That's right. We have an amazing guest today. We do. Today we have. Today we have. I'm very excited about this guy. I have a lot to learn from what this gentleman has to deliver. He is the soil whisperer. That's a good one. Yeah.

How are you doing? I'm doing great. Thanks for the intro there. Thanks for coming today. I appreciate you taking the time to be here. Hendrick is Schraeman although he just goes by Hendrick. It's like Madonna. He's that iconic.

And I look a lot like Madonna. He's a beautiful gentleman with long flowing blonde hair, very handsome and Hendrick is an amazing talent. He is an expert in sustainable agriculture permaculture. He's a wizard when it comes to soil and we're going to get into talking about what's wrong with our soil.

We can be rejuvenated. We're going to talk about factory farming. We're going to talk about GMOs and a lot of these kind of hot button political and health issues that are in the zeitgeist right now. Hendrick is the man to set us straight and educate people.

What do you actually do? I'm actually in the health business in a sense. It's true. It's true. At its very root core. The foundation.

Because of all the leftover stuff of bomb making, which was then used for agricultural fertilizer.

I didn't know that. They had to repurpose all this sort of stuff.

Well, it's obvious how you can actually get a truckload of fertilizer and add some diesel fuel and blow up an entire building in downtown Kansas.

We've seen the results.

So the stuff was bomb making material. Of course, lots of leftovers. What are you going to do with it?

And of course, if you have pure nitrogen, you start throwing that on your soil and all of a sudden a kaboom, lots of stuff started growing really fast.

So they thought, oh, awesome. We can use this.

We can sell it.

And that's what they started doing, basically. And that's what I call the chemical revolution.

They just started literally telling farmers they could get more production, faster, more for an acre of land, et cetera, et cetera.
