0:00.0	Hi, friends, this is John. Welcome to the Regionative Agriculture Podcast.
0:04.7	As I'm recording this, it's the beginning of July, and we're in early summer stage,
0:11.0	although for many of you listening to this, I know it might even be fall or late summer.
0:15.6	You know, it's at this time of the year, and in the last couple couple of months where we get many of the phone calls
0:21.4	that I think really set our, set us apart as a company in the opportunity that we have
0:29.7	to work with growers. And the nature of the phone calls is we're in the middle of the growing
0:35.3	season and all of a sudden we have significant problems.
0:39.7	What can we do about them?
0:41.3	And the nature of these conversations, I mean, what I'm calling a significant problem is saying that,
0:47.6	oh, I'm growing wine grapes or a vegetable crop and I have severe powdery mildew pressure or I have severe
0:57.1	Japanese beetle pressure how do I manage this problem without using pesticides and or
1:03.6	I'm growing alfalfa and I have significant challenge with alfalfa weevil how do I manage
1:08.1	the alfalfa weevils? It's often in the regenerative
1:12.9	agricultural context or conversation that is broadly evolving around the world, there is often this
1:20.2	expectation that we need to invest in long-term soil health improvements, cultural management practices, and so forth,
1:31.5	with the expectation that over a period of time, as soil health improves, as crop performance
1:37.3	improves, then we can prevent a lot of these challenges from showing up in the first place.
1:43.8	We can prevent the alfalfa weevils and we can prevent the Japanese beetles.
1:48.0	And all of that is accurate, or at least it should be if we're implementing things well and we have a system solidly in place.
1:55.0	But in the meantime, there is this year, there's the growing season right now where we have
2:02.3	Japanese beetles or alfalfa weevils or whatever disease or insect challenge shows up.
2:08.3	And it would be really nice to have an immediate solution that isn't a pesticide.
