#217 - The Future Is Already In The Truck

Daniel Overton is 25 and already has 8 years in irrigation. He works for Ricci's Landscape Management in northwest Indiana, listens to the podcast, and reached out to me back in July. We've stayed in touch, I sent him a soil moisture sensor to experiment with, and I wanted to get him on the show to hear what he's seeing in the field.

We talk about learning the trade, the hardest parts of being an irrigation technician, and why your troubleshooting process matters more than the tools you carry.

I'm curious what keeps people like Daniel excited about this work, what technology they see coming, and what they wish the industry would do differently. There's a lot we can learn by asking the younger people already doing the job.
