Non-Ag Thoughts on Ag and Food, Part #2 (#54)
Agriculture does a great job of producing safe, affordable food. But with the vast majority of the consumers being so far removed from food production, how does the consumer know the quality and safety of their food?
And, with the “distance” between the producer and the consumer, how does the producer know what the consumer expects?
In this episode, we are talking with Brad Pitcher, PhD, Industrial Organizational Psychologist, about his thoughts on agriculture and food.
We don’t just ask Brad his thoughts on ag and food, but we offer him the opportunity to ask questions that he has about ag and food.
Join us for Part #2 of this very enlightening conversation.

AI – The Pros and the Pitfalls with Paul Schrimpf, Part #1 (#50)
We are excited about this episode as we talk with Paul Schrimpf, an industry stalwart in ag technology media.
Paul and I were talking about how he had been dipping his toe in using AI and how others in business were being told that they had to use AI.
We decided that the actual use of AI in both scenarios would be a great topic to discuss for our listeners.
In this first episode, we talk about the “early years” of ag technology and how Paul has learned and seen the development of ag technologies and his objective to make ag technology be just agriculture.
