The Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast for 4/5/25

On this week’s edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs have had a major impact on soybean futures and the livestock markets within the first two days of his announcement. You’ll hear from Jackie Ponder from Greenwood, who has recently been elected to the board of the National Pork Producers Council, as she talks about the impact that Trump’s tariffs could have on the U.S. pork industry.

Eric Pfeiffer was on Purdue University’s campus earlier this past week for “Purdue Ag Week”. He chatted with Marnie Schwartkopf, a Purdue senior who’s also president of the Purdue Ag Week Task Force, about the ways they’ve been reaching out to all Purdue students, staff, and faculty to share the importance of agriculture.

Plus, you’ll hear from Ryan DuVall with Harvester Homecoming, as he shares his passion for keeping the history of International Harvester alive in Fort Wayne. He not only talks about the company’s 60-year history of manufacturing in Fort Wayne, but he also talks about how his love for International Harvester started with the Scout, which was the first vehicle he owned and drove when he was 16!

All that and much more are all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!
