  • Ep. 22: Inside AgroLiquid's IQ Hub
    When Farm Bureau Insurance was founded in 1919, our primary goal was to
    promote and represent the interests of farmers within the state of Michigan.
    And while our service offerings have expanded to include all types of industries, we’re
    still very proud of our agricultural roots.
    In this episode we take an inside look at AgroLiquid's IQ Hub with today’s guest, Emily Crambell, the Education & Outreach Manager of AgroLiquid’s IQ Hub!
    If you haven’t been out to visit the IQ Hub yet, it’s a phenomenal education center with
    all kinds of interactive exhibits that help teach the community where their food comes
    from.
