CropTalk

Welcome to CropTalk, Your favorite podcast for all things greenhouses, CEA, and AgTech! Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re a brand-new listener (hi, welcome, grab a seat!), we’re here to bring you insightful conversations with the people shaping the future of agriculture. Hosted by the endlessly curious Kyle Barnett, CropTalk dives into everything from growing tips and industry trends to personal stories and business advice. We talk with growers, greenhouse operators, AgTech innovators, and anyone with a good story to tell. It’s like chatting with your smartest friends over coffee, except about crops (and usually with fewer coffee spills). Now powered by IUNU, CropTalk has had a little glow-up. We’ve added more resources, expanded our guest list, and doubled down on making every episode better than ever. So whether you’re here for the wisdom, some entertainment, or both, you’re in the right place. New listeners, longtime fans, welcome to the CropTalk family. Let’s talk crops and grow together!
