AOA Friday 5-16-2026

On Friday's AOA, powered by Cenex, we take a look at the latest ag equipment sales numbers for North America with Curt Blades from the Association of Equipment Manufacturers followed by our bi-weekly conversation with USDA Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Fordyce in Segment Two. Then we spend the remainder of the show listening to a conversation that Jesse Allen had earlier in the week regarding the continued cost price squeeze on farmers' bottom lines with Dr. Michael Deliberto from the LSU Ag Center.
