Here’s what really gets me: Howard isn’t flashy. He drives a beat-up pickup truck. He wears plain jeans.
He could be buying yachts. Instead, he buys soil sensors. He’s more excited about a new irrigation system than a private jet.
And he gives away billions. But not to museums or opera houses. He gives it to farmers in Haiti who need drought-resistant seeds. That’s his idea of a good time.
The Legacy Thing
People ask, “Is he trying to outdo his dad?” Probably not. That’s impossible.
Howard is building his own legacy. It’s not about money; it’s about soil carbon. It’s about showing that one guy with a crowdfunding mindset and a huge checkbook can shift how the world eats.
