Welcome back to the North America Agribusiness podcast channel. Did you miss us? We're starting up a new series, focused on production and markets for North American crops, ranging from commodities in the Midwest to specialty crops in California. In this episode, the RaboResearch North American Crops team discusses how the conflict in Iran is impacting global crop production – and what that means for North American agriculture.
But first, we would like to introduce you to our team. Focusing on all things crops, from grains and oilseeds to stone fruits and berries, we bring current and timely insights along with in-depth overviews of the research we are conducting, as well as what we are hearing across the agri-food value chain.
In today's episode, we are excited to introduce our six-member team and some of the research we're working on.
Our team includes:
Steve Nicholson, Head of Crops, North America
David Magaña, Senior Fresh Produce and Tree Nut Analyst
Sam Taylor, Executive Director, Farm Input Analyst
Owen Wagner, Senior Grains and Oilseeds Analyst
Al Griffin, Senior Data Analyst
Eric Gibson, Crop Production Sustainability Analyst
Over the coming weeks, we will further explore research topics ranging from the competitiveness of North American crops and value drivers to specialty crop opportunities and soil health. Check back every couple of weeks to see what our team and other members of RaboResearch have in store.
