MFA offers “Made For Agriculture” podcast
As many road-warriors know, podcasts have seen a resurgence in recent years. They are streamable and downloadable audio entertainment, easy for on-demand listening. Podcasts work well for commuters or farmers who spend lots of time in the cab. Like audiobooks, podcasts can accommodate long-form recordings and in-depth treatments of complex topics that are hard to address in other media.
District Sales Manager Adam Jones and Seed Division Manager Cameron Horine team up regularly to host “Made for Agriculture.” In the podcast, the co-hosts take turns interviewing experts, influential farmers and discuss timely topics over the growing season and livestock calendar.
Episodes currently in the podcast library include precision ag technology, winter hay feeding and stockpiling, growing profitable wheat, grain marketing, carbon credits, foliar fungicides and many more. A new podcast is released approximately every two weeks.
The “Made for Agriculture” podcast is currently available on Android and Apple mobile devices and desktop computers. Listen and subscribe through any of these popular platforms:
