E204: In the Jumpseat of View from the Cab

2024 marks the 20 year anniversary of the View from the Cab column at DTN, which follows two farmers from different parts of the country over the course of an annual growing season. Today the tradition is carried on by DTN Crops Technology Editor Pamela Smith, who for the last seven years has been talking to growers week in and week out on everything from production decisions and technology adoption to family dynamics and their vision for the future. Today, Pamela joins us for a behind the scenes look at how the View from the Cab stories came to be, and how the experience looks for the producers in the hot seat. We’ll talk about the long history of the program, how it’s evolved, and what the future might hold for it. We’ll dig into the archives to hear about some of Pam’s most memorable experiences working with these farmers, and learn why you might be interested in raising your hand to participate in the future. Then we’ll hear updates on other crops stories Pamela is following at the moment.
