In this episode of CropTalk, we conclude the Future Leafy Leaders of CEA series with Jonah Helmer, Director of Growing at Campo Caribe in Puerto Rico. Jonah shares his path from early hydroponic work at Cornell to leading a deep water culture operation in a tropical climate that requires careful management and consistent decision making. We explore what it takes to balance high humidity, strong sunlight, and disease pressure while maintaining steady production and reliable systems. Jonah breaks down the lessons that come from operating a retractable roof greenhouse, preventing root issues, training new growers, and applying classroom knowledge in real production environments. A grounded, practical conversation on how environmental awareness, collaboration, and continuous learning shape the next generation of CEA leadership.
