Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lindsey Lusher Shute: GrownBy + The Future Of Farmer-Owned Tech
Q: What are the practical advantages of Grown By for farmers today, especially regarding multi-channel sales and SNAP/EBT integration?
Grown By offers a centralized storefront for CSA, direct-to-consumer, and wholesale channels, plus a Register that supports SNAP/EBT, enabling farmers to manage sales, inventory, and customer data in one system, reducing administrative overhead and expanding market access.
Lindsey Lusher Shute: GrownBy + The Future Of Farmer-Owned Tech
Q: What were the key policy and funding wins that helped early-stage farmers, and how did microloans change the game?
The microloan program created by USDA filled a gap by providing needed low-interest capital to young farmers, reducing paperwork and aligning loan sizes with actual farming needs, which significantly broadened access to start-ups and growth for small diversified operations.
Lindsey Lusher Shute: GrownBy + The Future Of Farmer-Owned Tech
Q: Can you give a quick overview of how Grown By came to be and why a farmer-owned cooperative platform was the goal?
The idea emerged after experiences with multiple commercial platforms that price-gouged or competed with farmers; building a cooperatively owned platform would ensure farmers control, fair governance, and a scalable, nationwide solution that truly serves diverse farm operations.
Mara Hoplamazian: PFAS + Safe Drinking Water
Q: What have you learned about the role of regulators and the pace of federal action on PFAS?
Regulators faced a knowledge and timing gap; federal standards only emerged in 2024, while state standards varied and in some cases preceded federal ones, leaving communities managing risk with inconsistent guidance for years.
Mara Hoplamazian: PFAS + Safe Drinking Water
Q: And it looks, it starts with a PFAS pollution in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and the factory there used to produce PFAS-impregnated fabrics; how did you approach the story and what did you find when you started?
I pitched a long-form approach around St. Gobain's closing in Merrimack, exploring how these forever chemicals persist in soil and water, how regulators respond, and how residents—many on bottled water for years—feel about remediation and accountability.
