The Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast for 12/7/24

On this edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: The Purdue Extension Farm Stress Team is working to not only end the stigma of mental health among farmers—they’re also reaching out to high school ag students. Eric Pfeiffer reports how a new curriculum is being rolled out to address mental health issues with students in rural communities.

C.J. Miller speaks with former Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue about Brooke Rollins, President Trump’s nominee to become his next Ag Secretary. Perdue shares his advice for Rollins as she prepares to lead USDA.

And you’ve heard us talk about folks turning old barns into restaurants, wedding venues, and retail shops—but what about an old grain elevator? That’s what several guys in Greenfield did when they bought an historic grain elevator in the downtown area and turned it into a popular restaurant called The Depot.

You’ll hear from Thomas Moore, one of the co-owners of The Depot, as he shares the story of how an historic piece of Indiana’s farm history has been saved, repurposed and restored as a dining destination attracting visitors from all around the world!

All that—plus Brian Basting with Advance Trading reviews Friday’s grain markets. It’s all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!
