CARMEL, Ind. (July 7, 2026) — SEPRO ScientificTM, formerly known as SePRO Corporation, today announced the launch of a comprehensive brand refresh that unifies the company’s Water and Land divisions under the SEPRO Scientific name. The evolution reflects the company’s continued focus on delivering customer value through science-led insights, digitally-integrated solutions, and measurable outcomes, while reinforcing its long-standing commitment to science as the foundation for solving complex environmental challenges.
This transformation builds on the company’s 30-year legacy of solving complex environmental challenges while strategically positioning it for the future of water health, land management, and digital innovation.

The updated brand supports SEPRO’s continued commitment to research, innovation, and partnerships that protect, preserve, and restore natural ecosystems. As the company scales its digital capabilities and integrated solutions, the refreshed brand provides a strong foundation for the next chapter of impact and growth as a leader in environmental health.

Keystone Cooperative today announced the selection of Scott Logue as the next Chief Executive Officer, a leadership transition that supports the organization’s continued evolution and long-term growth strategy. Logue will succeed Kevin Still, who is retiring on September 1 after an extraordinary 42-year career leading the cooperative and championing the success of family farms across the region.
Keystone Cooperative is one of the nation’s largest and most diversified agricultural cooperatives, serving approximately 20,000 farmer-owners across Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. With 245 locations, nearly 2,000 employees, and core business divisions spanning energy, agronomy, grain, swine, and animal nutrition, Keystone combines the strength and scale of a regional enterprise with the local relationships and cooperative values that have supported farm families and rural communities for nearly a century.
The selection follows a rigorous and comprehensive search process led by Keystone’s Board of Directors. In partnership with an external search firm, the Board evaluated a highly qualified pool of both internal and external candidates, assessing leadership experience, strategic vision, and the ability to lead a cooperative of Keystone’s scale, complexity, and future opportunity.
“This transition represents both continuity and opportunity for Keystone,” said Bill Peters, Chairman of the Board. “As we look ahead, the Board has full confidence in Logue to carry forward Keystone’s cooperative strength while building on the values, relationships, and farmer-first commitment that have defined the organization for generations.”
Logue brings more than 29 years of cooperative leadership experience, advancing from frontline roles to executive leadership within the cooperative system. Raised on an Indiana farm and a graduate of the Ball State University Entrepreneurship Program, he served as CEO of Harvest Land Cooperative, now part of Keystone, before becoming Executive Vice President following the merger. His experience spans all facets of operations, most recently serving as Chief Operating Officer, where he helped lead Keystone Cooperative’s nearly $3 billion, multi-state operation. His extensive governance experience, including leadership roles with Land O’Lakes and service on national cooperative councils, further underscores his deep understanding of cooperative strategy and farmer-member needs.
“Keystone’s future will be defined by our ability to grow with purpose, strengthen the long-term sustainability of the cooperative, and continue evolving how we serve the market as a cooperative built for the future,” said Jeremy Mills, Vice Chair of the Board. “The Board fully endorses Logue and is confident in his ability to advance that vision while honoring the legacy and relationships that have made Keystone strong.”
Logue spoke to the opportunity ahead, noting, “It is an honor to step into this role and lead such a high-performing, fiscally strong, and growth-oriented cooperative. Keystone’s strength lies in its people, its membership, and its deep commitment to the future of agriculture. I look forward to working alongside our team to continue driving innovation, supporting family farms, and ensuring long-term success for the cooperative.”
A formal introduction of Logue will take place at Keystone’s Co-op Classic, a full-day event designed to give farmers access to insights and trusted partners while allowing them to experience the Cooperative Advantage. The Co-op Classic will be held Thursday, August 20, at Keystone’s Scircleville location, located at 16 S 1100 E, Frankfort, Indiana. Logue will take the main stage at 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time.

Key Takeaways
INDIANAPOLIS — June 18, 2026 — Intelinair has launched the AGMRI AI Agent, an AI capability inside the AGMRI platform that lets agronomic advisors and growers ask questions and receive field-level answers in seconds. Now live, the AGMRI AI Agent is built on the agronomic data already in AGMRI: multi-source imagery, soil characteristics, weather, input applications, field boundaries, and historical yield outcomes.
The AGMRI AI Agent is purpose-built for agronomy, not adapted from a general-purpose AI tool. Advisors and growers are using it to ask questions such as “Which hybrids performed best on my high-productivity ground last season?” or “Where should I prioritize replant across these fields?” and receive answers grounded in their own data, eliminating hours of manual report pulling and cross-referencing.
“Agriculture has never had a shortage of data; it has had a shortage of time,” said Conner Schmidt, Commercial Leader of Intelinair. “Advisors are managing hundreds of grower accounts, and every recommendation carries weight. The AGMRI AI Agent gives them a way to surface the right insight on the right acre, instantly, without sacrificing the agronomic rigor behind it, and teams are already putting it to work this 2026 crop season.”
What the AGMRI AI Agent does
Agronomic advisors and growers are using the AGMRI AI Agent across five core use cases:

New corporate venture capital platform will invest to advance therapeutics, technologies and One Health solutions
INDIANAPOLIS (June 18, 2026) – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today announced plans to establish Elanco Ventures, a dedicated corporate venture capital (CVC) platform designed to support, invest and advance innovation in animal health.
To be backed by a $25 million multi-year commitment, Elanco Ventures will initially focus on strategic investments in therapeutic advancements and supportive technologies across the animal health sector.
“From pets to protein – the animal health industry has never been more relevant than it is today,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO of Elanco. “Innovation is happening outside of the boundaries of any single company. Elanco Ventures allows us to strategically leverage the startup landscape to expand our visibility into a range of emerging technologies that help us meet pet owners’ evolving expectation of care and the increasing global demand for protein.”
While primarily focused on animal health, the fund may also explore opportunities within the broader One Health landscape. It will also leverage the proximity of partnerships within the One Health Innovation District in Indianapolis, anchored by Elanco and Purdue University, and designed to bring together life sciences, researchers, and entrepreneurs in one place to break innovation barriers and accelerate progress.
“Elanco Ventures embodies our commitment to partnership and innovation,” said Tim Bettington, Executive Vice President, Center of Strategic Growth at Elanco. “By identifying promising startup technologies and collaborating with the One Health Innovation District, we are better positioned to fast-track innovation that can redefine the future of animal health.”
Launching in late 2026, Elanco Ventures will be overseen by Eric Steager, an experienced CVC leader, and focus on early-stage companies, prioritizing Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A stages of development.
Hoosier Ag Today (HAT), Indiana’s premier agricultural radio network and digital news source, today announced a groundbreaking strategic partnership with Circle City Broadcasting (CCB) to dramatically expand agricultural television coverage across the state. Under the new agreement, WRTV-ABC will officially become “Indiana’s Ag TV Station,” powered in part by the trusted, daily reporting of Hoosier Ag Today.
For two decades, Hoosier Ag Today has been the backbone of farm broadcasting in Indiana. This first-of-its-kind collaboration between a local agricultural media organization and a major broadcast television company will bring critical farm, agribusiness, and rural community stories into mainstream television markets.
“We’ve been fortunate enough to tell agriculture’s story on the radio for the past 20 years across this great state, becoming Indiana’s most trusted ag source,” said Eric Pfeiffer, president of Hoosier Ag Today. “We’re thrilled to partner with CCB to expand that reach into the television space, bridging the longstanding gap in understanding between the agricultural community and the broader public.”
While WRTV-ABC will carry the designation of “Indiana’s Ag TV Station,” agricultural content produced through this partnership will be amplified across all of Circle City Broadcasting’s major platforms. This includes the WISH-TV statewide network (covering Fort Wayne, South Bend, Chicago/NW Indiana, and Lousville/Southern Indiana markets), MyINDY-TV 23 (WNDY), and all associated digital and social media channels.
The partnership will launch with daily agricultural news segments integrated directly into local newscasts, with plans to expand programming in the near future.
“The importance of agriculture to our Indiana community deserves a consistent, in-depth presence in mainstream media,” said DuJuan McCoy, owner, president, and CEO of Circle City Broadcasting. “CCB is proud to lead this important and long-overdue initiative. Our partnership with Hoosier Ag Today—recognized as a trusted digital and radio source for farmers since 2006—marks a historic step forward for Indiana broadcasting.”
“Our radio network has built an incredibly loyal, daily audience of farmers who rely on us for critical market and weather data and ag news that impacts their operations,” Pfeiffer added. “This partnership doesn’t shift our focus; it amplifies it. By pairing the dominant reach of our radio footprint with the incredible visual storytelling power of television, we are creating an unprecedented media powerhouse that serves both the producer in the field and the consumer at home.”
The collaborative agricultural news initiative is scheduled to officially launch on-air during the third quarter of this year on WRTV-ABC.
