And you’re going to get a great illustration of what that looks like on the ground and in practice in today’s episode with Todd Kirwan.  Todd and I discuss what types of cultural changes need to happen in a farming operation to get th…","meta_description":"Today’s episode is another installment in our Tech-Enabled Advisor series.
