On today’s episode, we're talking about insights the future of American agriculture from a policy perspective and what’s going on in Washington D.C. that is affecting it's future. The transition from the Obama administration to the Trump administration as well as the new farm bill on the horizon makes for an exciting time to look behind the curtain and figure out what is going on in our nation’s capital.

I’m very excited to have my guest, Sara Wyant, on the show.

She is the recipient of numerous awards for her service in the agriculture community and is also still involved in her family’s farming operation in Iowa where she grew up.

Sara will be sharing some fascinating insights with you about the future of agriculture.
