Agribusiness Council of IN, Ag Legislature, and Best Vacations

November 11, 2024 6:00 pm|

We’ve got a dignitary visiting us! That might be a bit of a stretch, but not by much! Special guest, Bruce Kettler, joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama on this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Bruce is the CEO and President of the Agribusiness Council of Indiana.

In addition to learning about his background in agronomy and agriculture, you’ll hear how he ended up in the Department of Agriculture and ultimately the Agribusiness Council of Indiana. Bruce will explain how the ag retail industry has the same concerns as the growers, what’s been done in 2024, and what’s top of mind for the Agribusiness Council as we head into 2025. You’ll learn how the council has worked in education around pesticides and how they’ve weighed in on the legislature in Indiana. From the opportunity to learn about the Emerging Professionals Leadership Program and land usage with the LEAP District to how the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) can assess the trade offs for moving farm land to solar farms or warehouses, this episode packs a punch. “A farm is a business… That farmland is not just waiting to be developed!”
