We go Off The Husk with Our Wyoming Life-The Galloway family from Gillette, Wyoming.

Since then they have not only taken to a whole new life but now they're raising their own family on the ranch. Through multiple videos weekly Mike and Erin hope to entertain, educate and bring awareness to agriculture.

The Problem... Quantifiable soil health data and standards are lacking. This gap creates uncertainty in how to achieve soil improvements and perpetuates lack of upside for growers.  If standardized and benchmarked, soil health can provide a foundation for farm productivity, land value, crop premiums, and sustainable sourcing. We go Off The Husk with Mitchell Hora and put our butts to the soil.

Bee Populations, Diet Pop, and Randy: Facts and Fictions

We don't have a single guest here for this episode of Off the Husk. And I would like to say this was planned and we just decided to do things differently, but really it was just because really- It's a lie. Needed to get the podcast out and we just didn't line up a guest. So what we're going to do is we reached out to nobody, we just generically, generally reached out to everybody on Instagram and Facebook and said, "Ask us a question, and bring us a topic."
