From afar, it certainly looks like a miracle, and to be sure in many ways modern farming is just that. But it doesn’t happen on its own. This miracle is fueled by tens of thousands of imaginative, innovative and hardworking Hoosier farmers. These men and women of agriculture have been pivoting since the dawn of time. Now, they’re using satellite-guided tractors, drones, computerized planters, precise harvesting regimes and livestock technology not even dreamed about 20 years ago.
Agriculture is an industry full of opportunity – and peril. And without a careful hand on the till, a flourishing farm this year can be out of business the next. BizVoice brought together an all-star cast of agriculture experts – including farmers themselves – to discuss the current state of Indiana farming.
The current edition of BizVoice also contains several additional features. They include:
