RC is always great to listen and learn from. Please do a segment on the seed bank he mentions, perhaps there are other seed resources that can be identified too -- that is a critical factor for Regen Ag practitioners -- and find out how to protect against genetic drift (can these labs test seed samples a farmer sends them to verify no modern patent issues got inserted by the neighbor's fields?). Great to see RC has stepped into Landrace and Biology (also prepped in my operation too) -- that will be a fantastic adventure to share. From composters and bait producers I learned how worms stay in the top five inches of the soil (and why tillage disrupts so badly), same with beneficial fungi -- and those are the two features we need under ground to get great crops top-side.

What specifics about the drill/planter can you share - starting about 40 minutes in?
