LISTEN: Why ag salaries are on the rise

In any industry, being able to source the right people allows companies to stay on top of the food chain. That’s true of food & agriculture itself – with an extra challenge: in an emerging asset class, investors looking to fill their growing needs rely on a thin pool of talent.
