In agriculture, partnerships between farmers and industry are built on trust and reliability. Meghan Grebner, Brownfield Ag Network, visits the AGI Yard at Commodity Classic to host conversations with U.S. farmers and their commodity associations about the “Power of Partnerships” with AGI and the opportunities and challenges ahead in farmyards across the Midwest.
Kevin Kalb, Dubois, Indiana – a nationally-recognized recipient of the National Corn Grower Association’s highest honors – talks about the challenge of growing some of the nation’s highest-yielding corn on the family’s multi-generational crop and turkey farm. Along with farming, he discusses helping other farmers grow crops with fewer inputs through the Midwest Advanced Crop Consulting (MACC) and the power of partnering with AGI and other ag companies to educate consumers about farm realities through the hit reality show, Live to Farm featured on Discovery Channel, RFD-TV, Acres-TV and YouTube.
