WHAT ATTENDEES HAVE SAID:

"Enthusiasm combined with great knowledge"

"Pragmatic and practical approach"
​
"Enthusiasm... knowledge... confidence... eloquence..."

"Personable.  Flexible re: questions from us.  Able to translate scientific terms into layman's words"
​

"Joel's infectious enthusiasm for soil management invites us to look at making practical experimental changes in our own fields, to look at our work holistically & to build soil C using a variety of strategies.  One-size definitely doesn't fit all & the benefit of this course has been opening my eyes to the 'anything is possible' approach championed by Joel"
