The 10th Annual Ag Issues Forum, conducted by Bayer CropScience, is underway in advance of this year’s Commodity Classic. I want to thank Bayer for making it possible for us to cover this event once again.

Our first speaker is Jim Blome, President/CEO, Bayer CropScience LP. He has talked a little bit about his farm background and challenged attendees to get local though leaders out on a farm to help them better understand where their food comes from.

Listen in to Jim’s remarks and questions and answers from ag media: Jim Blome, Bayer CropScience, Remarks

After Jim’s remarks this morning I sat down with him to talk about the need for more innovation in the ag industry and the need to talk with people outside of agriculture.

This is a very packed program with lots of speakers and panels and I’ll be here to the end.
