Hour One: Drought in Eastern Iowa and a Look ahead to #Plant24

Wednesday's First Hour: We kick off today's show with one of our young guns in ag, Tim Couser, talking about the state of farming for young people and the upcoming growing season. Iowa State University Extension field agronomist Virgil Schmidt in the Eastern part of Iowa discusses the need for some soil moisture and gives some insight on his winter meeting conversations on fighting pests and disease in the field in 2024. Midwest Market Solutions' Brian Hoops is today's market analyst, and we look at a hog market that he says "has turned a corner" and grains that are in the red so far this morning.
