INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — Crop and livestock producers often work hand in hand to develop new export markets for U.S. agriculture. This week, the Indiana Soybean Alliance is hosting the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) to discuss strategies for expanding global opportunities for American farmers and ranchers.
David Hardin with the Indiana Soybean Alliance joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share insights from the event and discuss the strong connection between soybean growers and the U.S. meat export industry.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Hardin explained why meat exports are so important to Indiana’s soybean farmers and how that partnership helps drive demand for soy-based feed and other agricultural products. He also discussed his own involvement in USMEF’s work and the strategic planning taking place this week.
Hardin also shared what it means to welcome USMEF leadership and global staff to Indiana for the conference and offered a look at his own diversified operation, where he raises hogs, soybeans, and corn.
