Ep. 146 ProFarmer Crop Tour, weighing on-farm crop storage, caring for mental health on the farm, the music of Sienna Rose

Tractors And Troubadours

On this episode we hear a recap of corn and soybean conditions from participants of the ProFarmer Midwest Crop tour. Also, with harvest approaching, is bin storage on the farm in your best interest? And, a cause for optimism for dairy farmers, and a U.S. Representative’s take on farm bill proceedings. We’ll also hear about some great mental health work being done in the agricultural industry by the Wisconsin Farm Center. In our “Meat Monitor” segment, U.S. Meat Export Federation Chair Randy Spronk recently made his way to Indonesia to try to five the U.S. pork industry a boost in that country, and in “Bushels and Cents,” Ray Bohacz wants to know if you’re treating all of your equipment equally. The episode also features the music of Sienna Rose.
