Show Notes
Ed Ebert is the Senior Director of Grain Production and Utilization with the Indiana Corn Marketing Council and the Indiana Soybean Alliance. He joins me to explain how the corn and soybean check off program works and what the organizations do to promote our crops. We discuss the challenges and opportunities facing corn and soybean farmers and the industry in general. Ed tells us why seven dollar corn was bad for American farmers and why the trade dispute with China created new relationships for the U.S. We cover lots of topics you'll enjoy — biofuels, plant-based meat, corn and soy based plastic packaging, and the threat posed by countries like Brazil and Ukraine.
