I'm still fascinated with airplanes and when I found out today's guests combine both aviation AND agriculture, I just had to have them on. Tyson and Cally are the two adventurous people behind Ag Aviation Adventures. Through social media outlets like YouTube and Instagram, Tyson and Cally document the behind the scenes workings of crop dusting, their daily schedule, and also educate consumers on how spraying effects crops. Their videos are super informative and take viewers inside the cockpit with Tyson as he talks about various agriculture topics during his spraying route. This is a great conversation with Tyson and Cally and I highly suggest you check out their YouTube and other content.

My favorite topic, GMOs! Today we talk with Michael Stebbins of GMO Answers. GMO Answers is a fantastic website that thoroughly explains the science and research behind GMOs. Michael will explain the GMOs available today and how several government agencies like the USDA, FDA, and EPA all have regulations in place to ensure GMOs are not only safe for consumption but also safe for the environment. What better way to learn about GMOs than from the experts behind them (aka not listening to an anti-GMO person who only gets their "facts" from health blogs or Wikipedia).

Our guest today is Jim Blome, CEO of Calyxt. Calyxt is a plant-based technology company that is working on developing plants to not only be healthier for consumers, but also healthier for the planet. Through gene-editing, scientists at Calyxt are able to create plants with healthier oil levels, completely remove trans fats, and create crops with higher yields. In our interview today, Jim will explain the work going on at Calyxt, how gene-editing differs from genetic modification (GMOs), where their technology fits in with the organic vs traditional agriculture debate, and how they are able to remove unhealthy fats from foods.
