Agriculture of America

On this weekend’s episode of AOA, powered by Cenex, we spend the first half of the show discussing water challenges in certain areas of farm country and the idea of cloudseeding as Shane Leonard from Rainmaker joins us for a conversation. Then, we dive into the topic of affordability, attainability and availability of housing in rural America. Ben Goehner, Co-Founder & COO of Western Dominion Land Co. joins us for that conversation.

On Friday’s AOA, powered by Cenex, we share some news headlines before listening back to some Best-Of AOA conversations from earlier this month with USDA Undersecretary for Rural Development Glen Smith and USDA Undersecretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Dudley Hoskins. Then we close the show with another Best-Of conversation with Taylor Wetli from Solinftec in Segment Four.

On the Thursday, October 29th episode of AOA, powered by Cenex, we begin the show by sharing a conversation between FARM’s Susan Littlefield and Courtney Knupp, the new CEO of the United Soybean Board. In Segment Two, we learn more about the new partnership between AirBnB and American Farmland Trust to launch the ‘Farm to Stay’ Grant Program, offering farmers and ranchers up to $10,000 to tap into the growing agritourism industry. Ashley Brucker, American Farmland Trust Senior Manager of Grantmaking, Brighter Future Fund, joins us to discuss.
