A recent study funded by the Indiana Soybean Alliance shows animal agriculture is a significant contributor to Indiana’s economy.
Kendell Culp, ISA director and farmer, says animal ag has more than just a direct economic impact on local communities.
He calls it the “ag effect”. “There’s job development,” he says. “And then there is also the ripple effect for other businesses and industry partners that contribute to the economic vitality and success of these livestock operations located in Indiana.”
He tells Brownfield the value of the state’s animal agriculture production is on the rise.
