Red Gold, the second largest manufacturer of tomato products in the United States, sets the record straight on ketchup. Red Gold wants to make it clear; there is no shortage of ketchup.
Over the last ten months, the increased demand for ketchup packets exceeded inventory capacity for some suppliers. As Red Gold prepared for the surge, the company developed two new pre-portioned ketchup items on other manufacturing lines, while continuing to keep the ketchup packet lines running at maximum efficiency.
In May 2020, the Midwest tomato manufacturer created a production plan that doubled capacity. Red Gold and its many Foodservice Distributor partners stepped in with their brands to ease the pain that was felt by many foodservice operators allocated early on by the other national brand. Nearly a year later, the surge in ketchup packet demand has not subsided and only continues to increase as the fear of the ‘Next Toilet Paper’ arises in customers and buyers across the country.
It is the time for flexibility, however not at the cost of convenience or profitability for restaurant operators. Red Gold can provide alternate ketchup packaging options.
IRI reports consumer unit purchases reflect: 57% Heinz, 29% Retail Store Brands, and 14% other manufacturer brands.* Other media reports are unclear stating that Heinz holds nearly 70% of the retail ketchup while actually reporting consumer dollars in the category.**
That same IRI report also indicates that the entire ketchup category in retail has increased 15%, while Red Gold branded ketchup has outperformed the category with 34% positive growth.*
This information clearly indicates that consumers have actively demonstrated their acceptance for other brands of America’s favorite condiment. Red Gold encourages you to be loyal to the brand that’s loyal to you. Red Gold, American owned and manufactured entirely in the U.S., has been producing ketchup and tomato products for nearly 80 years. The business started in service to American heroes fighting in WWII and will ready its team to support the Foodservice Operators fighting to bring their business back all across the country.
We applaud Foodservice Operators for their flexibility, ingenuity and perseverance as they have managed the changes in operations through the pandemic.

A small software company based in Jay County is playing a major role in helping global agriculture companies fulfill their sustainability initiatives, while also helping farmers earn a premium for their crops.
The MyFarms platform helps farmers track their production practices, including data on erosion rates and water, air and soil quality.
In an interview with Inside INdiana Business, MyFarms founder and chief executive officer Chris Fennig said the environmental impact is a key component.
“It’s a platform that is built with the farmer in mind but also caters to some of the world’s largest businesses that want to empower farmers but also want to track progress toward environmental goals that they have as a company,” said Fennig.
One such company is Germany-based BASF, which owns two of the most well-known cotton seed varieties in the U.S.
“For consumers, knowing where cotton comes from and how it is grown is increasingly important. It is a story we value, and one we can help share,” Malin Westfall, U.S. Cotton Lead for BASF, said in a news release when the company launched its sustainability program.
DeMario Vitalis sits in a 40-foot-by-10-foot container reflecting on his family’s past and his future—and the roots that tie them together.
The windowless container the size of a semitrailer sits on a former used-car lot on the distinctly urban near-east side.
It’s an odd place to find a farmer. But that’s exactly what Vitalis is, and he’s sitting in his new-age field of dreams.
The quarter-acre lot is one of a small handful Vitalis owns. The others have houses and serve as Airbnb rentals. As he pondered what to do with this vacant lot, his thoughts drifted back to his family’s distant past working Mississippi fields. Perhaps this empty lot could be a new kind of farm, and he could be a new kind of high-tech farmer.
In 2018, Vitalis started his long road to launching New Age Provisions Farms, an indoor hydroponics farm that grows leafy greens, herbs and hemp with nutrient-enriched water only—no soil.
After more than two years of planning and wrestling with the U.S. Department of Agriculture over a loan, Vitalis got his first container operational last August. He started his second container in February and has room for two more on the East Washington Street lot surrounded by a brewery, a diner and a Dairy Queen.
Vitalis, a descendant of cotton-plantation slaves and sharecroppers, can’t help but smile at the notion of owning a farm.
“My ancestors have been working the land for a very long time,” said Vitalis, a 42-year-old father of two daughters. “Owning my own farm is like a dream.”
But getting here wasn’t always dream-like. Vitalis initially applied for a $50,000 loan through the USDA. But the agency questioned his projections and his lack of farming experience.
“They were used to looking at projections for horizontal farming, and I was presenting plans and projections for vertical farming,” he said.
A Purdue University-affiliated startup is advancing the development of antiviral therapeutics in the fight against COVID-19 and other viral diseases.
Phytoption LLC, in the Purdue Research Park, has been working on the commercialization of Purdue initiated OHPP nanotechnology that significantly boosts drug solubility. A soluble niclosamide drug formulation has been developed using such technology.
Niclosamide, a drug used to treat tapeworms, has been found to have a broad-spectrum antiviral effect against many viruses including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 pandemic. But the drug itself has limited potential because its structure makes it difficult to dissolve and for patients to absorb, especially in convenient dosage forms.
The Purdue and Phytoption teams worked with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to understand key requirements to further develop soluble niclosamide drugs. They received support from the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund and have conducted key studies with scientists at Purdue, including Thomas Sors, assistant director of the Purdue Institute of Inflammation, Immunology and Infectious Disease (PI4D).
“One of our key missions in PI4D is to connect our faculty members through our extensive research networks to accelerate the translation of their innovations,” Sors said.
The team has completed pilot studies working with the University of Chicago, and the Translational Pharmacology Facility and the Metabolomic Profiling Facility at Purdue’s Bindley Bioscience Center.
“Our oral formulation has shown outstanding bioavailability and prolonged release of niclosamide that has not been achieved by any other known technology,” said Yuan Yao, a Purdue professor of food science.
Joanne Zhang, CEO of Phytoption, said, “We are incredibly thankful for the support from the grant sources and Purdue collaborators.”
The team is looking for additional partnerships and support. For more information, email [email protected].

Marian University has received a $648,845 Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund the STEM Round Table Scholars program, which will provide scholarships (renewable for up to four years of a student’s degree plan), support for underrepresented students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and a community to develop skills and provide support.
The S-STEM program addresses the need for a high-quality STEM workforce in areas of national priorities and seeks to increase and understand the success of low-income, academically talented students with demonstrated financial need who are pursuing associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in STEM.
“This is most certainly an exciting new opportunity for Marian University to advance its mission to serve underrepresented, diverse students in STEM and to develop its vision for an outstanding research and grants culture,” said Alan Silva, Ph.D., executive vice president and provost. “This is an especially noteworthy award as it will foster a new relationship with the National Science Foundation. It has been 25 years since our last NSF grant and our largest award ever was $30,000.”
The STEM Round Table Scholars will participate in activities that build relationships with their peers, engage with the idea of developing their identity as scientists, engineers, and mathematicians, and explore the concepts of ethics in research activities. The program will also utilize the Walker Center for Applied Ethics and the Center for Academic Success and Engagement to support the growth and development of scholarship recipients both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities.
In addition to academic content, Round Table Scholars will engage with local alumni and workforce partners to help participants grow relationships that will help them thrive beyond their undergraduate experience.
“I am incredibly excited about the opportunities this grant will offer our STEM majors in the years to come,” said Chris Nicholson, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry and chair of the Department of Chemistry and Physical Sciences. “In addition to supporting students in the pursuit of their career dreams, this project will allow us to focus on some of the truly Marian aspects of modern STEM education. These include helping students develop an identity as practitioners of scientific disciplines and understanding the role of ethics in every aspect of scientific study. All around us we see the legacy of unethical practices in science, and in collaboration with the Walker Center for Applied Ethics, we look forward to helping develop scientists who understand the social and ethical implications of their work.”
Applications for the STEM Round Table Scholars program will be available shortly with the first cohort beginning in Fall 2021.

Wabash Heartland Innovation Network has allocated two million dollars to the school corporations in the 10-county WHIN region to provide broadband solutions for students who do not have adequate access to the internet for schoolwork, according to information from the network.
The allocation is the first of a three-year, six-million-dollar project to improve student connectivity in the region. North Central Health Services is a partner in the initiative.
“WHIN is committed to helping the Wabash Heartland become the most connected rural region in the state,” says WHIN CEO, Johnny Park. “Even when students are in class in person, they need online access outside of school for homework, projects, and school-related activities.”
“Internet availability and connectivity are challenges that have long plagued rural school corporations and are issues that were magnified by the need for virtual learning opportunities during the pandemic,” says Dr. Shawn Greiner, Superintendent of Southmont Schools, one of the school corporations receiving an allocation. “We are grateful for this grant opportunity to help our students thrive and succeed, regardless of where they live.”
Schools may use their allocations to provide plans to students that are compatible with their school-issued Chromebooks and iPads. In the short run, that can include personal hotspots. The funding is also available for teachers who do not have adequate access to prepare and conduct lessons from home.
“All students and teachers should be able to stream videos and participate in video conferencing,” says WHIN VP of Broadband Partnerships, Greg Jarman. “In or out of a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual platforms are here to stay.
WHIN’s long term broadband strategy includes helping school corporations find more permanent, network-based solutions.
“We look forward to working with the region’s school corporations to understand their needs,” says Jarman. “We can help connect them with the latest, most innovative broadband technology so that students have the safe, filtered access they need.”
WHIN VP of Engagement, Pat Corey says that school corporations were very responsive to the initiative.
“We know there are at least 1,000 students that WHIN will be able to help immediately,” says Corey. “The funds can continue data plans for students on grants that are expiring and can help students who either have no access presently or whose access does not support video streaming.
The funds can also be used for students who have an economic need. “We know households have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Corey.
The funds will be administered by school corporations, who will identify participating students and teachers.
“Every school corporation is different,” says Corey. “Some have a lot of need; others have been able to find workarounds. We want to meet them where they are, on the timetable that works for them.

Anthem Foundation commits $2.45M to Fund Three-Year Neighborhood Initiative
Anthem Foundation and LISC Indianapolis are launching a major effort to improve nutritious food access and help build a more equitable food system. The initiative is a commitment to increase sustainable access to nutritious food by empowering and investing in a community-driven plan. Anthem Foundation has committed $2.45 million over a three-year period to LISC Indianapolis to create and coordinate this approach to a systemic issue. Beginning this year, the initiative will implement evidence-based strategies with the goal of increasing equitable food access and food security efforts in one Indianapolis community.
“Food insecurity is present in every neighborhood across our country, including in our headquarters city of Indianapolis. Building on our community-driven legacy, and vision to enable a system of health,not just healthcare, we are excited to launch this effort in collaboration with a leading local advocate, that will help us re-think our food system from the ground up,” said Shantanu Agrawal, M.D., Chief Health Officer, Anthem, Inc. “Ridding the country of this pressing issue will require bold ideas and community collaboration.”
Food security is the most commonly reported unmet social need in the United States – with nearly 40% of households reporting moderate to high levels of food insecurity. Its impact is felt in every community across the country; however, the crisis is far worse in certain communities, with significant disparity experienced just miles apart. Anthem’s Close to Home food insecurity tool, which maps publicly available food insecurity data in every zip code in America, helps put the scale of this crisis into context, and tracks the drivers of disparity. For instance, in central Indiana alone, Marion County experiences childhood food insecurity at nine percent higher rates than neighboring Hamilton County. This disparity, fueled by access to nutritious food and underpinned by race, ethnic, and economic differences, leads to significant disparities in health outcomes – and underlines why a broad and systemic approach to solving food access and security is required.
In recent years, Anthem has been deeply focused on addressing food security and the inconsistent and insufficient access to nutritious food, along with other critical factors that influence the whole health of individuals, families and communities. By addressing these critical social drivers of health, which include access to transportation, housing, technology, and environmental factors, Anthem is focused on the often unmet elements which can make the difference in health and prosperity.
“We are grateful for Anthem Foundation’s commitment to addressing food access in Indianapolis neighborhoods by investing in this comprehensive and collaborative initiative,” said Jessica Guilfoy, Vice President of Field Excellence for LISC. “More than ever before, we need solutions that not only directly impact food insecurity and improve healthy food access, but also support economic mobility, racial equity, and community resiliency.”
How the Initiative will Work
Through collaboration with partners, including Indianapolis’ new Division of Community Nutrition and Policy, LISC Indianapolis will facilitate neighborhood selection through an open and inclusive process. Each community will determine which food projects will be supported, launched or expanded. Examples include but are not limited to community kitchens, infrastructure support for farmers, grocery projects, mobile markets and more. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring all projects improve food access and economic mobility for the neighborhood, are community-led, and help build racial equity.
The streamlined RFP process for neighborhood selection will open on April 8. LISC is collaborating with Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center to facilitate a virtual community training to assist neighborhoods in developing a collaborative proposal in response to the RFP. This training will take place on April 1. Once the neighborhood is selected for investment, a community-based planning and implementation process will begin that convenes residents, community leaders, subject matter experts and civic organizations to develop a vision of equitable food access, coupled with strategies for physical developments, programmatic partnerships and investment to achieve that vision. Moving forward, Anthem Foundation will continue to work with other philanthropic and business partners in Indianapolis to develop the fund to support additional neighborhoods.
The Anthem Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Anthem, Inc. and through charitable contributions and programs, the Foundation promotes the organization’s commitment to improving lives and communities. Through strategic partnerships and programs, the Foundation addresses the social drivers that will help create a healthier generation of Americans in communities that Anthem, Inc. and its affiliated health plans serve. The Foundation focuses its funding on critical initiatives that make up its Healthy Generations Program, a multi-generational initiative that targets: maternal health, diabetes prevention, cancer prevention, heart health and healthy, active lifestyles, behavioral health efforts and programs that benefit people with disabilities. The Foundation also coordinates the company’s year-round Dollars for Dollars program which provides a 100 percent match of associates’ donations, as well as its Volunteer Time Off and Dollars for Doers community service programs.
Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Indianapolis is the local office of a national organization that helps resident-led, community-based development organizations transform distressed communities and neighborhoods into healthy ones — good places to live, do business, work, and raise families. By providing capital, technical expertise, training, and information, LISC supports the development of local leadership and the creation of affordable housing; commercial, industrial, and community facilities; businesses; and jobs. In short, we help neighbors build communities.
Vincennes University has received a grant of $8 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. through the competitive Phase 3 of its initiative, Charting the Future of Indiana’s Colleges and Universities. The grant will help VU build a talent pipeline for “Industry 4.0” in advanced automation and collaborative robots, or cobots, and support the creation of the Center for Applied Robotics and Automation.
Industry 4.0 is the combination of traditional manufacturing and industrial platforms and practices with the latest smart technology.
VU will focus on the emerging technology of cobots. These smaller industrial robots are designed to safely interact with humans in a shared workspace. Cobots can be additional support for workers, giving them an extra set of hands in the shared workspace. Their use can increase safety, production, and efficiency.
VU is one of 16 Indiana colleges and universities that will be supported by funding in the final phase of Charting the Future, an initiative designed to help colleges and universities in Indiana assess and prioritize the most significant challenges and opportunities they face as higher education institutions and develop strategies to address them.
According to VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson, “Thank you to Lilly Endowment Inc. We are thrilled that Vincennes University is a grant recipient of Charting the Future for Indiana’s College and University initiative. These are transformational times in Indiana and globally. This grant elevates and accelerates our work with many partners in helping students gain new and modern skills suitable for 21st-century jobs. This is an incredible opportunity to help shape the future of the state’s economy and workforce.”
In collaboration with the University’s partners, including Telamon Corporation and Techman Robot, VU plans to develop a workforce ecosystem for Industry 4.0 in Indiana with the Center for Applied Robotics and Automation serving as a training lab and hub for the development of curricula and credentials related to cobots throughout the state. The center will provide training for students in manufacturing and logistics.
The grant will also help VU expand its ongoing efforts to develop and promote Industry 4.0 education and training to K-12 students.
Cobot learning labs will be deployed/set up at sites in Vincennes, Jasper, and Central Indiana, as well as in career centers throughout the state.
VU anticipates offering scholarships to students enrolling in traditional academic programs leading to credentials and degrees. It also plans to extend endeavors to reach students by engaging them in STEM-focused programming, building on existing partnerships with CTE educators throughout the state and VU’s collaboration with Purdue’s Indiana Manufacturing Competitiveness Center (IN-MaC). In conjunction with those efforts, the University intends to develop cobot competitions and boot camps to promote Industry 4.0 technologies and engage educators, students, parents, and employers.
The grant will also support VU’s ground-breaking work with ElevenFifty Academy in the development of Indiana’s cyber security workforce. A portion of the grant will fund a Progressive Income Share Agreement (PISA) an innovative alternative for providing financial assistance to students enrolled in the joint ElevenFifty/VU program.
“Indiana’s colleges and universities face myriad challenges as they work to fulfill their educational missions while adapting to growing financial pressures, rapid demographic and technological changes, and evolving needs and demands of students,” said Ted Maple, the Endowment’s vice president for education. “We are pleased with the creative and collaborative approaches the colleges and universities are taking to address these challenges and seize opportunities to better serve their students, institutions, communities and the state of Indiana.”
Lilly Endowment launched the three-phased Charting the Future initiative in 2019 to help leaders of the state’s 38 colleges and universities engage in thoughtful discernment about the future of their institutions and to advance strategic planning and implementation efforts to address key challenges and opportunities. Collaboration was encouraged, especially in the third phase of Charting the Future, and several schools proposed collaborative programs and strategies. Through three phases of grantmaking, Lilly Endowment awarded more than $138 million to the schools.
Through earlier rounds of the initiative, all 38 schools received planning grants, which were approved in December 2019, and implementation grants approved in June and September 2020. The implementation grants funded strategies to improve efforts to prepare students for successful futures and strengthen the schools’ long-term institutional vitality.
SYRACUSE – An agripreneur from northern Indiana has developed a piece of equipment that is more at home in the almond orchards of California than in corn and soybean fields of the Hoosier State.
Anna Haldewang is founder and chief executive officer of Syracuse-based InsightTRAC, a startup that is catching the attention of California’s multi-billion-dollar almond industry.
She designed an autonomous, tracked machine that hunts and removes rotten almonds, known as mummy nuts in the industry, from trees.
“It was not removed during harvest and so it stays on the trees in the winter. A pest called navel orangeworm…will hibernate inside of this mummy during the wintertime and then in the spring it will emerge into a moth and it will damage the quality and yield of next year’s crop,” explained Haldesang, in an interview with Inside INdiana Business.
Almond growers are unable to market nuts infested with navel orangeworms because the larvae feed on the nutmeats.
“The best time to remove this costly pest is in the winter when they’re hibernating and they’re not flying around,” explained Haldewang.
The rover rolls down the rows of almonds orchards, searching and learning as it goes. With its site-tracking technology, a camera spots and targets mummy nuts.
The GPS-enabled machine then uses an air-powered gun to shoot down the target with biodegradable pellets.
“And while it’s targeting and removing mummies from the trees, the system is collecting data about every tree, every variety and every acre in the orchard,” said Haldewang. “In the end, we’ll be able to provide the grower with a report… we’ll be able to tell them where they were heaviest in the orchard with mummies, where they are lightest, and how many mummies we removed.”
She says farmers can then take the information and leverage the cloud-based data to better manage and optimize their profit per tree.
Haldewang says her technology replaces machines that shake entire trees. Other almond growers use farmworkers to manually knock down mummy nuts with long poles. She says the rover will be equal to or slightly lower cost per acre than the manual approach.
“InsightTRAC removes the labor challenge many face by automating mummy removal, we are creating a more reliable solution and generating new data insights for growers to use in addressing mummies in the future,” claimed Haldewang.
This is not Haldwang’s first venture into pollinators and the crops that rely on them. As part of a class project in college, she created a pollinating drone, called Plan B, as she learned about the decline of bees.
“I created that pollinating drone to be an educational tool to connect you, the drone and nature, which is what set me on this track towards starting the company and figuring out that the almond market was where I needed to be.”
And then her focus shifted from airborne technology to ground robotics.
With more than 100,000 living alumni worldwide, more than 10 federally funded centers that have at least $10 million each in research funding, the largest academic propulsion lab in the world in Zucrow labs and real-world experiential learning for its graduate and undergraduate students, Purdue Engineering attracts the top STEM students from around the world.
These strengths show in the rankings.
The U.S. News & World Report on Tuesday (March 30) released its annual rankings of Best Graduate Schools, and for Purdue, it continues to tell a story of success. In fact, even more success.
Purdue’s College of Engineering moved up three spots – from No. 7 to No. 4 – in this year’s rankings and now sits at its highest spot since 1994. It is No. 2 among all U.S. public universities, trailing only the University of California, Berkeley. Purdue shares the fourth spot with the California Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University.
“The 2022 ranking of graduate and research programs puts Purdue Engineering in the country’s top five, as it did last time in 1993-94. This might also be the first time that a college of our size, with 14,000 undergraduate and graduate students and another 3,000 online, has ever reached the No. 4 spot in this ranking,” said Mung Chiang, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering. “It is a reflection of our faculty, staff and students’ success in reaching the pinnacle of excellence at scale.”
Purdue’s Agricultural and Biological Engineering graduate program also continues to soar. It returned from last year’s No. 2 ranking to the top spot this year. That gives Purdue a sweep of the No. 1 spots in both the graduate list and the undergraduate rankings for the program, which were released in September. Purdue’s undergraduate ABE program has held the top spot for a full decade.
“The College of Agriculture celebrates the No. 1 ranking our graduate agricultural and biological engineering program has earned,” said Karen Plaut, the Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture. “I thank our dedicated faculty and staff members, led by Nate Mosier, for their commitment to graduate education and for their advancement of innovative and globally renowned research.”
In other engineering graduate school rankings, aeronautics and astronautics, civil, industrial, and mechanical engineering are all ranked among the top 10 in the U.S., and six of the 12 engineering departments ranked improved their ranking while three stayed at the same spot.
In other rankings:
Graduate Business: The Krannert School of Management moved a whopping 36 spots – from 80th to 44th. Purdue’s graduate program in production operations moved from fifth to third. Purdue is eighth in supply chain management, ninth in business analytics and 53rd in part-time MBA programs.
Economics: 49th.
Graduate Education: Purdue is 51st overall and 26th in education administration.
In health, humanities and social science categories, Purdue is 31st in nursing, 46th in English, 54th in sociology, 63rd in political science and 73rd in history.
The latest graduate rankings add to a growing list of accolades from the U.S. News annual lists. In September’s rankings for Best Undergraduate Schools, Purdue was listed as the fifth most innovative school in the country.
Purdue is regarded for its persistent pursuit of innovation where people bring their best and learn to build a better world together. Its pillars of affordability and accessibility, online learning, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) leadership, transformative education and world-changing research support its land-grant mission, as captured in the university’s mantra, “The Next Giant Leap” (see YouTube video highlighting Purdue pillars). The university in December announced its 10th straight tuition freeze.
