In 2021 we were invited to participate in an episode of The Vegetable Beet podcast on the Great Lakes Vegetable Producer’s Network. As well as providing excellent agronomic information for vegetable producers, the hosts and producers were talented entertainers. Many of their episodes end with a mock sponsor reel that rivals Saturday Night Live. We were asked if we would like to collaborate on one of the sponsor reels. What a question.
Michiganders they may be, but they’re as big a group of hockey fans as any Canadian. Since then the podcast was discontinued, but you can still give a listen to our spoof sponsor reel “Spring Sprayer Startup on Centre Ice”.
