    Welcome back, listeners! In today's episode, we dive into the latest developments in AgTech — the latest consolidation analysis revealing where M&A is reshaping the industry, Diane Holdorf on why nature-positive agriculture requires measurable farm-level data, Corteva and FMC posting strong earnings, Bayer and Ginkgo Bioworks partnering on next-generation biological crop protection, Terion launching its first commercial sustainability platform, Semios accelerating post-acquisition integration, and breakthrough advances in digital agriculture, electrification, and wheat genetics. Let's get started!

    Here’s a Quick Snapshot of What’s Making Headlines:

    Welcome back, listeners! In today's episode, we dive into the latest strides in AgTech — the data ownership question and why farm data is becoming a power issue as AI gets embedded in agricultural decisions, Pieter Lommen of Delphy on why CEA projects fail before they buy their first climate computer, Bayer cutting full-year crop science guidance, Bowery Farming's IP auction concluding across three buyers, Loam Bio's first commercial soil carbon credit sale, and Land O'Lakes expanding its Microsoft AI precision farming collaboration to 100 million acres. Let's get started!

    Here’s a Quick Snapshot of What’s Making Headlines:
    1. Analysis: The Data Ownership Question: who owns the data generated on a farm, why current contracts largely favour platforms over farmers, and why the answer is about to matter much more as AI gets embedded in agricultural decision-making
    2. Interview: Pieter Lommen of Delphy on practical CEA consulting — translating Dutch greenhouse science into commercially viable operations globally, crop-specific knowledge transfer, and why implementation matters more than technology
    3. Earnings: Bayer cuts FY crop science guidance citing US herbicide pricing pressure and glyphosate market dynamics; FMC reports better-than-expected Q2 on Latin America volume; Yara Q2 EBITDA up 14% on ammonia margins; Syngenta Group H1 revenues broadly stable
    4. M&A: BioAtlantis acquired by a strategic buyer — Irish seaweed bioactives company exits after 20-plus years; Bowery Farming IP auction concludes with hydroponic patents going to three separate buyers
    5. Launch: Protelum launches commercially — plant-based protein ingredient from lupin and faba bean targeting food reformulation; Loam Bio completes first commercial soil carbon credit sale under its CSIRO-validated methodology
    6. Partnerships: Syngenta and Indigo Ag's Terion sign a multi-year agronomic data sharing agreement; Land O'Lakes and Microsoft expand their AI precision farming collaboration to cover 100 million acres
    7. Funding: Naio Technologies raises 30M euros for vegetable crop weeding robotics; Persephone Biome raises $12M Series A for microbiome-based crop health; Tarfin raises $20M to expand agricultural credit access in Turkey
    8. Events: Commercial UAV Expo (Las Vegas), Taiwan Smart Agriweek, Women in Agribusiness Global Summit (New Orleans), Global Agrovet Research Conference (Dubai), EIMA International (Bologna)

  • CasClear, CRISPR, and AI in Soybean Genetics: New AgTech Frontiers - Interview with Matt Begemann Interview
    2026/07/24
    📺 Watch on YouTube and SpotifyUnlock the future of agtech and CRISPR with this deep dive into the world of soybean innovation and next-gen crop defense! Matt Begeman, a key voice from Confluence Genetics, unveils how his team is driving breakthroughs in seed genetics and leveraging cutting-edge technologies like CasClear. From transforming the profitability and sustainability landscape for growers to exploring the epic potential of CRISPR-based antimicrobials and cell-specific cancer therapies, this episode journeys across the science and strategy shaping global food and health systems.Listen in to discover:The intricate challenges and opportunities facing modern soybean growersHow AI and advanced breeding accelerate development of nutrient-rich, high-value cropsThe story behind CasClear and its powerful implications for agriculture—and even cancer treatmentWhy data, partnerships, and strategic tech licensing are changing the gameIf you’re passionate about the intersection of biology, technology, and agriculture, this episode is packed with thought-provoking insights you won’t want to miss!5 Key TakeawaysTake your agricultural strategy to the next level with these essential insights:AI-driven breeding models like CropOS can significantly accelerate soybean variety development and optimize desired traits—embrace technology to boost your crop outcomes.Creating higher-value soybean products with specialty traits unlocks premium markets for growers—seek out partnerships to increase your profitability per acre.Gene editing and CRISPR-based innovations, such as CasClear, are expanding possibilities for crop protection and quality—stay informed and engaged with cutting-edge solutions.Gathering and leveraging high-quality, connected sequence and phenotype data is key to successful breeding and product innovation—invest in your data strategy.Strategic collaborations and technology licensing can help expand the reach of impactful platforms—consider partnerships to amplify innovation and business growth.Memorable Quotes"So if we could take our CasClear technology, design it specifically for their cancer, deliver it to that individual, and basically deliver cell-specific chemotherapy where it only destroys the cancer cells and leaves all the normal cells intact. That's the conceptual idea we've built with CasClear in the oncology space.""Our goal is to enable as many different companies to use this technology as we can because I can't work on soybeans, antimicrobials, and oncology all at the same time. We've really got to partner with other companies to make this successful.""If you have decades worth of phenotype data but you've never sequenced your populations or understand your population structure, you're also kind of stuck. You've got to really pull both of these together to enable those AI tools to really drive your breeding organization forward and make better products at the end of the day."Connect with MattWebsite: https://confluence.ag/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-begemann/Resources Mentionedconfluence.ag – https://confluence.ag/castclear.com – https://castclear.com/University of Missouri – https://missouri.edu/University of Wisconsin–Madison – https://wisc.edu/University of Utah – https://utah.edu/UC Berkeley – https://berkeley.edu/Benson Hill – https://bensonhill.com/CropOS by Benson Hill – https://bensonhill.com/cropos/ChatGPT by OpenAI – https://openai.com/chatgptAnthropic – https://www.anthropic.com/Connect with Us!Be sure go subscribe to our other shows:Vertical Farming Podcast: https://verticalfarmingpodcast.com/Greenhouse Success Stories: https://greenhousesuccess.com/Presented by iGrowNews.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/igrownews🎙️🎙️🎙️Discover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag Report2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag Report
