In this episode of the After Hours Ag Podcast, we're joined by Dr. William Aderholdt, Executive Director and co-founder of Grand Farm, to discuss how the organization is bringing together farmers, startups, researchers, manufacturers, and government agencies to solve agriculture's biggest challenges.

Join us in the field with Gage Swenson of Swenson Farms as we put a new Pillar cart and drill to work behind his tractor and discuss the realities of farming today. Gage shares the history of his family's operation and the generations that have worked the same land before him. Along the way, we dive into the challenges modern farmers face, including rising input costs, volatile commodity prices, and the ever-present impact of weather on the success of a crop.

We sit down with Ag with Emma, one of the most recognizable voices in ag social media, to talk about how she went from a minimal ag background to becoming a trusted educator and creator with a massive online following. She breaks down how seed production, FFA, and extension work helped shape her, and how a simple classroom moment ("Is soil the same as fertilizer?") sparked her mission to teach agriculture online.
