The Business of Agriculture Podcast - A podcast by Damian Mason - Mondays

Categories:

Barry Aycock is a farmer, farm owner, cotton gin operator, nursing home owner, and founder of AgXplore. Barry was a farm boy who aspired to become a college professor, but some people just aren’t made for a 3 hour work week! So, he worked as a cotton scout and was so good at it, he won a national award. He was recruited to help the country of Bolivia grow cotton on the edge of the jungle, and that’s where he started his company. We talk about business, environmentalism, crop chemistry issues, being fined by the EPA, the future of Agriculture, and more. If you enjoy conversations with entrepreneurial types, this episode is for you!
