Eggheads is for people who want to better understand the egg industry and the world surrounding it. Host Greg Schonefeld shares the stories of the people and companies that have shaped agriculture while connecting the different pieces of the industry, from where an egg begins to how it ends up on your plate.
Along the way, you’ll hear from producers, suppliers, and industry leaders, while gaining context for the economic, regulatory, and consumer forces shaping the industry. We look at where the industry has been, where it is today, and where its headed next. Our goal is not only that you gain a broader perspective, but that you gain a broader sense of connection.
In rural America, grain bins are so ubiquitous that you might not even notice them on the landscape. But if you were to stop on your drive home and take a closer look at one, there’s a good chance you’d see the name ‘Sukup’ written on the side.
Steve Sukup is the Chairman of Sukup Manufacturing. Back in 1963, the company started off making grain stirrers, but they’ve since expanded their offerings to become one of the world’s largest manufacturers of grain storage, drying, and handling equipment.
Steve joins us to explain why grain bins are such an integral part of American animal agriculture — including the egg industry, and how a commitment to innovation, along with a willingness to take risks, has led to incredible success.

You’re doing your best to maintain biosecurity, but even perfect protocol isn’t a guarantee. That’s what makes this topic so compelling. And so unsettling.
