Show notes
Join us for a lively and insightful conversation as we dive into the world of soil sampling with special guests Kyle Okke, Jason Hanson, and Lane Bothwell, who with us, Ag Geek Speak, form the Montana Mafia. This group spent a couple of days in eastern Montana collecting soil samples for Kyle Okke, and put the GK Field Mapper app to the soil sample test. Together, we explore the challenges, innovations, and camaraderie that make soil sampling both a science and an art.
We share stories from the road, including the creative setups of our soil sampling rigs—from mid-90s pickups to hydraulic probes—and how even small comforts like air conditioning make a big difference during long days in the field. We also cover how the GK Field Mapper app is transforming soil sampling with real-time updates and cloud technology, simplifying the process and enhancing collaboration in the field.
But it’s not all about the tech and tools! This episode is packed with laughter, friendly competition, and the kind of storytelling that highlights the joys and quirks of working in agriculture. From peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the unspoken rules of teamwork, we delve into what makes fieldwork so rewarding.
Whether you’re an experienced agronomist or just curious about precision agriculture, this episode offers a fun and engaging look at the tools, techniques, and teamwork behind soil sampling.
