AND road trip comes to its end with this 70 mile an hour podcast coming at you hot from I-80! USDA unveils a couple of big pieces of news, bioengineered food may finally have a ruling, and meat exports in the news! Plus a great conversation with SD row crop farmer Keith Alverson.
And the road trip continues! Today we've traveled from Clear Lake, Iowa to Dubuque, Iowa with stops along the way with cattle and corn producer Jeff Ryan, Pioneer rep, corn and hog guy Mitch Hemesath, and surprise visitor Paul Hunter! Busy day, but we caught up with Paul at Decorah's own Whippie Dip and ate ice cream and talked issues of the day. Ted Seifried joined to dig in to today's somewhat surprising USDA WASDE report which moved the corn market lower, and Paul shares his farmer perspective on the ongoing trade issues and next years crop.

Happy Fri-YAY y'all! We're ending the week on a fun note by talking to the hosts of another podcast joining the Global Ag Network - Angie Setzer, Karen Corrigan, and Jennifer Campbell! They are the voices behind the Girls Talk Ag podcast and today we chat about why they decided to create a podcast, what their life is like as moms and ag professionals, and some of the fun things they've encountered on their journey. We also hit some not-as-much-fun-news as farm income is predicted to drop again this year and a NAFTA signing by the end of today is looking less and less likely. But it's worth listening anyway, and subscribing any place you get podcasts!
A third and final great day at the Farm Progress Show 2018! Yesterday we had the chance to catch Secretary Sonny Perdue during and after his talk to the attendees at the show here and Boone and he did address several issues that farmers have been talking quite a bit about recently - WOTUS, NAFTA, and ethanol to name a few and we have a few of his clips to play today. We also snagged a little time with Iowa farmer and NCGA board member Kevin Ross for his thoughts on the administration and current goings-on in the world of agriculture; and we got to spend more time with our friends at Camso talking high speed tracks for road travel and remanufactured tracks for growers looking for a lower cost replacement option!
