Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Top Producer Podcast: Bill Sauter, SBG Ag
Q: Does it take two years, three years to really get them up to where they're full speed, what's that normal cycle for dealing with a farmer that's very interested in your product?
Sauter says he builds relationships rather than pursuing quick sales. He starts by understanding a farmer's goals and challenges, then works on specific problems such as standing water, compaction, or recurring crop stress.
Top Producer Podcast: Bill Sauter, SBG Ag
Q: Are there other products that you also distribute, or are you looking at other products?
Sauter says they are testing organic versions of their products, but certification and the scale needed to supply them nationwide remain considerations. The business currently focuses on APS-80 water management surfactant and Neutra Plant micronutrients.
Top Producer Podcast: Tim Schnabel, Switch Bioworks
Q: So Tim, before the break, we sort of mentioned the history of biologicals. How long has this really been going?
Tim explains the progression from generation one microbes that can fix nitrogen but don't share it, to generation two with genetic engineering to extract ammonia, and finally to Switch Bioworks' third generation with switchable ammonia production and consortia for reliability.
Top Producer Podcast: Ben Williamson, Grid Road Parters
Q: What signals do you look for in due diligence beyond the technology?
Market validation through customer input, revenue milestones, regulatory or IP progress, and especially feedback from a dozen potential customers to confirm the problem and willingness to pay.
Top Producer Podcast: Ben Williamson, Grid Road Parters
Q: How do you approach leadership and board involvement with portfolio companies?
They prefer to lead where possible but emphasize not micromanaging; they build a bench of experts to sit on boards and support the company rather than constant direct oversight.
