I'm excited and proud to launch The Future of Beef Show (www.futureofbeef.com) with American Cattlemen hosted by Jim Johnson from Brands and Barbed Wire, along with myself and Jessica Sperber, Ph.D. from UNL Along with our inspiring line-up of guests - such as Lamar Steiger, John Schroeder, Troy Marshall and Nick Jorgensen - we'll be sharing what the top of the industry is doing right now, as well as guiding producers in how to practically adopt the technologies and ideas that are rapidly changing the beef industry. I founded Breedr to empower the ranching and cattle community with data, joining the dots between cattlemen and consumers and providing the real-time insights they need to drive radical improvements - and margins - across the entire supply chain.

We're excited to share the launch of Afresh's #AI-powered Food Service solution with Fresh Thyme Market ! Food Service and Deli departments are extremely popular with shoppers, but contain some of the most complex categories of fresh food. This complexity makes them hard to operate and has historically meant that they have the highest percentage of food waste in the grocery store. We're thrilled to tackle that waste and create even fresher food with Fresh Thyme! https://lnkd.in/gJKgCnM8
