Description

We’re back with a new season—and a new co-host.


In this episode kicking off Season 2, Patrick Smith is joined by new co-host Sami Tellatin, co-founder of FarmRaise and a longtime advocate for financing solutions that support producers during their soil health transition.



  • Sami shares her background, and then Patrick and Sami reflect on:

  • Why the financial side of soil health matters now more than ever

  • How macro shifts—like interest rates, tariffs, and public financing—are reshaping the ag landscape


Why conversations about capital, risk, and producer power need more airtime


They also preview what’s ahead for Season 2: a focus on macro shifts through the lens of the 12 Financial Levers of Soil Health, and a sneak peek at Episode 1 featuring Zach Ducheneaux, former FSA Administrator and founder of The Fifth C.


Whether you’re a producer, funder, or policy thinker—welcome. Let’s talk about the financial implications and opportunities related to soil health.
