“The food and ag business industry was ranked 22nd out of 22 industries with respect to its digital footprint.” What can be done about that? An industry leader, Dr. Allen Gray, joins hosts Sal Sama and Ryan Priest for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Dr. Gray is not only the Professor of Agriculture Economics at Purdue University but is also the Land O’Lakes Chair in Food and Agribusiness!

He’ll explain what DIAL Ventures is and their partnership with High Alpha Innovation to create 12 startup companies to help digitize the agriculture industry. You’ll learn how those startups are devoted to making strides with regard to land, labor, and capital, and how the H-2A program, Croft, is improving the labor situation in the agriculture industry.
