Is the laborious task of farm record keeping over? One Iowa tech founder built a solution.
Farmers aren't data analysts but they're expected to track hundreds of data points and present neatly structured data for regulators, insurance companies, and bankers. Dr. Sree Nilakanta, founder of Big Data In A Box says farmers enjoy the actual farming but the increasing demands of farm record keeping are becoming unbearable. That's why he is building a solution. Farm record keeping is a nuisance, logged on paper, and hours of work. And even when logged efficiently, farmers don't have a way to structure the data in such a way to get meaningful data for themselves. Dr. Nilakanta's low tech, conversational approach allows farmers an easy way to digitize their data, share select data with the correct entity, and gather useful data about their own farm they can use. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player:https://iowapodcast.com/sree-nilakanta/ ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://www.dentons.com/en/dentons-davis-brown 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: https://iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq

Booze-free and drug-free cocktails for health-minded "drinkers"
What do you reach for if you want to wind down with a delicious cocktail, but don't want alcohol or THC? Your options are fruit juice or sparkling water. Taylor Grasso, co-founder of Pesche and a certified nutritionist, says that gap is an opportunity to create a new beverage product focused around positive health "moments." Pesche's husband and co-founder was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in his twenties, which threw fuel on their inspirational fire to create a delicious, yet nutritious beverage using mushrooms, herbs, and minerals. Could they create a beverage that not only tasted good, but also aided calm, focus, or sleep? 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: https://iowapodcast.com/taylor-grasso-pesche/ ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://www.dentons.com/en/dentons-davis-brown 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: https://iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq

Iowans milling flour at home for health? Meet organic farmer, Jeff Hafner
Organic Iowa wheat farmer, Jeff Hafner was a bit confused earlier this year when Iowans started grinding their own flour at home using their own countertop flour mills. The stories all started sounding familiar, people who thought they were gluten sensitive, were eating their own homemade bread just fine. Hafner says he's no scientist. He's a farmer. But his customers stories have surprised him. He discusses the tough work of making organic wheat in Iowa, their stone-ground process, and why many farmers are struggling with USDA Organic paperwork. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: https://iowapodcast.com/jeff-hafner-organic-flour/ ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://www.dentons.com/en/dentons-davis-brown| 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: https://iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq

U of I students create pace-keeping LEDs for track athletes - Nicholas Gorsich of Stridelane
Long distance runners need to strike a delicate balance to win. If they go to slow, they fall behind. If they go to fast, they lose precious energy. Nicholas Gorsich, co-founder of Stridelane explains how their high tech LED pacing lights solves the problem and how their first version was made of hacked carnival lights! Gorsich says they bootstrapped the company taking no loans. How? He says they purchased carnival lights off Alibaba and re-engineered them to work with their own custom software. The system was acceptable enough to close early deals and get income. Combined with winning a few Iowa pitch competitions, they have just developed their first commercial product that ships to its first customer next week. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: https://iowapodcast.com/nicholas-gorsich-stridelane/ ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://www.dentons.com/en/dentons-davis-brown 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: https://iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq
