He spent twelve years building a coaching practice after leaving a career in farm equipment sales and mechanics, scouting fields fourteen to sixteen hours a day through the growing season and often forgetting half of what he found by the time he got home. Dan sits down with him to trace that career, from working a family farm as a kid through the precision-ag coaching network that shaped how he thinks about agronomy, to the moment his grandson mentioned AI at a rodeo and he decided he was too close to retirement to bother. He didn't retire. He now runs thirteen AI agents built around his own operation, one of which checks the work of the other twelve, and walks through exactly how he built the hierarchy live on the call. The tension is that his own grandchildren were taught AI would ruin the world, and watching what their grandfather built with it is what started changing their minds. Producers walk away with a plain description of how one agronomist actually structured a working agent team, and his own answer to why he bothered doing it at 67 instead of coasting to retirement."}
