amp; support they need to use the tools properly. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/farm-to-taber/id1418015843?mt=2Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/farm-to-taber-podcastRSS subscribe: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:432549147/sounds.rssPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=5610560Donate: https://paypal.me/farmtotaber Twitter: https://twitter.com/farmtotaberpod?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarmToTaber/CreditsSound design &amp; edits: Nat WeinerTranscript: Tanja DraytonIntro music: Fight ‘Em Down, Flash Fluharty

This episode is a deep dive into the people side of agriculture. Farm to Taber talks with criminologist Alex Tepperman about systematic bad decisions in criminal justice, and how these decisions played out in the past and today. In the second half, we take on the difficulty of making *good* decisions.

Welcome to Farm to Taber!

With most Americans living in urban areas, many of us have little familiarity with the work and lives of farm workers. Dr. Taber takes us to their world, educating us on issues we may have never considered before but are vital to our existence. Her stories are engaging as well as important; her delivery is eminently listenable. I look forward to every episode.

Valuable insights

I started following Dr. Taber on twitter, and am always impressed by the depth and thoughfulness of her tweets. This podcast is similar, and offers perspectives on various aspects of agribusiness. I find that I frequently learn some new perspective from Dr. Taber&#39;s podcasts and tweets. For example, her comparison of grass fed vs feedlot fed to batrch production vs continuous production was thought provoking.

Always interesting perspective
