// Notable Quotes
" I coined a term called biological crop steering and it's using practices similar to agronomy where you use timing, placement and the amount of what you put. "
" The problem with alternaria is that since it has a wider range of species that it infects and it can jump from different species, it's harder to deal with because it's not just cannabis associated. "
