Futures and options trading involves risk and is not suited for everyone.
We sit down with Rachel “Iowa Farm Mama” Fishback to explore how a pandemic pivot led to Pride of Pork, why TikTok makes farms feel close, and what the economics look like from rust-hit beans to double-cost hog barns. We trade notes on DIY media, clear audio, and why thin relief checks don’t match uneven pain across the countryside.
