EP 217: Indiana Department of Ag, Indiana USDA Hub, & Ag Advancements

How do we build up agriculture economic development? Returning guest, Don Lamb joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As you may remember, Don is the Director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.

In addition to sharing about his career background and what his role looks like on a day-to-day basis, he’ll discuss why Indiana’s department of agriculture is so special. You’ll also hear how Don and “Team Ag Indiana” were able to successfully deliver a pitch to bring a USDA hub to Indiana and potential benefits to Indiana growers to have them local. Don will also explain his thoughts around successfully tracking and managing agriculture economic development despite urban sprawl and large industrial sites. “When I think about… economic development and agriculture, the doing should be happening locally… Get active.”
