The Role of Blockchain Technology in Transforming Agriculture
In this episode of American Ag Today, Corryn La Rue dives into how blockchain technology can revolutionize American agriculture. Far beyond cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, blockchain is enhancing transparency, streamlining operations, and opening new market opportunities for farmers. Experts like Mark Tague from CattleProof Verified explain how blockchain’s traceability can boost cattle prices through verified data from birth to processing. Mike Horton from Geodnet Foundation shows how blockchain-driven GPS networks are cutting farming costs with more precise, efficient fieldwork. But it’s not all smooth sailing—rural broadband access remains a challenge. As blockchain grows, so does the need for infrastructure, making it a critical focus for farmers. The episode also explores the push for clear regulations, with Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) shedding light on the ongoing confusion in the digital asset space. Tune in to discover how blockchain is set to transform agriculture—and what’s needed for rural America to lead the way. More information on blockchain technology: This podcast article:
