AOA 8-2-2024

On Friday's AOA, we start the show with a look at the commodity markets and perspective from Don Roose with U.S. Commodities. In Segment Two, we get an ag lender viewpoint of the overall ag economy picture right now. Tara Durbin, Farm Credit Mid-America's Chief Lending Officer for Agriculture, joins the show for a conversation. Then in Segment Three, we get a different viewpoint on the potential security risks posed by Chinese made drones that we discussed a few weeks ago on AOA. Mariah Scott is the CEO of Rantizo and a member of the American Spray Drone Coalition. She joins the show for a conversation about this issue and why spray drones may not pose the security risks that some people are claiming they do. Then in Segment Four, we wrap the show with ag news headlines including some the latest drops in earnings for ag companies and more.
