In this week’s episode, we provide updates on weather, harvest conditions across the Midwest, market trends, and top agricultural news. We cover former President Donald Trump's warning to John Deere over potential tariffs if they shift production to Mexico, and how an FFA alumnus is raising awareness with a 2,000-mile tractor and camper journey. You'll also hear about USDA investments and a new bill aimed at tightening eligibility for the 45Z Clean Fuel Production tax credit. Additionally, we discuss the looming threat of a port strike affecting more than 30 U.S. ports and its potential impact on agriculture, along with the latest Farm Bill developments.

In our featured interview, Dr. Clayton Nevins, senior agronomic scientist with Pivot Bio, explains the importance of nitrogen management for crop growth and how his research is enhancing crop resiliency.
