Discover Lainey Wilson's new role in the film adaptation of Reminders of Him, why food misinformation about Wagyu beef is back in the spotlight (and still wrong), and what's really going down as Farmer Wants a Wife nears its finale.

As the U.S. economy pulls out of a pandemic-induced recession, the specter of inflation has reared its head. Wednesday the Federal Reserve hiked its expectations for inflation this year and signaled that it would move up the timetable for raising interest rates. All of this has great implications for the livestock and animal feed sectors, from the increased cost of inputs and materials to an increased cost of capital.Last week at World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, we sat down with Jayson Lusk, a distinguished professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, to get an economist's take on how worrisome inflation is to the industry at this point. Dr. Lusk also shared his view of what macroeconomic factors he's watching as the economy fully reopens moving into the second half of the year.This episode is sponsored by CENTRAL LIFE SCIENCES.
