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"
