S10 E13: When Fertilizer Turns Toxic with Julie Lay

Old Fashioned On Purpose

Today I'm uncovering the toxic story behind what folks want us to think is a harmless fertilizer.

I'm talking with Julie Lay. Julie has a BS in Animal Science from Auburn University and until 2020 spent her entire career working in the food safety industry, which you could argue she’s still doing, but in a very different way, today.
