Indiana's Farm Network
About us
Indiana agriculture is one of the most productive industries in the nation. Eighty percent of Indiana land is involved in agricultural production. Indiana ranks fifth in corn production and is the eighth largest exporting state in the nation. Indiana is in the top five states in poultry, eggs, pork, dairy, and ethanol production. Agriculture is a major economic driver in the state, contributing over $31.2 billion to the state economy. The farmers that make up this industry depend on a timely, relevant, and credible source for information every day. Hoosier Ag Today is that source. With the largest network of local radio stations across the state, several web and digital channels, and a convenient mobile app, Hoosier Ag Today has become the source that farmers rely on to stay informed. Every day, HAT radio stations reach 50% of Indiana farmers; and our e-newsletter reaches nearly 8,000 people, mostly farmers and agribusiness leaders. A team of nationally known farm broadcasters make Hoosier Ag Today the largest farm news organization in the state. Network programs contain futures prices, analysis, an Indiana farm forecast, plus on-location coverage of state, national, and international farm news. How it Began: In 1985, Gary Truitt arrived in Indiana and began building a farm radio network. By 2005, Truitt was the most-listened-to farm broadcaster in the state, but an ownership change shifted the focus of that network away from Indiana. In 2006, Truitt founded Hoosier Ag Today, dedicated to serving Indiana. Since then, Truitt has gathered a team of talented broadcasters and built the largest ag radio network in Indiana. HAT has been an innovator in using web, mobile app, and social media platforms to deliver timely information to Indiana farmers. In 2019, Hoosier Ag Today purchased a network in Michigan and founded Michigan Ag Today. It is now the most listened to radio network in the state.

With the busy harvest season underway and grain needing to be shipped to its export destinations, drought conditions along the Mississippi River continue to get worse as the low water levels are stalling barges moving up and down the channel.
