Harvest Surprises, Planted Soybeans, & Weird Fashion

October 21, 2024 6:00 pm|

A kernel is a kernel is a kernel… right? Returning but still special guest Glenn Longabaugh joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Glenn is the Agronomist for Premier Companies, and in addition to being a wealth of knowledge and large words, he’s a fan favorite!

Glenn will share some of the surprises growers in the Midwest saw with the late-planted corn and how kernel depth and weight have been impacted by the growing conditions. He’ll also share his thoughts on whether growers should plant soybeans before or after corn and what that will mean for overall management. Sal, Jeff, and Glenn will talk through some of the reasons why there has been such a dramatic variability in yield across the area and the damage charcoal rot can do to a soybean field. “If you have fields that are disappointing and all you hear from the neighbors is, ‘Oh, this is the best crop I ever had,’ trust me, it is not just you!”

327. Beck's Hybrids' Bethany Gremel on defining company culture + its critical link to brand

October 21, 2024 4:00 am|

Company culture is often referred to in business books and board rooms, but is hard to define. Beck’s Hybrids’ Bethany Gremel, Director of Brand Experience and Culture, joins today to answer a few big questions: what is company culture? How do you define it for impact?

Bethany gets into culture as a living organism that needs fed and its foundation being a series of behaviors rather than words. She also talks about culture and brand working together, how their team fosters culture at Beck’s and getting new people integrated into the company successfully – starting with their interview process.

How does culture keep going as employees age with the company? Bethany stresses the importance of loving and caring in the workplace and how what happens inside the company shows up on the outside of the company. Beck’s has expanded significantly over the last several years and as they’ve scaled, Bethany gets into the notion of “you cannot create culture, you have to catch it.”
