If that field wasn't planted, hey, guess what? You need to go get it planted. If the cows were bellowing at you, guess what? You got to feed the cows. And all of that meant I had to start keeping track of what I needed to do, because growing up on a farm, if you wanted to know what to do, what did you do? You walked outside and you could see it. And over time, I found out that I had a lot of stuff I was trying to do in the world of tech, in the world of agriculture, data was a huge deal for us there. So just going to say that as somebody who was on the inside of that, we'll go there. Your opinions of the ag chemical company space, I will probably agree with you if you have strong opinions about it. And that was my foray, my beginning into tech, which then led me to doing seed research in the world of agriculture, which then had me in corporate ag, in the largest ag chemical company in the world. Come on, this has been around for a while. Well, that's all fine, but when I was nine, 10 years old, we had self-driving tractors. And we talk about self-driving cars and such today. And I found out very quickly, that technology is a very big deal in ag. They've only gotten bigger since I left the area, but I went into agriculture because it's what I grew up with. And it was a 4,000 acre farm, which to me, I thought was very small, because there were guys is in our area that we're farming 12,000 acres, 24,000 acres. It's fascinating to me that you talk about growing up on a farm, because I did as well. What did your journey look like? How did that play out for you? And we were the only family that we knew about, that did those things. So even though we were in corn fields or near corn fields outside of my house, we'd build computers and used tech. We were talking about our stories growing up and I told you that even though I grew up in a pretty rural environment, both of my parents actually had jobs in technology. He's ran and runs the Bookworm Podcast with Mike Schmitz, and is also the IT director of his church. He's written some pretty great OmniFocus scripts. Joe's been a part of the Omni community for years. Just like Bueller, but IG instead of ER, that's how I explain it.

Welcome to another episode of the Omni Show. And today we talk to Joe Buhlig about how he uses OmniFocus to stay productive. You're listening to the Omni Show, get to know the people and stories behind the Omni group's award-winning productivity apps, for Mac and iOS.
