LISTEN: Ground Truth Ag puts real-time objectivity into grain grading; here’s how it makes your food safer
October 31, 2025 | Austin Barnes
On this episode of our 12-part Plug and Play Topeka podcast series, we speak with Kyle Folk, CEO and founder of Ground Truth Ag — a next-gen ag-tech company using AI, machine vision and near-infrared spectroscopy to deliver real-time grain-quality data across the farm-to-market workflow.
Folk shares how his upbringing on a Canadian farm inspired the mission; how the company went from a folding-table garage startup to a commercial-ready solution; and why giving farmers and grain handlers instant, objective insight into quality is a game-changer for profitability, trust and transparency.
Recorded live at the Plug and Play Animal Health & AgTech Expo in Topeka, explore how the Midwest agtech corridor surprised this founder as “a lot like home.”
