Future of Agriculture – Farmer Feedback on AgTech Ideas with Kevin Heikes and Kyle Morrow
Today’s guests allow us to look at agricultural technology and entrepreneurship from two different perspectives. Kyle Heikes is part of the IN10T, a digital agricultural company that created Farmer Trials. Farmer Trials is a platform that connects people who have new ideas and want to test them on real farms. These people get to work with real farmers who have the skill and resources to assess whether these ideas solve real problems that farmers face.
Also with me is Kyle Morrow, a farmer in Indiana who is currently a customer of Farmer Trials. Kyle shares his experience working with the company and allows us to look at matters from a practical approach since one of the goals of the program is to see things from different lenses.
Today, we see that all new and innovative agricultural technology is nothing until tested and proven effective on the farm. Kyle shares how art and science are combined as a growth strategy used by Farmer Trials; the communication process among the farmer, the ag entrepreneur, and Farmer Trials; and when entrepreneurs can approach Farmers Trials if they have new insights and project proposals.
“Having something like Farmer Trials where they can try multiple things within a given year accelerate the learning curve to utilizing the data.” – Kyle Morrow
This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:
- Problems that existed on the farm before Farmer Trials came along
- Requirements farmers had to meet in the past if a company wanted to do farm trials
- Tasks that Farmer Trials manage and facilitate for agribusinesses
- Working in the business versus working on the business
- Why the services offered by Farmer Trials are appealing to companies both big and small
- How Farmer Trials plan to use the grant awarded tthem by Kansas Department of Agriculture
- Who determines the compensation for the projects

Future of Agriculture – 5 Takeaways From The First 60 Episodes
While having guests and learning from people with different perspectives are the typical setup of this show, stopping to reflect on the things that have been discussed and talked about is an excellent way of seeing the learning, growth, and future direction of the program. With this said, today, I’m going to deviate from my normal program flow to look back and see where the journey has taken us.
Today, I’m going to talk about the five big takeaways I have learned from the first 60 episodes of the Future of Agriculture podcast. I also explain how these five big things determine the direction and content of the program.
Agriculture should be looked at from as many different lenses as possible. That’s where we’re going to get the ideas.
