About us
Indiana agriculture is one of the most productive industries in the nation. Eighty percent of Indiana land is involved in agricultural production. Indiana ranks fifth in corn production and is the eighth largest exporting state in the nation. Indiana is in the top five states in poultry, eggs, pork, dairy, and ethanol production. Agriculture is a major economic driver in the state, contributing over $31.2 billion to the state economy. The farmers that make up this industry depend on a timely, relevant, and credible source for information every day. Hoosier Ag Today is that source. With the largest network of local radio stations across the state, several web and digital channels, and a convenient mobile app, Hoosier Ag Today has become the source that farmers rely on to stay informed. Every day, HAT radio stations reach 50% of Indiana farmers; and our e-newsletter reaches nearly 8,000 people, mostly farmers and agribusiness leaders. A team of nationally known farm broadcasters make Hoosier Ag Today the largest farm news organization in the state. Network programs contain futures prices, analysis, an Indiana farm forecast, plus on-location coverage of state, national, and international farm news. How it Began: In 1985, Gary Truitt arrived in Indiana and began building a farm radio network. By 2005, Truitt was the most-listened-to farm broadcaster in the state, but an ownership change shifted the focus of that network away from Indiana. In 2006, Truitt founded Hoosier Ag Today, dedicated to serving Indiana. Since then, Truitt has gathered a team of talented broadcasters and built the largest ag radio network in Indiana. HAT has been an innovator in using web, mobile app, and social media platforms to deliver timely information to Indiana farmers. In 2019, Hoosier Ag Today purchased a network in Michigan and founded Michigan Ag Today. It is now the most listened to radio network in the state.

While members of the 118th Congress will be finished with their lame-duck session at the end of this week, lawmakers have yet to release or vote on a year-end legislation package. Although recent negotiations have included funding for the federal government, a Farm Bill extension, economic assistance for agriculture producers and natural disaster recovery aid, Congressional leadership has signaled that the package does not currently include economic assistance.

If you’ve ever tuned in to one of our Purdue Crop Chat podcasts, you know we like to give each other a bit of a hard time. Purdue Extension Corn Specialist Dan Quinn and Soybean Specialist Shaun Casteel join us to discuss agronomy topics important to you, but we have some fun along the way. One of the running jokes is that Casteel gives Quinn a hard time that they still haven’t figured out nitrogen rates in corn for about 40 years. On the latest episode, Quinn explains that in his research this year, he did trials around the state with zero nitrogen that might explain why it’s so tough to figure out.

On this edition of Hoosier Ag This Week: Farm labor has been an ongoing issue for the ag industry. Our C.J. Miller has an exclusive conversation with American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall, who says he’ll be pushing lawmakers on Capitol Hill next year to revise the H-2A Visa program to better meet the needs of the ag industry. Beef is under attack again! This time, it's by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and their “scientific report” that recommends less red meat consumption. Eric Pfeiffer chats with Sigrid Johannes with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, who says the “report” is based not on science, but on a political bias. You’ll also hear about a new program starting next year from AgriNovus Indiana that is looking to reward three top agbioscience start-up companies with $25,000 each. All that—plus Brian Basting with Advance Trading, Inc. reviews Friday’s grain markets. It's all part of the Hoosier Ag This Week Podcast!

Indiana is the number one producer of duck in the U.S., number three for egg production, and number four for turkey production. The state’s two main duck producers, Maple Leaf Farms and Culver Duck Farms, Inc., have seen a great deal of success because of the demand for duck in Asia, Canada, Mexico and other foreign markets. Becky Joniskan, President of the Indiana State Poultry Association, says the worldwide demand for poultry products is growing because more people around the world have the money to spend.
