EP 197: Ag in the State Senate, IN Property Taxes, & Worst Farm Jobs

Hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama are joined by special guest Daryl Schmitt in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Daryl is the Indiana State Senator for District 48 and is also known as Daryl-The-Farmer and Daryl-Just-Tryin’-To-Help.

You’ll hear about Daryl’s career progression from working on the farm to a career as a state senator and how he’s been able to advocate for rural Southern Indiana in the state government.  In addition to hearing what types of things felt like a culture shock, you’ll learn how Daryl and his team handle concerns from their constituents.  They’ll also tackle tough issues like the property tax system, land usage concerns, and water regulations.  Buckle up for a great episode hearing more from someone who knows exactly what it’s like to be a grower.  As Sal says, “It’s important for us… to have somebody in the state government that understands farming.”
