AOA Friday 6-21-2024

On Friday's AOA, we start the show with an updated preview of the Farm Progress Show and Husker Harvest Days with Farm Progress National Events Manager, Matt Jungmann. In Segment Two, we talk about markets and fundamentals you need to watch for with Total Farm Marketing Senior Market Advisor, Naomi Blohm. Next up in Segment Three, we have a conversation about a new report on the State of American Agriculture and some of the concerns from farmers and ranchers currently in rural America with AgAmerica's Senior Director of Institution Credit, Curt Covington. Finally in Segment Four, we learn about a potentially very impactful energy issue for farmers and ranchers surrounding the NIETC (or National Interest Electric Transmission Corridor) that includes 10 projects across the US, with a footprint in dozens of states. Missouri Farm Bureau President Garrett Hawkins joins us to discuss and share his concerns about "phase two" of this project from the Department of Energy.
