This is part two of our visit to Uncle Matt’s Organics in Clermont, FL.  Benny McLean is Matt & Ben’s father and got into the citrus business with his father. He talks to us about that history and some of the hardships and lessons learned along the way. He is the Head of Production with Uncle Matt’s. Ben McLean, Head of Research at Uncle Matt’s, then brings us up to today on the agronomy behind growing citrus. He has taken those lessons learned from his father and grandfather to continue to improve the quality of fruit and potential disease resistance. Uncle Matt’s is a story of perseverance and thank you to Matt, Benny and Ben for sharing. This episode is brought to you by Byron Seeds.
