The Breakdown with INFB
For more than 100 years, Indiana Farm Bureau has protected and enhanced the future of agriculture and our communities. To continue that legacy and communicate more with our members, we’ve created The Breakdown with INFB, a podcast that will feature prominent leaders in the ag industry, newsmakers and even some average folks with interesting stories to tell.

On this episode, we’re diving into some of the challenges Indiana’s rural communities face and how we might address those challenges in the future.
Rural counties represent 70% of Indiana's land and 64 of its 92 counties, yet they account for just 29% of the state's population. These communities often experience lower income levels, limited access to healthcare services, and worse health outcomes compared to their urban counterparts.
To dig deeper into some of these critical issues, we talk to Dan Hardesty who serves as the Senior Director of Government Affairs for the Indiana Rural Health Association.
