Oftentimes soil health practices may be thought of as “one more thing” to incorporate on the farm. But in this episode, producer Matt tells us that it would be very difficult for him to farm as much land as he does without soil health practices in play.In fact, soil health practices are what allowed his farm to grow significantly over his career which started in 1988 on just 400 acres. Matt farms with his wife and three sons in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas in the United States. They grow corn, wheat, soybean and cotton on over 20,000 acres and have a black angus cow herd. They utilize soil health practices like no-till, cover crops and terracing to manage their system in their hot and dry climate. We are also joined by Craig Abell who serves as Syngenta's national executive grower agronomist. Craig has been with Syngenta for 33 years and works with large growers who often farm in multiple states in the US. “ A lot of our growth has been with either families that have wanted to invest in land, institutional investors, or farm management companies. And they came to us because we're no-till. They will not let other people operate their land unless they are no-till regenerative and taking care of the soil and improving it.” - MattAs farmers look to improve their operations, many are turning to soil health practices. Craig shares that tools like cropwise imagery and cropwise financials allow producers to monitor successful practices to further understand the impact they are having on yield outcome.This Week on Soil Sense:Meet Matt, a producer working over 20,000 acres in northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas, and Craig Abell who serves as Syngenta's national executive grower agronomistExplore how economics drove Matt to incorporate soil health practices into his operation and the many benefits he has experienced through their useDiscover the analytics being used to precisely calibrate rates of seeding and inputs for the best yield outcomes across large operations
Trends can be predicted, and trends can unfold. Here, Liz Beatty – co-founder and chief strategy of Inato – speaks to the beginnings of a new era in drug development brought on by key technological advances in AI. Historically, large urban academic centres have conducted the majority of clinical trials, leading to such issues as inaccessibility, lack of representation, and intense competition for participants. With growing industry pressure for greater trial access, a more focused effort to bring research into communities is unfolding. At the same time, there seems little that AI can't be applied to so as to ameliorate speed and efficacy, and also specificity – and Beatty expands on these points and more.

In Episode 17 of Constructing With Care, host Leslie Tullio welcomes back Sarah Francis (Enterprise AVP of Standards and Activation at Advocate Health), Jeff Schroeder (AVP of Planning, Design & Construction at Atrium Health), and Sean Ashcroft (Healthcare Core Market Leader at DPR Construction) for a deep dive into the impact of standardization in healthcare construction.

Key Topics Covered: [00:01:00] Why standardization matters: benefits across efficiency, training, and care consistency [00:02:00] Lessons from Advocate Health's multi-year implementation journey [00:03:00] The importance of mindset, tenacity, and leadership in driving change [00:04:00] Creating collaborative spaces for innovation and shared ownership [00:06:00] How prefabrication evolves and improves over time [00:07:30] Gaining trade partner buy-in and building budget alignment [00:08:30] How standardization reduces labor risk and increases construction reliability [00:10:00] Advocating from within: Sarah Francis on internal evangelism and enterprise adoption [00:11:00] Clinical and operational benefits of standardization.

On 8 May 2025, the European Commission launched a public consultation to review the Merger Guidelines. In this episode, our host Jenn Mellott speaks with Daniele Calisti, Head of the Mergers Case Support and Policy Unit at DG Competition, who is leading the consultation process. They are joined by David Foster, Director at Frontier Economics, and fellow antitrust partner Thomas Janssens, to explore what changes may be coming – particularly around efficiencies and innovation. While much of what the Commission sets out in the papers released alongside the consultation appears to formalise existing practice, some elements go further and are more novel (e.g., the effects on labour market, economic resilience, environmental sustainability, and broader societal impact of mergers). If the promises of the Draghi Report on innovation and growth in Europe are to be given some weight, the new guidelines should provide clear and explicit direction – particularly in articulating how they envisage a more open and flexible approach to parties demonstrating procompetitive efficiencies. In the podcast, Daniele Calisti highlights two areas where the Commission is particularly keen to receive feedback—drawing on available economic evidence and real-world experience across industries—on how to assess efficiencies. The first is the idea that efficiencies may be more likely to arise when the merging firms' activities are complementary. The second relates to the challenge of evaluating asymmetries between alleged harm and claimed efficiencies, including differences in how and when they materialise. For more on the Commission's evolving thinking you can read our recent blog: Time to catch up: EU reopens the rulebook on mergers and seeks feedback. Please feel free to reach out to your regular Freshfields contacts if you'd like to contribute to the consultation.

We're talking about how to shorten your time at the tailgate or the trunk. Just get your waders on, your boots laced, and get to the river. It should be as simple as that, but it's not uncommon for anglers to waste a half hour or more just getting ready to go fishing.Most anglers hate this wasted time. In fact, all of this preparation just to go fishing puts a lot of anglers off in the first place. And the colder it is, or the longer you plan to be out there fishing, or the more tactics you plan to use the more all of this pre-trip prep is required.We want a system for minimizing the time between cutting the car engine to walking away from the vehicle with our fly rod in hand.Basically, we all just want to go fishing.

Andy Crestodina is the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Orbit Media Studios, an award-winning digital agency. With 23 years of experience in analytics, SEO, content strategy, and website optimization, he is regarded as a leading expert in the marketing industry. Andy has written over 500 articles on content strategy, SEO, AI, social media, and analytics and is the author of Content Chemistry. In this episode… Marketers and e-commerce business owners leverage AI mainly for content creation purposes — something customers can accomplish easily themselves. How can you differentiate your brand with innovative, AI-driven content? Rather than developing a prompt to write articles or PDPs, marketer and AI prompt engineer Andy Crestodina recommends having AI analyze a webpage, PDP, or other body of work to identify missing components. This may involve creating prompts detailing whether a PDP meets industry best practices, identifying how to enhance a web page to drive conversions, or determining whether the content meets audience expectations. To take it a step further, you can train the AI to generate ideal customer personas that can influence CTAs, landing pages, and other consumer-facing content. Tune in to this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast as William Harris chats with Andy Crestodina, the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Orbit Media Studios, about revolutionizing AI for CRO. Andy talks about increasing search rankings with AI-driven analytics platforms, how AI will alter internet searches, and AI's potential beyond e-commerce content creation.
