Unearth the mysteries of soil health with us as we welcome Sarah Burnett back for part two. Sarah shares her personal journey towards leadership at Texas Earth, where she is taking her father's legacy to new heights by developing new products.
Her new, cotton seed-based fertilizer boasts a staggering 328% water holding capacity, promising to help soils retain moisture important for crop growth.
In this discussion, we will pull back the curtain on the complex process of product labeling, shedding light, not just on what labels tell you, but also on what they don't tell you, and why.
