Hoosier Ag Today and Indiana AgriNews are partnering up to offer Indiana AgriNews’ From the Field reports on the radio. The reports feature farmers around the state of Indiana who share their experiences with weather, crop conditions, weeds, insects, diseases and farm management. The partnership will also offer a special page on on the Hoosier Ag Today Web site, where listeners can access unedited versions of From the Field interviews.

“This is farmers talking to farmers,” said Gary Truitt of Hoosier Ag Today. “This kind of thing can only be done by Indiana-based media organizations like HAT and AgriNews who are in touch with their audience and with what is happening on the farms of the state.” Hoosier Ag Today produces daily radio programming for 30 leading stations across the state. Indiana AgriNews is a recognized leader in Indiana farm news coverage serving over 21,000 farm families with its weekly publication. In addition, to the radio and print versions, From the Field reports will also be included in the Official Podcast of Indiana Agriculture, produced by Hoosier Ag Today, and a free daily e-mail newsletter. This podcast is available at both the Hoosier Ag Today and AgriNews Web sites.

Farmers involved in the program are from Pulaski, Kosciusko, Tipton, Jay, Clay, Rush, Dubois, and Washington counties. “These firsthand reports on current field and crop conditions are vital, especially this year with drought conditions spreading across the state,” said Jim Henry, Editor of Indiana AgriNews.
