The Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast for 2/1/25

  • January 31, 2025 11:30 pm|

On this edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: A positive test for the Bird Flu virus at the Rose Acre Farm egg production facility near Seymour made national headlines this past week. The facility, which housed 2.8 million birds, will be shut down as the flock will be depopulated. C.J. Miller reports that the eggs and poultry products that are on your grocery store shelves are still safe for you and your family to eat.

Eric Pfeiffer also chats with State Rep. Kendell Culp, who has introduced 15 bills that relate to agriculture. The legislation includes property taxes and tax credits for retiring farmers that Governor Mike Braun mentioned in his State of the State Address on Wednesday evening.

And a top prize of $100,000 is what the folks from an Indiana-based agtech company brought home after winning the Ag Innovation Challenge during Farm Bureau’s annual convention earlier this week in San Antonio! You’ll hear from the Co-founder and CEO of Gripp and he talks about his company and the services they provide to farmers.

We’ll feature these stories—plus, Brian Basting with Advance Trading joins us to review Friday’s grain markets. It's all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!

  • January 27, 2025 4:00 am|

Much has changed in agbioscience over the last three decades. We’ve seen the introduction of gene editing technologies, new digital capabilities, even autonomy. One leader has had a front-row seat to these innovations. He’ll soon retire, but joins us today to share perspective on where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Dan Dawes, Senior Director of Strategy and Growth at AgriNovus joins us to talk about his career and the highlight reel of groundbreaking innovations in agbioscience. We get into:  


  • What has kept Dan in agbioscience all these years, his connectivity to the farm and wanting others to feel the same sense of reward that he did.  
  • The macro perspective and many cycles of the agbioscience economy – it's down for now, but it’s never forever. 
  • What innovations excited Dan the most throughout his decades long career; but also, which ones did he not see coming? 
  • Indiana’s unfair advantage – its people. 
  • Dan’s biggest lessons in leadership, giving those you’re leading a map to success and the criticality in finding joy in the work that you do. 
  • Finding a mentor as a guide to growing in your career – and beyond – and an update on what’s ahead for Dan.
