AOA Tuesday 5-5-2026

On Tuesday's AOA, powered by Cenex, we start the show by discussing the need for effective state policy following the robust RVO announcement from the EPA a few weeks ago. Jeffrey Earl, Director of State Governmental Affairs for Clean Fuels Alliance America joins us. In Segment Two, as we head into hay season, that means pulling the mower out of storage and asking a familiar question: Is this thing going to cut it this year? (literally) Alan Osterhaus, Territory Product Specialist for Hay and Forage at CLAAS, joins us for a conversation. In Segment Three, we discuss equipment sales trends for grain carts, 4WD tractors and ag telehandlers with Andy Campbell, Director of Insights for Tractor Zoom. We close in Segment Four with a conversation we had with Richard Gupton, Senior Vice President of Public Policy & Counsel for the Agricultural Retailers Association during last week's NAFB Washington Watch event.
