In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak sits down with two distinguished guests, Russell Morgan and Paige Gilligan, to discuss the upcoming event hosted by Mac's Academy: The Sweet Smell of Success: A Deep Dive into Sugars of Science and Economic Impact. Scheduled for November 6th, 2024, in Fort Myers, Florida, this event will offer participants an in-depth exploration of the sugar industry through both educational sessions and field tours.
Russell Morgan, a seasoned agriculture consultant with over 38 years of experience and founder of Morgan Ag Consulting Services, and Paige Gilligan, the founder of Risk Mitigation Advisors and former Senior Vice President at Rabobank North America, bring their extensive expertise to the conversation. Both guests have dedicated their careers to educating the next generation of agricultural professionals. They emphasize the critical importance of practical, hands-on learning experiences in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, a key mission of Mac's Academy.
During the episode, Russell and Paige share their personal backgrounds, providing insights into their journeys within the agricultural sector. Russell discusses his roots on a dairy and tobacco farm in Tennessee, which ultimately led him to a career in agriculture consulting. Paige, on the other hand, recounts her path from growing up in Indiana to establishing her consulting firm in California after a successful tenure at Rabobank North America.
The conversation then shifts to Mac's Academy, where Russell and Paige detail the inspiration behind its founding. The academy is dedicated to providing high-quality professional development and is particularly focused on empowering future generations of agricultural professionals. They preview the November event, which includes a tour of South Florida sugar cane farms, educational sessions on sugar production, and a crucial segment on disaster planning with Midwest Food Bank.
Throughout the discussion, the guests underscore the importance of education in the agricultural industry. Paige highlights the academy's mission to provide relevant and focused training, while Russell stresses that the academy's approach is not just about teaching what to think, but how to think. This educational philosophy aims to equip participants with the tools needed to address current challenges and prepare for future ones.
The upcoming event, titled The Sweet Smell of Success: A Deep Dive into Sugars of Science and Economic Impact, will take place on November 6th, 2024, in Fort Myers, Florida. The event promises a comprehensive experience, starting with a tour of sugar cane farming operations, followed by sessions on the economic impact of sugar, production costs, and disaster planning.
Listeners can tune in to North American Ag Spotlight on various platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Rumble, and Telegram. The episode encourages listeners to visit the Mac's Academy website for more information and to sign up for the November event.
