AG Squawk with Rachel Fishback | Farmers Need To Tell Their Stories First

Futures Trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone. Past profits are not necessarily indicative of future results/profits.The crop ratings look decent at first glance, then the conversation turns to what’s lurking underneath: heat at the wrong moment, warm nights that don’t let corn “cool down,” and a growing divide between fields that caught the right rain and fields that didn’t. We walk through the latest crop progress numbers, why spring wheat is sliding hard in parts of Montana and the Dakotas, and how a returning heat ridge can quietly change the yield story before the next report even hits.After a quick, practical look at the morning markets across corn, soybeans, wheat, cattle, and lean hogs, I’m joined by Rachel Fishback from Southeast Iowa, better known online as Iowa Farm Mama. Rachel creates Pride of Pork and Pork Industry News on Acres TV, and she’s on a mission to show what people never see: how hog barns are built, why slat and facility remodels are booming as costs surge, and how many skilled people stand behind a “safe, reliable protein” on your plate. She also shares what’s happening outside her window, from violent downpours to river gauges that keep river bottom farmers on edge.We get into the harder stuff too: expensive inputs, stretching manure farther, and the cultural hurdle farmers face when they’re raised to stay humble but the world still demands answers. You’ll leave with a clearer view of Midwest weather risk, pork industry trends, and how to tell an honest farm story without turning it into a sales pitch.
