AOA Friday 8-29-2025

Friday on AOA, we start the show with markets in Segment 1 as Mike Zuzolo from Global Commodity Analytics gives us some end of the month perspective. In Segment Two, we learn about a newly proposed FAA rule that would allow drones to operate beyond visual line of sight without expensive waivers. Arthur Erickson, CEO of Hylio, joins us to share more details and talk about what this could mean for drone use in U.S. agriculture. In Segment Three, we hear about a new Consumer Energy Alliance report that warns the growing jet fuel supply constraints could stall this momentum and growth in the industry. David Holt, President of CEA, joins us to discuss that, energy prices, inflation impacts and more on the show. Then we close out the program with a conversation from Farm Progress Show with Shane Gray, who represents Calhoun, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Morgan, Sangamon and Scott Counties for the IL Corn Growers Association.
