The Stine Seedcast, our biweekly podcast, is celebrating one year of connecting growers with the latest Stine news. Since its inception in November 2021, we’ve delivered informative and fascinating stories from Stine leadership, employees and industry experts. From timely agronomic advice to historical reviews of Stine through the decades, the Stine Seedcast has proven to be an excellent way to share the Stine story and deliver key expertise to growers during the most critical times.
“We are excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Stine Seedcast,” says David Thompson, host of the podcast. “When we started the Seedcast, our goal was simply to provide an outlet for some of the stories that make Stine so unique. There are many more great stories to share, along with relevant agronomic guidance and recommendations that can be extremely valuable to our grower-customers."
A major milestone
While celebrating a year’s worth of great content is exciting, we’ve also achieved another milestone this month. To date, the Stine Seedcast has approximately 14,000 total downloads.
Podcasts are becoming a more popular way to consume content in the ag sphere where the amount of media consumed continues to increase. In fact, according to our friends at Successful Farming and their recent Farmer Media Trends Research Review, podcasts are a growing medium in the agriculture sector. Their report indicates that media use of podcasts has increased from 29% in 2017 to 53% in 2022. And of the ag audience members consuming podcasts, 59% say they listen to stay up to date on news and current events.
“This is exactly what we strive to provide with the Stine Seedcast,” says Thompson. “A bit of company history, personal profiles, news and updates, and hopefully some entertainment along the way. And perhaps the most important aspect for our grower customers is they’re getting timely information that can help them maximize returns on their operations. We hope that our listeners find the content valuable.”
New episodes of the Stine Seedcast drop biweekly on Tuesdays. Stay tuned for our next episode coming out Tuesday, Nov. 20, where we bring on Jay Stroh of Albaugh — a leading supplier of crop protection products — on the episode to discuss the base products in seed treatments and how they can help boost the performance of your crop.
