Corn prices hit a 4-year low in Q3, on the prospect of a record harvest. That data follows research and insights from USDA that expects net farm income to be down 25% year over year. One solution to this challenge is innovation. Tim Hassinger, CEO of Intelinair, joins today to share perspective on the market and innovation's role in driving net farm income and operational efficiency. Agriculture is a cyclical business and the industry is certainly going through it now. Tim talks managing today for how you want to come out of this economic turbulence, what he hears from farmer customers (hint: it's realism) and how innovators should be operating for success. Where is Intelinair finding their success? Fresh off winning AgTech Data Analytics Company of the Year at the AgTech Breakthrough Awards, Tim talks growing and scaling their business and their continued pursuit of adding tools to their suite that help the farmer make better decisions and – ultimately – save money. How does the former leader of Dow AgroSciences and Lindsay Corporation feel about his time as CEO of Intelinair? Tim talks about new challenges, adjusting his mindset to meet the needs of the business and what has him excited as he looks to the future.

Canadians have continued to move further and further away from food production. We can see this in our expanding urban centers and less individuals growing the food we consume. This has led to more discussions about consuming food that is more sustainable. Not only sustainable environmentally, but also economically and socially. The Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan, was tasked in 2022 with understanding agriculture's contributions to improved sustainable outcomes. As a part of this, GIFS has examined the carbon footprint of agricultural production in Saskatchewan and Canada and compared that to other producers across the globe. Dr. Steve Webb, who is the CEO of the Global Institute for Food Security in Saskatoon SK walks through how we're doing growing cereals, pulses and oilseeds based on the latest research. Host: Clinton Monchuk  Clinton Monchuk grew up on a mixed dairy, beef and grain family farm outside of Lanigan, Saskatchewan. He received his Bachelor's of Science in Agriculture majoring in Agricultural Economics from the University of Saskatchewan and Masters of Business Administration in Agriculture from the University of Guelph. Clinton has enjoyed numerous roles across Canada, the United States and Mexico as a researcher, educator, manager, economist and director of trade policy.   In 2016, Clinton accepted the role of Executive Director with Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan to promote farming and ranching to consumers. Clinton understands the value of increasing public trust in agriculture and actively promotes engagement between the agriculture industry and consumers.   Clinton, Laura and their children Jackson and Katelyn, are active partners on their family grain and layer farm in Saskatchewan and cattle ranch in Oklahoma.Guest: Dr. Steven WebbSteven joined the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) as Chief Executive Officer in 2019, following a 23-year career with Corteva Agriscience (formerly Dow AgroSciences) in Indiana, United States.

According to Capital Market's database, Pitchbook, more than 100 agtech companies were acquired in 2022 and this year is on pace to top that total. The market isn't far from historic levels, but the question remains: is 2023 the year that agtech consolidation accelerates? On the heels of their own acquisition, Intelinair CEO Tim Hassinger joins us to talk the agbioscience's biggest hurdles, how those are driving innovation and introducing a new wave of talent to the sector. He also gets into Intelinair's recent acquisition of Aker Technologies, the winner of AgriNovus' 2022 Producer-Led Innovation Challenge and what they bring to the company's technology platform. As agriculture moves through another cycle, what opportunities lie ahead for agtech and this new wave of innovation potentially being equally balanced between quality of product and farmer adoption rate.  Read more about Intelinair's acquisition of Aker Technologies here.

Success after stroke relies a lot on community. That's the case with today's guest Hub Miller. It's a story of knowing the FAST/BEFAST warning  signs of stroke because people talk about it. And it's a story of going through the worst moments of your life only to find yourself surrounded by loving family members and friends ready to share their strength with you. You can listen to Hub's story here. If you don't see the audio player, click here to listen to the conversation.   Click here for a machine-generated transcript Who is Hub Miller? Hub graduated from Mississippi State University with an MS in Agronomy in 2005. Since then, he's built a career in agricultural science, helping farmers produce bigger and more reliable crops. Throughout the years, he's worked for an assortment of high tech agriculture companies, including, Dow Agrosciences, Corteva Agriscience, and Miller Entomological Service. In January of 2023, Hub took a new role as Vice President of Teleos Ag Solutions In the Spring of 2021, Hub experienced a massive stroke brought on by high blood pressure. With the support of his family and friend, he's staged an amazing comeback. You can connect with Hub via LinkedIn. BE FAST Speed is essential to reducing long-term disability after stroke. That's why it is so important to spot the signs. The BE FAST acronym can help you spot most stroke. A person may be experiencing a stroke if they have: B – a sudden loss of or change in balance E – a sudden change in or loss of eyesight or vision F – single side face droop A – in ability to hold both arms up S – loss of or change in speech, vocabulary, or ability to process language T – Any of this means it is time to call an ambulance BE FAST = Balance, Eyes, Face, Arms, Speech, Time to call an ambulance. Down load this graphic and share it with everyone you know. If you know people who speak Spanish, Dr. Remle Crowe helped develop an equivalent acronym in Spanish -- AHORA. Let's look at a translation. Letter Abbreviation for Spanish Description In English A Andar Tiene dificultad para andar? Tiene problemas con el equilibrio? Do they have difficulty walking? Do they have problems with balance? H Hablar Tiene dificultad para hablar o entender? Usa palabras que no tienen sentido? Do they have difficulty speaking or understanding language? Do they use words that don't make sense? O Ojos Tiene algün cambio de vista? Tiene visiön doble? Tiene dificultad para ver con ambos ojos? Do they have some change in vision? Do they have double vision? Do they have difficulty seeing with both eyes? R Rostro Tiene la mitad del rostro caido? Tiene un repentino dolor de cabeza como nunca se ha sentido? Do they have one-sided facial droop? Do they suddenly have the worst headache of their life? A Ambos Brazos Tiene dificultad para levantar un brazo o una pierna? Tiene debilidad en un brazo o una pierna? Do they have difficulty lifting an arm or a leg? Do they have weakness in an rm or a leg? High Blood Pressure One of the main causes of stroke is high blood pressure. It's a topic we discuss a lot. It caused Hub's stroke, and it caused my stroke. The American Heart Association recommends a blood pressure of 120/80. Inexpensive blood pressure monitors are available online. Check yours and speak with your doctor if you are not in the target range.  I talked about how high blood pressure causes stroke with Neuro-interventionist and surgeon Dr. Nirav H. Shaw in this episode: https://strokecast.com/bloodpressure If you don't have a home blood pressure meter, you should probably fix that. You can find them at your local pharmacy, Costco, large grocery store, and on Amazon at this link.* Survey Do you have thoughts about the Strokecast as a show? I want to hear about it. Please complete the listener survey at http://Strokecast.com/survey by March 31, 2023 to share your insight. I'd realy appreciate it. Hack of the Week Hub recommends yoga. Yoga has strong meditative qualities, and he has found it helpful in his recovery. Yoga and meditation are themes that come up from lots of guests. Breathing, movement, stretches, and focusing the mind can help quite the noise of the outside world and service our bodies as the brain relearns how to operate our limbs. Around the country and around the world, we are seeing more opportunities for disabled yoga or chair yoga. Practitioners are modifying positions and techniques so folks with physical limitations can still safely reap the benefits of this ancient tradition. Look around your community for disability-friendly yoga if the idea appeals to you. And speaking of community, Hub has also found a lot of value in local stroke support groups. These groups give folks an opportunity to connect in person or online and share experiences, stories, and local resources to provide a much needed connection.

GES Colloquium - Tuesdays 12-1PM, Poe 202, NC State University GES Mediasite - Video w/slides https://go.ncsu.edu/ges-mediasite More info at http://go.ncsu.edu/ges-colloquium | Twitter -https://twitter.com/GESCenterNCSU The Ag Biotechnology Landscape has changed markedly from the 1980’s. In certain ways, however, the calendar can be argued to have cycled back on itself. Back then lab scientists and entrepreneurs were wildly optimistic about deployment. Some early applications of rDNA technology did move from the lab to the open environment, but not without challenges and controversy. Yet many applications never successfully passed over the threshold of the laboratory. Time moved faster than did the development of either technical, regulatory or societal solutions and startups faltered or were acquired. What constituted potential deployment areas constricted to just a few commercial opportunities, and large scale deployment shifted significantly to the purview of long-established corporations. Recent advances in genome reading, editing, or writing, plus those in the various biome technologies and new computational approaches to biology have together resuscitated interest in ag and environmental innovation. While corporate entities are consolidating, the startup ecosystem is thriving. So what learnings have we propagated to a new generation of technology developers, regulators and to society at large? If you are under 25 years of age you have never lived in a world without field deployed biotech crops. Or their controversies. With the renewed interest in deploying ag biotech products made by these newer technologies, have we partnered better this time with diverse stakeholders? Or are we setting up simply to re-plow the same ground? Speaker Bio Steven L. Evans spent 30 years bringing biotechnology products to the field in small and large companies. His research focused on biochemistry and recombinant protein expression in ag and environmental biotech. At Mycogen and Dow AgroSciences he developed native and recombinant biopesticides, natural products, and plant genome editing technology. Steve retired as a Fellow from Dow AgroSciences (now Corteva Agriscience) and founded Re-Knowvate LLC. His passion is to use this historical experience and repurpose it today in organizations driving 21st century biotechnology so that they may learn from the actions of the early pioneers in applied biotechnology, thus accelerating their ability to develop and deploy new technologies to benefit our world. Steve has been active in public-private partnerships (NSF SynBERC and the Engineering Biology Research Consortium (EBRC)) as well as serving on the NAS Future Products of Biotechnology and the NAS Safeguarding the Bioeconomy studies. He received his BA (chemistry) and BS (microbiology) from the Univ. of Mississippi and a PhD in microbial physiology from the Univ. of Mississippi Medical School. He was an NIH postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley and with the USDA in Peoria, IL.
