1h 22m
In this episode of the Root Cause Podcast, we sit down with Mark Dodd—a lifelong farmer, agronomy expert, and global agriculture consultant with one of the most unique journeys in the industry.
From growing up on a Midwest farm… to building a precision ag business… to running one of the largest agricultural operations in Russia… and even opening a coffee shop in the Virgin Islands—Mark brings a perspective on agriculture that challenges everything we think we know.
This conversation dives deep into soil health, microbiology, food quality, and the future of farming in America—and why we’re at a critical turning point.
