Jesse Allen, vice president of National A Content at Farm and Ranch Media, joins to talk about the real state of U.S. agriculture and ag media. He hosts Agriculture of America on roughly 60 stations and SiriusXM 147, plus Market Talk and the American Ag Network. We cover sub $4 corn, $9 soybeans, record beef prices alongside the lowest U.S. cattle inventory in 60 years, and the squeeze producers feel heading into 2026. The conversation also digs into mental health in rural communities, the rise of spray drones and autonomy, and why crops like canola and camelina are gaining attention for sustainable aviation fuel. Episode takeaways: Grain margins are tight with sub $4 corn and $9 soybeans while input costs remain elevated. Cattle prices are high while national herd size is at a 60 year low, drawing policy attention. Mental health deserves proactive check ins across farms, families, and rural teams. Drones, see and spray systems, and autonomy can fill labor gaps and improve precision, with payload limits still a constraint. Interest is growing in canola, camelina, and sorghum as diversification plays, including ties to sustainable aviation fuel. Barriers to entry are rising as equipment and land costs climb, making creative financing and succession planning more important.
