One of the last USDA crop progress report updates before harvest, yield and in-the-field updates from the Pro Farmer Crop Tour, how agriculture was included at the Democratic National Convention, an update on an ongoing Canadian rail worker strike and global market expectations for crop resources including Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash are some of this week’s headlines.

This week, we’re welcoming a new Ag News Daily team member and recent University of Wisconsin-River Falls undergraduate Michelle Stangler. We hear what she’s looking forward to at the Farm Progress Show next week, what started her love for agriculture and storytelling on her family’s dairy farm and how she’s creating ways to share resources and opportunities for young people in agriculture on the Positivity in Ag podcast. You can connect with Michelle and send her ideas at michelle@agnewsdaily.com!
