Futures Trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Past profits are not necessarily indicative of future results/profits.A PTO doesn’t care how experienced you are, how tough you feel, or how fast you think you can move. Today’s conversation is built around that uncomfortable truth, starting with a quick run through the grain, livestock, and energy backdrop producers are juggling right now: diesel price anxiety, crude volatility tied to conflict, and a market mood lift as China books major U.S. soybean purchases. We hit the numbers, the headlines, and what they signal for real farm margins. Then we go deeper with Cathy Egan Spicer of Listen Up Stay Safe. Cathy shares her family’s story from North Dakota after her father was caught in a power take-off while checking grain, a moment that triggered amputations, infection battles, a hyperbaric chamber treatment to stop gas gangrene, and nearly a year of hospitalization and rehab. We talk about the “ripple effect” that reaches far beyond the injured person: spouses, kids, coworkers, the community, and the long-term medical and emotional costs that show up months and years later. We also get practical about preventing the next call nobody wants to make: keeping PTO guards in place, slowing down around rotating equipment, avoiding solo work when possible, and carrying a phone on your body instead of leaving it in the cab. If you’ve ever brushed off a safety reminder because you’ve “done it a thousand times,” this story brings it back to real life. Subscribe, share this with someone who runs equipment, and leave a review so more farm families hear it before harvest gets moving.Tommy's Premium Subscription: www.agbull.comAgBull Audio and Video LinksApple MusicSpotifyYouTubeTikTok Futures Trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
