Identifying customer needs – jobs to be done – it's the core of innovation. But what are the jobs that need to be done? What are those things left undone as we head into the 2025 growing season? And what does the current economy, trade environment and overall farm sentiment mean for innovators and the farmers they serve? Brad Fruth, Director of Innovation at Beck’s Hybrids, joins this week to make sense of it all. We get into:  

  • What’s on farmers minds given the current state of the ag economy 
  • Big trends Brad is seeing aside from the macroeconomic headwinds and tailwinds 
  • The role of biologicals and seed traits in this current economy
