Farmers2Founders’ Post

💡💡From the last 2 months, I was working on a poultry management system with collaboration with my cousin who belongs to this field and help me understand that how things actually work in these type of systems. ........................... ⚡⚡when he first said to made this thing as we own a poultry farm I think so it's not two much heavy I will build it in less than 15 days but when he explained me the real concept it's was totally different from my thoughts of building it.It consist of different scenarios to create , update and show modules. ........................... ⚡⚡Now I am here and it will take more than 2 months extra (total about 4 months ) or maybe more than that to build and deploy it. ........................... ⚡⚡If you are thinking about creating a product or startup make sure that you have a person who has knowledge about that category if not kindly consult with some expert in that field to clear your concepts about that product. Thanks 👍

Welcome Scott Nelson, Co-Founder & CEO at Make Hay on this episode of 🔥 The Lantern 🔥 Today's consumers want to know more about their food and what they’re putting in their body - the ingredients and the farmers who make it. Brands, including CPGs, fast food restaurants, food retailers, etc. are trying to figure out how to tell those stories because consumers want to know more about the supply chain. Farmers have important stories to tell and large organizations need to create better content to tell their stories. Make Hay is building a software platform and marketplace to make those connections 🔍 What’s going on inside Make Hay heading into 2025? 🔎 Farm income is down $40B in the last couple years. Creating a secondary revenue stream for farmers to keep them on their land is a major initiative. Creating more efficiencies across marketing departments at big & small brands is a focus too. Backed by Purdue University & High Alpha, the Make Hay team built the alpha in 2024 alongside the right farming producers to help create an initial product. Now they’re focused on ramping up paying brands, nailing their pilots, and reaching initial commercial scale in 2025. 🤔 What has Scott learned from his career & building Make Hay? 🤔 Are you solving a problem that the world has? Does the world really need this thing that you’re building? That takes data, analytics & proving it out with customers. Team! Teamwork makes the dream work. From startups to big brands, you need the right team. Last, build something you’re passionate about and in a filed where you have some expertise. 🤝 How can we help? 🤝 They will be looking to the market to raise a Seed round in Q2. There are a lot of great investors in Boston, so for those interested in food & agriculture tech, those are the types of investors they would like to meet! For any brands out there who want to get more efficient with how they produce content and want more authentic trusted content from farmers, reach out! The Lantern is brought to you by MGMT Boston

After I shut down my last startup I was afraid I might be stuck in a local maximum focusing on agriculture so I decided and try a radical step to figure it out. I decided completely remove the industry from my life for a year. You see. I had been in the agriculture industry for 30 years straight and needed to know if I should keep doing that or if it was limiting me. I came up with three rules: 1. Though shalt not start another company in agriculture for 1 year. 2. Though shalt not think about ideas in agriculture for 1 year. 3. Though shalt not read about agriculture for 1 year. Number 1 & 3 where simple enough but part 2 was really hard and took 6 months of focused effort to really get too. But it was worth it. I learned so much. Now if I go back to agriculture I know with confidence it was by choice and not out of habit. Have you ever considered shutting your life off and turning it back on?

My job is so cool. Today, along with my World Business Chicago colleagues, CEO Phil Clement and VP, Innovation & Venture Nicole McCarthy, as well as City of Chicago Deputy Mayor Kenya K. Merritt and Project Manager Maranda R., I got to tour Clever Carnivore's lab testing facility in #chicago. This startup is taking off like a rocket, having developed a process to grow cultivated meat products from animal cells. We got to be among less than 500 people in the whole country to taste the pork meatballs and brats, and I would put them up against the "real" thing any day. When I think of the massive global issues being addressed by their work, like lessening the environmental impact of meat production and increasing food security, I'm even more impressed. #chicagofoodinnovation #chicagobiotech
