Back to EpisodesAG Squawk with Davis Michaelsen | Jed Sidwell | Diesel, Rates, And Rural Reality
Description
We run the markets and the headlines that hit farm margins, from ethanol and diesel to the politics shaping E15 and the farm bill. Then we bring on Jed Sidwell to translate a Fed rate hike into real dollars and talk through what drought, packer margins, and border flow could mean for cattle.
• ethanol production and stocks, plus why year-round E15 matters
• grain and livestock settlements, with cattle still under pressure
• AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act and why AM still matters in emergencies
• farm bill progress, McConnell’s return, and the SNAP sticking points
• fertilizer consolidation claims and why farmer stories matter to the FTC
• Fed funds rate move and how higher interest rates change operating notes
• Jed’s diesel and interest rate math, including the $7,500 combine impact
• drought areas, forage costs, packer margins, and the Mexico border angle
• a quick weather check and the surprising origin of Play-Doh
