Tractors And Troubadours

On this episode, presented by Case IH Genuine Lubricants, we chat with Agricultural Economic Insights’ David Widmar about the top issues in agriculture to watch as we wrap up 2023. In “The Dirt” with Nutrien, Senior Agronomist Mike Howell invites his sons into the studio to talk family, food and farmers. In our “Meat Monitor” segment, we hear how the USDA’s Regional Agricultural Promotion Program will benefit U.S. red meat promotions abroad, and in “Bushels and Cents,” Ray Bohacz stresses the importance of regular fluid filter examinations. The episode also features a new holiday Western swing favorite from Clarksville Creative Sound artist Steve Markwardt, “Swingin’ Santa Claus.”
