## Resource

Life as an EarthWorks Agronomist means living on the road. The early season is packed with trade shows and Soil First Academies across the country, connecting with turf managers from golf, sports turf, lawn care, and hydro-seeding. So far, we’ve delivered over 30 Soil First Academies this season alone. In this episode, Jack Higgins and Joel Simmons hit the road to Buffalo for a talk with our distributor partner, Weaver Turf. The podcast unfolds in real time, starting in the car on the way to Newark Airport, continuing through the terminal, and wrapping up late at night after a well-earned stop for Buffalo wings and a couple of Guinness. Along the way, it’s pure EarthWorks: conversations on turf, weather, microbiology, construction, and getting ready for spring. There’s plenty of industry insight, a lot of laughs, and the kind of honest, unscripted energy that only comes from a long day on the road. If you’re gearing up for the season, this one’s worth the ride. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.
