Farmers this week got details of the first round of 2019 Market Facilitation Program Payments. The program will dump about $7.25 billion into farming areas of the country around September. What impact will that have on struggling rural economies? Pro Farmer policy analyst Jim Wiesemeyer and AgriTalk's Chip Flory join Farm Journal news director John Herath to look at the difference MFP will, and won't, make in rural America. 

Also in this week's DC Signal to Noise Podcast, Wiesemeyer talks about key signals to watch for in next week's China trade talks and Flory shares insights in how the Pro Farmer Crop Tour will look at this never before seen crop year.
