+farmOS includes some default CSV importers with standard templates, but
+sometimes you need something more custom. If you want to be able to import an
+existing CSV with different headers, or go beyond what the default importers can
+do, that is possible in a custom module. farmOS leverages Drupal's Migrate API
+to enable complex ETL (extract, transform, and load) logic and process
+pipelines. In this video we explain the basic concepts by walking through the
+process of creating a simple custom importer.
+
+This video was recorded during the weekly farmOS dev call on March 21st, 2024.
