Imagine having input pricing information, lending options, and more all in one place where you can compare what is best for you and your operation. Well that's where the Farmer Business Network (FBN) comes in. Charles Baron, the co-founder of the Farmer Business Network, says their integrated technology, market access, and data-driven solutions empower farmers with transparency, control, and enhanced profitability in their operations.  "At FBN, our mission is rooted in addressing the challenges faced by farmers, notably the lack of market information and opaque pricing structures," explains Baron. "We aim to provide a comprehensive platform where farmers can access inputs, lending options, analytics, grain sales, premium programs, and more, fostering a thriving community."

Find out how Calgary is leading the agribusiness revolution: www.CalgaryAgbusiness.comNorm: https://www.fbn.com/norm Farmers Business Network: https://www.fbn.com/Today's episode features Kit Barron and Charles Baron of Farmers Business Network. However, today's episode is not about Kit or Charles as much as it is about Norm, FBN's AI-powered Ag advisor tool that they launched just weeks ago, but already has me fascinated about the potential impact on the future of agriculture. Charles has been on the podcast before, but it was clear back on episode 75, which aired in October of 2017. In that episode he provided a lot of the basics of Farmers Business Network which was founded in 2014, and is best known as a farmer-to-farmer network and e-commerce platform. Kit Barron has worked with farm data for a very long time with familiar names such as The Climate Corporation and FarmTogether. He now serves as the Head of Data Science and Analytics for FBN. Charles, Kit and I talk a lot about Norm, the potential for artificial intelligence to provide useful advice for farmers, and what this means for agtech in the future. Like do we need API's for example as data pipelines if we can train AI's to go get the data we need. It really presents a lot of interesting questions about the future of agriculture. Questions Norm and others will someday be able to answer. Be sure to stick around for the end of today's episode where you'll hear Kit, Charles and I come up with the idea to have Norm write a script for a potential intro to this podcast episode, then I give that script to another AI tool called Descript which generates an audio of that script in my voice. I'll be honest it's a little spooky what's possible, so stay tuned for that. To kick things off though, Charles is going to provide a little catch up since our last interview nearly six years ago. Then you'll hear Kit's voice describing more about Norm specifically.

Pour ce douzième épisode de la saison 2, je reçois Sarah Maisonneuve. Sarah est Directrice-adjointe des Ateliers du Bocage. En entendant le nom, on se dit qu'on doit être loin du numérique. Alors oui, c'est un épisode surprenant, avec une structure inhabituelle, mais vous allez voir, nous sommes en plein dans le sujet. Et on a abordé des sujets inhabituels, ou tout du moins qu'on n'attendait pas du tout dans l'Octet Vert. ET C'EST BIEN !!! Les sujets abordés et quand 01:53 — Travailler sur l'environnement, une vocation 03:00 — Comment la maternité de Sarah a renforcé son engagement, comment rester optimiste face à la crise environnementale 4:30 — Être pessimiste, ça ne sert à rien, autant vivre ça joyeusement et surtout dans l'action. Être heureux fait qu'on est plus efficace. 7:24 — Action au niveau personnel : isoler la maison, chauffage, ventilation, réduction des déchets. L'utilisation d'une cup pour les règles à la place des serviettes hygiéniques. 10:36 — Le travail de Sarah : les Ateliers du Bocage ! Une entreprise qui œuvre à la fois pour l'environnement, l'économie circulaire et l'humain, en accompagnant des personnes qui sont éloignées de l'emploi. Sarah dirige l'unité de reconditionnement de matériel informatique, y compris les téléphones mobiles, cartouches d'impression. Ces matériels sont collectés puis reconditionnés, les données effacées, avant d'être revendus, de façon à ce que le matériel soit utilisé le plus longtemps possible. C'est la meilleure façon de réduire l'impact environnemental et social de ces matériels numériques. 14:14 — Deuxième volet : l'aspect social, avec création d'emplois en local pour des gens éloignés de l'emploi pour des tas de raisons. "Chez nous, c'est un temps pour reconstruire sa carrière professionnelle". 17:46 — Les autres activités des Ateliers du Bocage, de la menuiserie à la réduction de la fracture numérique. 21:55 — l'inévitable mention du vélo. 23:00 — Le plus grand défi : la rapidité d'action ! 23:51 — La source d'espoir : les mentalités changent vite, le reconditionné est devenu à la mode, par exemple. Spéciale dédicace à Alain Souchon : "On nous fait croire que le bonheur c'est d'avoir de l'avoir plein nos armoires", mais on commence à comprendre qu'avec le recul, les prochaines générations vont nous prendre pour des dingues ! Comment va-t-on appeler ces 100 dernières années de surconsommation ? La grande débauche ? 27:44 — Le mot de la fin : Restons positifs, dans l'action, en mobilisant nos proches vers la frugalité !

Farmer's Business Network is one of the seminal disruptors in agriculture. Founded in 2014 by Charles Baron and Amol Deshpande, FBN's crowdsourced platform has challenged Big Ag companies - conglomerates which sell inputs like seed, fertilizer, and chemicals to farmers - by shedding light on price disparities and lack of transparency in the industry. Today, FBN is valued at more than $4 billion, and backed by Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, and ADM, among others. Charles Baron tells us how the seeds of FBN were planted the first time he visited a farm, when he was in his 20's.

Farmers Business Network is one of the most well-funded startups in agtech.

So, where did it all begin?In this episode, FBN co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Charles Baron, explains how his Silicon Valley upbringing unexpectedly collided with rural Nebraska, resulting in an idea for a new kind of agribusiness- one that would connect farmers and increase their bargaining power for chemicals and seeds.In the eight years since the startup began, FBN has frequently encountered opposition from incumbents due to its push for competition and transparency for input pricing. In this episode, the last in our three-part series, Charles talks about several key factors in the company's success, including:Questioning Silicon Valley's ‘founder obsession' to instead create a ‘farmer-centric' ideologyThe importance of telling your company's story through your own channels (rather than relying on others).How FBN makes decisions about which strategies to pursue, including their Gradable platform and recently announced partnership with ADMThis is the third episode in our “Later-Stage Agtech Startup Lessons” series.

Charles Baron is the Co-Founder of Farmers Business Network, an idea conceived by farmers for farmers. The company aims to gather unbiased and objective information with regards to agronomics and commodities. The idea is to pool available data from individual farmers, so every farmer in their network would benefit from them. The company started three years ago with just 3-4 farms, but through word of mouth and good service, they now have close to 4,700 farms within their network. Charles and his team plan on ultimately expanding his reach outside the U.S. and continue to improve their data interpretation and gathering services.   In this episode, Charles explains the idea behind Food Business Network, what drove him to become a farmer, and the problems farmers face in the U.S. that go unnoticed. He also shares how his company managed to grow their network to what it is now, and their outlook for the future of their company.     “Farmers Business Network exists to bring benefits back to our farmers using our technology and network.”  – Charles Baron     This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:    What problems does Farmers Business Network solve for farmers? Why farmers have the worst economics. The uses of Farmers Business Network in terms of commodity prices. What does the side benefiting from the status quo think of their company's business strategy?

Arrêté à 16 ans, un dimanche de septembre 1942, il subira sept camps différents avant d'arriver à Birkenau (Auschwitz II). Il échoue en Bavière, dans une usine d'armes secrètes, aux conditions de travail "abominables". Il pèse 29 kg à la libération du camp. Charles Baron a tenté, en vain, de raconter l'horreur et l'inhumanité dès son retour en France, sans qu'on l'ait écouté. C'est pourquoi, il souhaite transmettre son expérience auprès des jeunes générations.
