One of the more popular features in Indiana AgriNews is From the Fields. Here farmers from around the state share their experiences with weather, crop conditions, weeds, insects, diseases, and farm management. Hoosier Ag Today (HAT) and AgriNews have partnered to bring From the Fields to the radio. Now these same growers can share their experiences in audio form on radio stations across the state. In addition, a special page on the Hoosier Ag Today Web site has been set up where unedited versions of these interviews can he heard.

“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.”

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. The newsletter can be obtained here.

Farmers involved in the program are from Pulaski, Tipton, Vigo, Rush, Dubois, and Washington counties.
