0:00.0	What is going on? Welcome back to the Exodus podcast. This week we have a great episode with Kevin Boyer of EliteLand Consulting. And Kevin has worked on some of the best farms in the country. And we talk a little bit about what that's like to take top end farms and make
0:23.8	them even better and the common theme was the dirt and so Kevin has the nickname the dirt wizard and as
0:29.8	you listen here you're going to probably think you need to get a soil sample and understand what
0:35.1	you can do to improve your soils and all the impacts it can
0:37.7	make for your hunting endeavors. We talk about some general mistakes that Kevin has seen with
0:42.7	multiple clients and I hope you guys really enjoy this episode. We're going to try to do a
0:47.5	white tail cribs with Kevin. I think it would be an awesome episode. Unfortunately, the video version
0:51.8	of this episode for YouTube, we'll have a static image for Kevin, but nonetheless, we got to get together and record some more content. So let's get into this week's episode. Here we go.

1:50.6	the product line and stuff. And then since then I've sold that off and kind of concentrating more
1:56.0	on consulting for just a few special clients or a few customers here and there that I do work for.
