RFS, Downward Agriculture Trends, & Favorite Appliance

May 6, 2024 6:00 pm|

When you’re in a downward cycle, how’d we get here, how long’s it going to last, and how do we get out? To provide her insight on this topic, Jacqui Fatka joins solo host Sal Sama in the podcast room for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Jacqui is the Lead Industry Analyst for CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange division covering the Farm Supply and Biofuels segments.

Jacqui shares about her career development from her start growing up on the farm to a career as an agriculture journalist to her current role with CoBank. You’ll learn about how her current role helps her spot industry trends and what she’s seeing in current markets overall. She’ll dig into overall industry trends including debt to asset ratios, why it’s important to know your cost of production numbers, and why we are in a bit of a downward cycle. She’ll also share how labor costs and the number of available workers has affected interest rates, and she’ll dig into how electric vehicles and the Renewable Fuel Standard have impacted growers. “There’s new opportunities coming and… if designed well, it can be a new opportunity to really take ag to a new level and get to a new cycle.”

298. Maizly’s Tim Leclercq on corn-based milk, flexitarian consumers + collaborating with farmers

May 6, 2024 5:00 am|

The rise in alternative foods has become a growth driver for the food industry at large and has created new opportunities for innovators and consumers to experience new foods, alike. This week, we are joined by Maizly CEO, Tim Leclercq, to talk about the most abundant crop in the world being transformed into a new drink: corn-based milk.

From taste to mouth feel, Tim gets into Maizly’s differentiated product and functionality. He also talks about its environmental impact versus other milk alternatives and Maizly’s commitment to sustainability – from product creation to packaging.

Why milk? And why corn? Maizly’s founding expands well beyond a business getting off the ground. Tim discusses their passion project in Sub-Sarahan Africa, nutrition access for infants as a challenge and their ability to deliver life-saving solutions to young babies.

As Tim looks ahead at Maizly, the U.S. market is on the horizon; so what’s next? He talks working with corn growers, who is driving the next wave of food innovation (hint: he thinks there is a lot of smaller competitors coming) and when Maizly will hit store shelves and e-commerce sites near you.

Eric Pfeiffer reports how Indiana soybean farmers are also looking for new opportunities to team up with the aquaculture industry.
