Ag News Daily

This week’s episode we hear key issues and opportunities facing the agricultural community including the impact of recent hurricanes on the industry, important USDA updates, and McDonald’s newly filed lawsuit against the four largest U.S. meat processors. We also discuss the White House’s Farmers and Ranchers in Action event, and how the bankruptcy of a major poultry processing company in late September is affecting farmers. We also highlight celebrations happening this week including National 4-H Week and National Farmers Day, which takes place tomorrow, October 12th. In this week’s interview conversation with leaders in agriculture, we hear from Intelinair, a company leveraging aerial imaging and AI to help farmers make informed decisions throughout the growing season. Iowa farmer Mathew Burt shares how this technology has transformed his farm operations, particularly in understanding crop health during the season rather than waiting for harvest. We also hear insights from Kevin Krieg, Intelinair’s Director of Business Development.
