Guest: Shail Khiyara, CEO of SWARM EngineeringHost: Jim Lenz | GEAPS Whole Grain PodcastWhat if one of the biggest challenges facing a grain operation isn't a lack of data — but the gap between having information and knowing what to do with it?Every day, grain professionals make decisions that affect safety, grain quality, throughput, efficiency, and profitability. At the same time, facilities are generating more information, experienced employees are retiring, operations are being asked to do more with less, and technologies such as artificial intelligence are rapidly changing what's possible.But more technology doesn't automatically lead to better decisions.In this episode of the GEAPS Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz talks with Shail Khiyara, CEO of SWARM Engineering, about what happens when artificial intelligence, optimization, operational knowledge, and human decision-making come together.Rather than focusing on artificial intelligence as technology for technology's sake, the conversation explores a much more practical question:How can we make better decisions?Shail shares insights into how organizations can move beyond simply collecting more data and begin using that information to address complex operational challenges. The conversation also examines the growing opportunity to capture and extend the knowledge of experienced employees, evaluate possibilities that may otherwise be difficult to see, and help people make better-informed decisions.In This EpisodeJim and Shail explore:The “decision gap” between having information and knowing what action to takeWhy more data doesn't necessarily create more clarityHow artificial intelligence can support — rather than replace — human decision-makingThe role of optimization in solving complex operational problemsThe importance of capturing and extending the knowledge of experienced operatorsHow organizations can move beyond dashboards and turn information into actionThe potential implications for grain quality, throughput, efficiency, maintenance, safety, and profitabilityWhy successful adoption of new technology ultimately needs to connect back to real operational problems and decisionsA Question Worth Taking Back to Your FacilityArtificial intelligence continues to generate enormous attention across nearly every industry. But perhaps the most useful place for grain professionals to begin isn't by asking:“What can artificial intelligence do?”Instead, ask:“What decisions could we make better?”That question shifts the conversation away from technology itself and toward the people, processes, challenges, and opportunities inside the operation.And that may be where some of the greatest opportunities begin.Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

The Whole Grain Gap: Benefits, Myths and Easy Ways to Eat More Whole grain recommendations – and the science behind them – have remained remarkably consistent for decades, yet only two percent of Americans are getting enough. In today's wellness and social media landscape, carbohydrates and grain foods are often oversimplified, misunderstood or unfairly vilified. Yet, consumers are actively seeking many of the benefits whole grain foods support, including fiber intake, gut health, cardiometabolic health, satiety, and overall diet quality. This podcast episode explores the disconnect between the perception of grain foods and the reality of what they offer, discussing the science behind recommendations, as well as the challenges people face when it comes to getting the recommended intake. Listeners will learn from nutrition experts on how they can help close the whole grain gap by leveraging insights and accessible strategies. Whether you're looking to understand the latest research or get practical tips for bringing whole grains back into the nutrition conversation (and your diet), this episode delivers evidence-based, real-world tips to transform your approach to whole grains.  Tune in to learn more about:  definition of whole grains and their components health benefits of whole grains including disease risk reduction common misconceptions and confusion about grains how to understand food labeling strategies for increasing whole grain intake in daily life the impact of trends like low-carb and high-protein diets on grain consumption emerging research on gut health and antioxidants in whole grains practical tips for food shopping and meal planning resources for health professionals and the public This episode awards 1.0 Free CPEU in accordance with the Commission on Dietetic Registration's CPEU Prior Approval Program.

Protein percentage is only part of the story when it comes to feeding poultry well. What matters is how protein, amino acids, fats, fiber, and the other components of a diet work together.In this PK360 discussion, Rip Stalvey, Jeff Mattocks, and Carey Blackmon take a deeper look at three major components of poultry diets—protein, fat, and fiber—and explain why simply choosing the feed with the highest protein number may not give your birds what they actually need.We discuss vegetable and animal protein sources, why amino acids such as lysine, methionine, and cysteine matter, and how protein needs change as birds grow and enter production. The conversation also explores fish meal, fiber and gut health, the relationship between fat and fiber, different sources of dietary fat, and some of the practical compromises involved in mash, pellet, and crumble feeds. The discussion emphasizes that protein percentage alone can be misleading when amino-acid balance and total feed intake aren't considered.You'll also hear practical discussion about reading feed tags, feeding chicks and growing birds, breeding-season nutrition, whole grains, oats, feed freshness and storage, and questions from poultry keepers watching the original PK360 LIVE.Use the chapters below to listen from beginning to end or jump directly to the subject you need.Poultry Keepers 360 brings together practical experience and thoughtful poultry education to help poultry keepers better understand their birds and make informed decisions about breeding, management, and nutrition.If you enjoy thoughtful, experience-based poultry information like this, that's what this channel is all about.Chapters & Timestamps0:00 Welcome & What We're Covering1:07 Protein Sources in Poultry Diets3:31 Why Amino Acid Balance Matters5:03 Animal vs. Vegetable Protein9:02 Fish Meal & Sustainable Sources12:13 Fish Meal, Feather Quality & Eggs16:25 Lysine, Methionine & Cysteine19:21 How Much Protein Do Chicks Need?25:07 Protein Needs for Growing Birds26:13 Developer & Layer Feed28:30 Do Some Breeds Need More Protein?29:22 Nutrition for Breeding Stock30:34 Fertrell Sponsor Break31:40 Why Fiber Matters34:31 Fiber, Gut Health & Bird Behavior35:42 Choosing Effective Fiber Sources37:42 Whole Oats & Diet Self-Selection39:00 Balancing Fat and Fiber40:23 Choosing Better Fat Sources41:48 Animal Fat & Shelf Life43:58 Vegetable vs. Animal Fats45:24 What Fat Does for the Bird47:35 Reading Fat & Fiber on Feed Tags49:22 Why Good Fat & Fiber Levels Are Hard to Find51:15 Whole Grains & Feeding Grit52:49 Ergot Risk in Rye53:44 Feed Freshness & Shelf Life56:09 Mash vs. Pellets57:32 Chick Feed & Breeder Supplement58:12 What Is Mash Feed?1:00:23 How Long Does Feed Stay Nutritious?1:00:52 Calcium in Poultry Feed1:03:40 How Long Can Whole Grains Be Stored?1:05:07 Closing ThoughtsJoin our Facebook Groups:Poultry Keepers 360 - -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Poultry Breeders Nutrition - https://www.facebook.com/groups/4908798409211973

What happens after a railcar leaves your facility?For most of us, it's easy to think our responsibility ends once the paperwork is complete, the railcar is loaded, and it's released onto the track.But that's really where the journey begins.That railcar may travel hundreds of miles across the country, passing through neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and communities before reaching its destination. Every switch that's thrown, every inspection that's performed, every wheel that's checked, and every decision that's made at your facility contributes to the safety of everyone along that route.It's a responsibility the grain industry carries every single day.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training for GEAPS, sits down with two respected railroad professionals from Northern Plains Rail Companies—Steven Fry, Assistant Director of Safety, Training & Operating Practices, and Noel Christensen, Superintendent of Training & Operating Practices. Together, they bring more than seven decades of railroad experience to an engaging conversation about the critical role grain facilities play in rail safety.Rather than focusing solely on regulations, this discussion explores the why behind rail safety. You'll hear why routine track inspections matter, what effective track protection really means, where facilities most commonly fall short, and how strong operating practices can prevent incidents before they happen.The conversation also examines how the commodities being shipped can influence regulatory expectations, why understanding railroad operating rules is just as important as knowing your facility's procedures, and how ongoing employee training builds a stronger culture of safety.Whether you're responsible for operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, environmental compliance, transportation, or facility management, you'll leave this episode with practical ideas you can put to work immediately.In this episode, you'll learn: Why every railcar leaving your facility carries a responsibility beyond your property  What effective track inspection should include—and what facilities often overlook  The purpose and importance of track protection  Common rail safety risks found during facility inspections  How different commodities can change regulatory expectations  Why employee training and operating practices are essential to safe rail operations  The habits that distinguish high-performing facilities  Practical "Start, Stop, and Continue" recommendations to strengthen your rail safety program Rail safety isn't simply about compliance.It's about protecting employees.Protecting equipment.Protecting your operation.And protecting every community a railcar passes through after it leaves your facility.Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

What if you could uncover hidden risks, assess facility conditions more accurately, and make smarter maintenance decisions—without disrupting operations?In an industry where safety, reliability, and uptime are critical, understanding the true condition of your facility can be challenging. Many grain facilities contain hard-to-access areas, aging infrastructure, and hidden structural conditions that are difficult to evaluate through traditional inspection methods alone. Yet waiting until problems become visible can lead to increased repair costs, unplanned downtime, and greater operational risk.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training for the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS), sits down with Hayes Guillot, Inspection and Technology Specialist with Custom Concrete Specialists, to explore how modern inspection technologies are transforming the way grain facilities evaluate, maintain, and protect their assets.Drawing on his background in precision agriculture, drone technology, and facility inspections, Hayes explains how today's tools are providing facility owners and operators with unprecedented visibility into the condition of their structures. From interior and exterior drone inspections to ground penetrating radar (GPR), thermal imaging, and LiDAR technology, these solutions allow organizations to safely inspect areas that were once difficult, time-consuming, or costly to assess.Throughout the conversation, Hayes shares how technology is helping facilities identify potential issues earlier, reduce the need for confined-space entry, improve documentation, support data-driven decision-making, and establish a proactive approach to maintenance and capital planning. He also discusses how detailed reports, high-resolution imagery, video documentation, and advanced scanning technologies are helping maintenance teams, managers, engineers, and boards make more informed decisions with greater confidence.Whether you're responsible for operations, maintenance, engineering, safety, asset management, or strategic planning, this episode offers practical insights into how modern inspection technology is helping organizations move beyond reactive repairs and toward a safer, smarter, and more proactive future.Important LinksCustom Concrete Specialists https://www.ccsgrouponline.com/Previous Whole Grain Podcast Episode Featuring Cheyenne Wohlford, CEO & President of Custom Concrete Specialists Innovations in Grain Silo Maintenance: Drone Inspection Services https://www.geaps.com/news-publications/whole-grain-podcast/innovations-in-grain-silo-maintenance-drone-inspection-services-2/GEAPS Website https://www.geaps.com/GEAPS Credentialing Program https://www.geaps.com/training-education/credentials/Whole Grain Podcast https://www.geaps.com/wholegrainGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Hosted by Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training at GEAPS, this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast explores how military experience translates into meaningful careers in the grain handling and processing industry.A lot of veterans don't struggle with work ethic—they struggle with direction. When the uniform comes off, the mission and the built-in team can disappear overnight. That's why this conversation resonates so strongly.Jim sits down with veterans Bishop Chamberlin and Justin Leach of The DeLong Co., Inc. to discuss how the grain industry can turn “I just need a job” into a career built around community, growth, leadership, and real public impact.Together, they explore the practical reasons veterans fit grain operations so well: long hours, high standards, safety-first thinking, teamwork, adaptability, and constant problem solving when equipment, logistics, or plans suddenly change. Bishop shares how his military background in construction, logistics, and leadership translates directly into agricultural exports and terminal operations, while Justin discusses the leadership habits that matter most on civilian teams—staying level-headed, developing people, and building trust quickly.The conversation also dives into veteran advocacy and support systems that truly make a difference. Bishop explains the creation of The DeLong Company's Military Veterans Resource Group and why veterans often need a “team within a team” as they transition into civilian careers. The discussion also highlights how small improvements in recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and mentorship can improve retention and long-term success for veterans, National Guard members, and Reservists.Finally, the episode shares the origin story behind the new GEAPS Military Discount Program, which provides 50% off GEAPS online learning opportunities for veterans and active-duty military personnel. The group discusses how reducing financial barriers can help veterans pursue credentials like the CGOM and stand out in a rapidly evolving industry.If you care about workforce development, veteran careers, leadership, and the future of agriculture logistics, this is a conversation worth sharing.Subscribe to the Whole Grain Podcast, share this episode with a veteran or hiring manager, and leave a review to help more people discover opportunities in the grain industry.Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes shares her take on the 2025–2030 USDA Dietary Guidelines released in 2026, explaining how the USDA updates them every five years and how they affect downstream food policy. She says the new inverted food pyramid and “eat real food” messaging feel more like marketing than a true 180, though she appreciates that the guidelines are shortened to 10 pages. From a sports dietetics lens, she critiques the low grain/carbohydrate guidance as inadequate for athletes, recommends past episodes on carbs, sugar, and during-training fuel, and notes athletes may need some refined carbs to avoid excessive fiber and GI issues. She likes the increased protein target (1.2–1.6 g/kg), the more permissive tone on whole fats despite a still-low saturated fat cap, and the stronger “limit alcohol” message, and discusses potential implications for SNAP, school lunches, and ultra-processed foods.

Across the grain industry, facility leaders are navigating a level of uncertainty we haven't seen in years. Volatile commodity markets. Weather extremes. Labor shortages. Tighter margins. Rising expectations around safety, uptime, and quality.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz sits down with Matt Koch, Chief Marketing Officer at Sukup Manufacturing Co., to explore what it really takes to operate a modern grain facility in today's unpredictable environment.From macro market pressures and geopolitical shifts to storage strategy, grain conditioning risk, and practical automation, this conversation moves beyond equipment to systems thinking. Matt shares a global perspective from working with producers, commercial elevators, terminals, and processors across more than 100 countries.The takeaway? Long-term success isn't just about buying low and selling high. It's about reducing loss, designing resilient systems, and operating dependably—year after year.What You'll Learn• Why many operators are shifting from short-term optimization to 3–7 year strategic planning • How global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics are shaping grain infrastructure decisions • Why storage is becoming a strategic lever—not just capacity • The hidden risks of large-bin consolidation and long-term storage • How under-designed aeration systems quietly erode margins • Why CO₂ monitoring often detects grain issues before temperature spikes • What meaningful automation actually looks like in commercial facilities • How modular OEM automation systems can improve safety and consistency • Why preventing loss often matters more than market timingKey ThemesStorage as StrategyWell-designed storage allows operators to create market flexibility, improve throughput, standardize multi-site operations, and reduce management complexity. Scale has changed the game—and infrastructure must evolve with it.Grain Conditioning RiskAs bins grow larger, risk grows with them. Consolidated storage requires tighter monitoring. CO₂ levels, moisture control, proper fan management, and active oversight are critical to protecting grain value over long-term storage cycles.Automation for Real-World OperationsAutomation isn't about flashy control rooms. It's about preventing operator error at 2:00 a.m., improving safety, supporting lean teams, and ensuring consistent procedures across facilities.Loss Prevention Over SpeculationWhile commodity markets drive headlines, operational discipline drives profitability. Reducing spoilage, minimizing downtime, and designing dependable systems may be the most powerful competitive advantage.Learn more at: www.sukup.comGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training at GEAPS, sits down with Dr. Gretchen Mosher, Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University. Dr. Mosher is a nationally recognized expert on grain quality, measurement systems, and safety management — and her research reveals why testing is one of the most powerful tools grain handlers have for protecting quality, reducing risk, and making informed operational decisions.Key TakeawaysTesting is about information — not punishment.Testing provides actionable data that helps grain handlers make better decisions about drying, storing, blending, and shipping products. It validates when quality is on target and identifies small issues before they become costly problems.A strong testing strategy is essential risk management.Most grain quality or safety failures start small. Routine sampling and testing catch issues early, protect millions of dollars in inventory, and support compliance with FSMA and other regulatory requirements.Both incoming and outgoing testing matter.Testing inbound grain establishes a baseline. Testing outbound grain provides documentation and leverage when customers question quality — proving the product met standards when it left the facility.Consistency is king: garbage in, garbage out.Valid sampling procedures are the foundation of trustworthy data. Inconsistent sampling or uncalibrated equipment create errors that distort results.Composite sampling and two-tiered testing improve reliability.Small samples collected over time create an accurate picture of quality. Simple rapid tests help flag samples needing deeper analysis.Testing data only has value if you use it.Data that's collected but ignored is wasted investment. Facilities should use test results to guide blending, storage decisions, aeration, safety controls, and customer allocation.Good testing protects export markets.Documentation proves that grain marketed as non-GMO, food-grade, or identity-preserved was handled correctly.Future technologies will enhance sampling — not replace judgment.Machine vision, sensors, and automated systems are improving sampling accuracy, but the core purpose remains the same: better information for better decisions.Pull Quotes“Testing gives you information — and people make better decisions when they have better data.”“Most big problems in grain start small. Testing helps you catch them early.”“Garbage in, garbage out. Consistent sampling is the key to reliable results.”“If you collect data and don't use it, you might as well put a pile of money on the floor and light it on fire.”“You have total control over the quality of your data.”Important Links & Related EpisodesIowa State University Department of Agricultural and Biosystems EngineeringIntroduction to Grain Quality Management (GEAPS Online Course)Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Temporary Storage – Is Your System Ready?Temporary storage plays a critical role in grain operations—but it comes with unique challenges, risks, and costs that must be carefully managed. In this episode, 40-year industry veteran Bob Marlow shares hard-earned lessons, success strategies, technologies improving temporary storage, and a practical framework for evaluating whether this year's plan is truly ready.From grain quality protection and site design to cost tracking and operational safety, Bob provides real-world examples every grain facility can learn from—plus one cautionary tale you won't forget.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhen and why facilities rely on temporary storage—and how to distinguish emergency vs. true temporary storageThe biggest advantages vs. drawbacks compared to permanent storageEssential steps to ensure your temporary storage system is ready before harvestHow pad design, tarps, aeration, and fan management impact safety and grain qualityWhy grain quality issues escalate faster in piles and how to prevent lossThe most commonly overlooked or “hidden” costs—and how to track themNew tech and evolving best practices (CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan control, improved tarps, cover-on-first systems)A practical readiness checklist based on Purdue's SLAM method (Sanitize, Level, Aerate, Monitor)Key TakeawaysTemporary storage is not “cheap storage.” It has recurring costs and higher risk that demand intentional planning.Grain quality is the make-or-break factor. Moisture, temperature swings, and tarp failures can quickly turn #1 grain into sample grade.Don't “set it and forget it.” Fan mismanagement can cause re-wetting, heating, mold, and insects.Track true costs annually. Labor, tarps, repairs, pest control, fuel/electricity, and reclaim losses add up.Technology is changing the game. CO₂ monitoring, wind-based fan controls, and cover-on-first designs are improving outcomes.Bob's Readiness Checklist (SLAM Method)Before harvest, confirm:S – Sanitize: Clean pad, remove old grain, treat for pests L – Load Level/Core: Build and core the pile properly A – Aerate: Have a plan to cool grain and manage fans correctly M – Monitor/Maintain: Monitor CO₂, temp, tarp condition, equipment & safetyRed Flags That Require Immediate ActionOff-odors around fans (sour, musty, fermented)CO₂ or temperature spikesTarp loosening or wind-flappingWater pooling around the pad or under tarpsCrusting or heating at surface or sidewalls Grain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Royo Baked Goods, a family-run Brooklyn bakery that's making some bold claims about their bread and bagels. With nutrition numbers that seem almost impossible—80-calorie bagels and 30-calorie bread slices—Jenn knew she had to investigate what's really going on. What she found in the nutrition facts and ingredient list sparked an interesting conversation about modern food alternatives. Are these the answer to enjoying your favorite carbs guilt-free, or is something else going on here? Jenn dives into what makes these products different, what caught her attention, and why the "healthier" option might not always be the best choice nutritionally. You'll want to hear what she has to say before you place your next bakery order. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday.

California is on the verge of legalizing E15 fuel for the first time after the legislature unanimously passed Assembly Bill 30. In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, Jim Lenz, Director of Global Education and Training at GEAPS, talks with Geoff Cooper, President & CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), about how persistence, coalition-building, and strategy led to this milestone — and what it means for consumers, retailers, policymakers, and grain professionals. From lower costs and cleaner air to ripple effects across ethanol markets and grain demand, this conversation explores how one bill could reshape the renewable fuels landscape for decades.Geoff Cooper is President and CEO of the RFA, the leading trade association for America's ethanol industry. Since joining RFA in 2008, he has driven market growth, shaped policy, and expanded global demand for ethanol and co-products. A former U.S. Army captain specializing in fuel logistics, Geoff has served on key advisory boards and testified before state and federal bodies. He is widely recognized as a leader in the bioeconomy and a strong advocate for sustainable fuels.Key TakeawaysAB30 passed unanimously — a historic first for ethanol legislation — and includes an urgency clause to make E15 legal immediately once signed. Consumers could save ~$2.7 billion annually (about $200 per household) with E15, typically priced 10–30¢ per gallon lower than E10. Environmental benefits include reduced smog-forming emissions, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and greenhouse gases. Ethanol production is zero-waste: starch becomes fuel while protein, fat, and fiber become livestock feed. A broad coalition — retailers, farm groups, transport associations, chambers of commerce, veterans, and labor — made AB30 possible. California's decision accelerates federal momentum for year-round E15 and influences fuel policy worldwide. Market impact: 600–700 million gallons of additional ethanol demand could require 200–250 million more bushels of corn, boosting grain handling and transport.Pull Quotes“This is the first ethanol-friendly bill to move through the California legislature with unanimous support.” “E15 delivers typical pump savings of 10–30 cents per gallon — and we've seen even larger discounts.” “The ethanol process today is zero-waste — starch becomes fuel, and protein, fat, and fiber become livestock feed.” “California's move on E15 sends a signal nationwide and around the world.” Important Links & Related EpisodesRenewable Fuels Association (RFA) — https://ethanolrfa.org/Fueling the Future: The Role of Renewable Fuels in the Grain Industry with RFA's Robert White E15, Ethanol and the Future of Agriculture with Emily Skor of Growth EnergyDriving Change: TheGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.
