Andrew Focht owns and operates Paylly Farms in southwestern Iowa. He has strong roots in farming and soil health, beginning his career with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and farming with his family for nearly two decades before striking out on his own about three years ago.
Two years ago, Andrew joined Total Acre, a program where hundreds of progressive growers around the country learn about implementing calculated best practices that maximize ROI. This segued into joining Frontier Fields, a docuseries following six farmers who provide their insights and observations as they trial Mosaic biologicals throughout the year.
When Andrew isn’t farming, co-hosting his podcast or crunching numbers, he enjoys spending time with his wife Karla, and their two children, Lilly and Payton.
