Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lester Jones
Q: Can you give a little background about yourself and what you do as the VP of Analytics and Chief Economist?
Lester describes his training in economics, early work in consumer research with Nielsen and Arbitron, roles at the Beer Institute and later NBWA, focusing on the economics and demographics that drive beer distribution and consumption. He highlights a career spanning over two decades analyzing what people buy, drink, and how beer is moved through the supply chain—from brewers to distributors to retailers—emphasizing the importance of the centralized distribution network and data-driven insights for industry players.
Reggie Strickland
Q: How does hurricane season impact your crop rotation and harvest schedule?
Hurricane season usually starts in September, so we aim to harvest our cucumbers before then, but corn, soybeans, and tobacco may still be in the fields. We try to harvest as much as possible beforehand, but it depends on the crop maturity.
Reggie Strickland
Q: What do you do with your livestock when a hurricane is approaching?
We prepare by ensuring we have generators ready and tying down everything as best we can, but ultimately, we rely on prayer and hope for the best outcome.
Understanding The Past to Aide in the Future: Interview With Rob Proulx
Q: What did you bring to the conversation?
Rob explained how he leverages his expertise to share useful insights from extensive data and experiences in the field.
Our Daily Bread With Mory Rugg
Q: Why did you choose to work with wheat specifically?
