Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network Podcasts

On today's Opening Market Podcast: Greg McBride of Allendale talks with Dustin Hoffmann about the latest in the grain and livestock markets and what is driving them. They also discuss the variances in the contracts used in local basis prices. Finally, they wrap up with the interesting dynamic that farmers are both producers and consumers, and that high commodity prices are a double-edged sword for rural families.

In this week's episode of Weekend Ag Matters, Riley runs down the news headlines and talks with SW Iowa AgriGold Agronomist Sue Brakhane, Russ brings us his faith-based food for thought, and Dustin brings us part of his report from Honey Hollow Apiary and Gardens.
