The Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast for 6/14/25

On this edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: Pitching Indiana as a possible home for more USDA employees was one reason why several Indiana ag leaders traveled to Washington, D.C. on Thursday to meet with U.S. Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, as USDA considers moving many of its operations out of the nation’s capital.

Imagine getting seven inches of rain in just less than two hours! That’s what happened last weekend to Brady Bishop, who farms in Washington County. He tells Hoosier Ag Today that luckily, the flood damage to his crops isn’t widespread. However, it has caused further delays in finishing planting for the year.

And, this coming week is the 96th Indiana FFA State Convention at Purdue University in West Lafayette! You’ll hear from Indiana FFA President Ethan Wolheter as he previews the upcoming convention.

Plus, Chief Meteorologist Ryan Martin has your Indiana Farm Forecast. Also, Brian Basting explains why soybeans and wheat prices were sharply higher on Friday. That’s all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!
