Today on the Feed Science Podcast Show, I had the pleasure of interviewing William Ashley Biscamp. We delved deep into the realm of the feed industry, unraveling its complexity and intricacies through Ashley's 23-year journey spanning across five states and eleven different feed mills. We highlighted the importance of company culture, employee companionability, and preventive maintenance in fostering a successful and efficient feed industry. The discussion also explored strategies for improvement, such as actively listening to the ground-level workforce and valuing their hands-on insights to avoid larger issues down the line. We also talked about the evolution of the feed industry, recognizing the challenges and providing a fresh perspective on overcoming them.
