Like BCS in Italy, the mission of BCS America is to increase your productivity and reduce the physical effort required to accomplish your outdoor tasks, projects, and farm work.

What a delight—and if you’ve talked to Ray before or met him in person, you know exactly what I mean—to have Ray Tyler of Rose Creek Farms on the podcast. He has been such an inspiration and lettuce-growing-mentor for myself and so many others. He’s shared his story and methods on several podcasts before, so we get into what’s new around Rose Creek Farms, family first farming decision making, and the challenges/solutions of growing high-value greens in the Deep South. Check back later in the week for a Best of// Rose Creek Farms.
