    Data-Rich Harvest: Cultivating Digital Strategies and Carbon Value in Agriculture

    In today’s fast-changing agricultural landscape, sustainability and technology are no longer optional—they’re essential for thriving in the industry. This was the central theme of the latest episode of the Data Enrich Bushel Podcast, where industry leaders shared insights on how digital strategies and carbon value are reshaping agriculture. Hosted by Christopher Ruel, this episode featured Jason Little, a sustainability expert with years of experience in AgTech, and Jeff Schreiner, a technology leader from Cultura Technologies with a wealth of expertise in digital tools for agriculture. Joining them were Dan Olson, a seasoned farmer and ethanol plant operator, and Brad Justice, an advocate for integrating sustainability into agricultural practices. Jason Little brings a rich background in agriculture and technology. From growing up on a farm to leading successful AgTech startups, Jason has lived at the intersection of sustainability and innovation. His experience includes roles in ecosystem strategy at Indigo and the development of groundbreaking digital platforms for ag retailers. Jeff Schreiner’s journey began on a Nebraska farm and evolved into a career at the forefront of agricultural technology. At Cultura Technologies, he oversees tools that digitize and streamline key processes in the ag value chain, making Jeff an authority on how data can transform the future of agriculture. Together, the panel unpacked the industry’s shift from demand-side premiums to supply-side subsidies, the importance of field-level data, and the role of digital tools in creating new opportunities for farmers and ag retailers alike.

    Fueling the Future: GEVO's acquisition of Red Trail Energy

    The podcast discusses Gevo's recent acquisition of Red Trail Energy, focusing on its implications for the ethanol and sustainable aviation fuel industries. Gevo purchased Red Trail’s ethanol production facility and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) assets for $210 million, aiming to expand sustainable fuel production. The acquisition leverages Red Trail’s low-carbon ethanol capabilities and CCS technology, which can sequester 180,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. The conversation covers the strategic significance of this move, including the integration of carbon capture technology to lower ethanol's carbon intensity, making it a more viable sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstock. The speakers also discuss the impact on local agriculture, market trends, and regulatory factors influencing biofuels. With the potential for wider market access and tax incentives, the acquisition positions Gevo to lead in the growing demand for low-carbon fuels and possibly other sustainable products like bio-based plastics.
