On Wednesday's AOA, powered by Nutrien Ag Solutions, we start the show with U.S. Meat Export Federation President and CEO Dan Halstrom who runs through the June meat export numbers and more in Segment One. Then, we have a conversation with USDA Undersecretary for Farm Production and Conservation Richard Fordyce, who discusses the announcement of funding for small and medium sized meat processors along with more provisions being implemented from the One Big Beautiful Bill last summer and more. Then we spend time during the rest of the show discussing the growth of AI use in agriculture and what it could mean for farmers and ranchers.
