For over 230 episodes of Agbioscience, Mitch Frazier has helped share the stories of leaders and innovators across food, animal health, plant science, agtech and agriculture. One story we’ve not told, though, is that of the storyteller, himself. Today we close a chapter on this podcast and with all love, turn our pages forward to what lies next.

  • Mitch’s vision as a leader and why he chose growth as a focus for AgriNovus 
  • The importance of creating the conditions for industry to grow 
  • Seizing the opportunity – and which of those opportunities agbioscience should be looking to in the years to come 
  • The power of a small team to drive outcomes 
  • His favorite part about hosting more than 230 episodes of the podcast 
  • Learning from some of Indiana’s best and bright leaders while in agbioscience – and what lessons he plans to take with him
