Two years ago, as I was conducting a self-examination about the next step in my career, I was contacted by the founder of a new company called AgWiki. Joining a startup company was something I had never considered, primarily because most of my 35 years of professional experience have been in the corporate space, and I knew it would be […]

Soil Health and What AgWiki Can do to Help.
Long ago, my father told me that soil erosion is the Almighty’s way of trying to level the earth. If you pause and consider the statement, it is pretty accurate. If the soil is left bare, with little or no organic matter to protect it, erosion will occur from water or wind. In many cases, the better the topsoil, the […]

From the ground up, processes and procedures designed to measure and advance sustainability throughout the food system are […]
Open for Criticism
Several times these past few weeks, I have seen a quote attributed to John F. Kennedy that is used to correlate to our current global pandemic. “When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. One represents danger, and the other represents opportunity,” Kennedy said. The quote is from a speech the president presented to the United […]
Illogical Criticism of our Heroes
We all have our heroes in life. We generally define that term in categories—courage, perhaps from a family member or friend that fought a fatal disease, one’s nobility is a trait I relate with an individual’s character and finally, an outstanding achievement. For the sake of this conversation, let’s focus on the latter. President Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Henry Ford, and […]
