Our senior creative producer is William Warren, and our senior development producer is Rory Galloway.

Our producer is Ann Hannah and assistant producer Kunal Patel, with extra production help this week from Eleanor Sly and Katie Peterson.

We'll all see you back here tomorrow for the Weekend Intelligence.

This week, we return to the curious case of the gay penguins.

And I want to provide as much detail as we can.

So going back to February, March of this year, I had my first conversation with Alex and Katie Peterson.

So Alex is the attorney, Katie's his wife.

She basically runs the firm and he's the lawyer that runs the legal side of the firm.

I love that example because I do think it's true.

It's something that's been a lesson that I have had to learn as someone who is a late bloomer, who is 45 years old and still trying to figure it all out in life.

But I do think that it is.

is true among myself and a lot of people I've spoken to that when you are thinking through different issues that one has anxiety, depression, you know what I mean? Like trauma that has happened to you and you create these coping mechanisms, these defense mechanisms to be able to achieve something or other, that's a goal you set out.

occurred to me.

So I... feel that I come across people in my profession of recruitment, even before I was recruiting other recruiters.

But especially what I'm doing now as a REC2REC, because it's the only time when like I'm recruiting someone, but we're peers, right? We both do the same thing.

So it's a very different kind of relationship that we're able or bond we're able to form.

That is part of our routine.

And someone listening is thinking, Katie, you made a rule about which door your children can enter.

And my answer is absolutely I did.

And you know what? It's because our back door is set up for people to come in.

Today we'll be discussing research from the Public Policy Institute of California, analyzing SGMA-ready crops, which are low-water winter grains and forages that would keep some farmland productive while using much less water.

I'm joined today by Katie Peterson, Associate Center Director and Research Fellow, and Brad Franklin, Research Fellow with PPIC, Thank you, Katie and Brad, for joining the Maddie Report today.

Really appreciate you being on the program.

Happy

And in that case, we found that having a Sigma ready crop in the ground doesn't really get in the way of recharge.

So it's almost as though you might as well have something there rather than letting that water go back into the atmosphere to no purpose.

We're talking with Katie Peterson and Brad Franklin with the Public Policy Institute of California.

Thank you both for joining us again.
