Podcast: How and Why a Farmer Chooses an AgTech Solution with Joe Coelho & Dave Booher
Dave Booher and Joe Coelho join the Modern Acre Podcast to talk about how and why Joe decided to adopt the MyLand soil health solution.
Episode 410 of The Modern Acre podcast brings a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the relationship between an AgTech innovator and the grower on the ground. In this candid conversation, Dave Booher of MyLand joins Joe Coelho, a fourth-generation pistachio farmer and sustainability director at American Pistachio Growers, to share what it takes to actually move the needle on soil health, water efficiency, and farm ROI.
From early skepticism about microalgae to measurable gains in input reduction and yield stability, Coelho unpacks the why behind his decision to pilot MyLand on his own acreage. He also shares how this experience is shaping broader conversations with the hundreds of growers he supports across California.
