In this episode of On the Tailgate, we sit down with Gary Schaefer from InnerPlant, a company that’s redefining what it means to listen to your crops. Gary walks us through how InnerPlant is using living sensors—actual plants that can communicate stress, disease, or nutrient deficiencies in real time. That’s right, soybeans that signal when they’re under pressure, long before the human eye can see it.
We dig into how this revolutionary technology works, how it fits into today’s farming operations, and what it could mean for the future of agronomy. Gary shares real-world applications, explains how data from these plants connects to farm management tools, and highlights how this tech could help farmers make quicker, smarter decisions in the field.
Whether you’re curious about sustainability, yield protection, or just love hearing about the latest ag innovations, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Tune in and join us for a look at how InnerPlant is giving crops a voice—and how farmers are starting to listen.
