Matt Collins discusses why volatile markets are driving investors to search for safety and steady returns. He makes the case for AAA-rated CLOs, collateralized loan obligations, which have learned from past mistakes and now offer a more attractive risk-return profile than traditional fixed income investments.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Ruth Marcus resigned from the Washington Post after its C.E.O. killed an editorial she wrote that was critical of the paper's owner, Jeff Bezos. She ended up publishing the column in The New Yorker, and soon after she published another piece for the magazine asking "Has Trump's Legal Strategy Backfired?" "Trump's legal strategy has been backfiring, I think, demonstrably in the lower courts," she tells David Remnick, on issues such as undoing birthright citizenship and deporting people without due process. Federal judges have rebuked the Administration's lawyers, and ordered deportees returned to the United States. But "we have this thing called the Supreme Court, which is, in fact, supreme," Marcus says. "I thought the Supreme Court was going to send a message to the Trump Administration: 'Back off, guys.' . . . That's not what's happened." In recent days, that Court has issued a number of rulings that, while narrow, suggest a more deferential approach toward Presidential power. Marcus and Remnick spoke last week about where the Supreme Court—with its six-Justice conservative majority—may yield to Trump's extraordinary exertions of power, and where it may attempt to check his authority. "When you have a six-Justice conservative majority," she notes, there is"a justice to spare." Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Do you know who Ohio's "corn model" is? According to Matt Reese in this week's Ohio Ag Net Podcast, that model is Tyler Drewes of Wood County, a corn producer and the president of the Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association.

Learning to YIELD to that which we first YIELDED

Learning to YIELD to that which we first YIELDED

Fundamentally, the call to discipleship is a call to yield. It's a call to self-denial. It's a call to say “you go first” even when it might be our right to go first. This is what it means to be a Christian, a fully surrendered follower of Jesus. It's a radical all-in total takeover of who you are with no turning back. Anything remotely close to this will demand your unwavering resolve and the belief that God is the only treasure worth selling everything for. If you're serious about changing your world for Christ, and if you're serious about living what you say you believe, then it's time to resolve to yield to God in every detail of your life—in the big things and the small.

1. Planting is the most important pass we make with any of our equipment. Position the right seed, on the right acre, at the right rate, at the right depth, at the right time.2. Consider applying non-limiting nitrogen reference strips in every corn field.3. Scout for pests, and apply timely treatments.4. Monitor for misapplications and costly mistakes. (A tank contamination or mistake mix can cause bleaching, striping and other issues.)5. Trust but verify new products. There are so many products from biologicals to stabilizers, but it's really important to run tests and verify that the products work. Leave check strips, and verify ROI.During the conversation with hosts Carl Joern and Brian Shrader, Regg mentions a couple of Pioneer resources including a scouting calendar and a corn disease tracker: Corteva Corn Disease Tracker: https://www.corteva.us/press-releases/Pioneer-Launches-New-Mobile-Tool-to-Identify-Pests-Diseases-and-Deficiencies-in-Crops.htmlPioneer Scouting Calendar: https://www.pioneer.com/us/agronomy/scouting-calendar.html

Choosing the Narrow Path in a World of 8 BillionScripture References: Matthew 7:13-14; Galatians 5:13-26; Matthew 24; John 15Sermon Notes:Intro: (Podcast intro music fades) Welcome to today's sermon. We are living in an unprecedented time – the population has exploded from 4 billion to over 8 billion in roughly one lifetime. It took all of human history until 1804 to reach 1 billion, yet we've added 4 billion recently. What is God doing? You have been chosen by God to be alive now, handpicked for the greatest potential harvest in history. He's setting the stage. But how do we partner with Him effectively in this unique moment? Jesus speaks of two paths: one wide and easy, chosen by most, leading to destruction; one narrow and difficult, leading to life (Matt 7:13-14). We're called to this narrow path. This path is vividly described in Galatians 5.Key Points: The Narrow Path (Galatians 5)Marked with Love & Service (v. 13-15): Live a life of constant love and committed service, not just to those like us, but to anyone in need (the Good Samaritan principle). Resist the end-times trend of love growing cold (Matt 24). True joy is found outside self-focus.Yielding to Purpose (v. 16): Yield to the Holy Spirit's power, abandoning self-life cravings. God has an incredible, unique purpose written for your life. Don't just coast; ask Him what it is for this season.Obedience (v. 17-21): Recognize the conflict between self-life (flesh) and the Spirit. Actively avoid sin ("obvious" behaviors listed). Obedience isn't a burden; it's the key to freedom, peace, and clarity.Full of Fruit (v. 22-23): The narrow path produces limitless spiritual fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, etc.) as we stay connected to God (John 15). The world needs to see this authentic fruit, not just gifts.Complete Surrender (v. 24): We who belong to Christ have crucified the self-life. This death to self is central. Surrender control ("dead people don't talk"). It's counter-cultural but leads to true freedom.Embracing God's Rhythms (v. 25): Live by the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit. Honor His pacing, including rest (Sabbath) and the season you're in. Pursue holistic health.Humility (v. 26): Forsake arrogance, comparison, and jealousy. Value all people, made in God's image. Be quick to honor, bless, and build up, not tear down.Conclusion: The narrow path is challenging, yes, but it's glorious – it's what we were made for. Dissatisfaction often stems from settling for the wide road. A man from Iran's underground church, who met Jesus supernaturally, shared his struggle finding that same Jesus in American Christianity, asking, "I didn't know people like you [living the narrow way] existed." His words are haunting. The 8 billion people on this planet desperately need to know that Christians like you – committed to the narrow path of love, service, purpose, obedience, fruitfulness, surrender, rhythm, and humility – exist.Call to Action: Recognize the significance of this moment in history. Choose today: will you settle for the comfortable, wide-road Christianity, or will you embrace the narrow path where Jesus is? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Commit to walking the narrow way outlined in Galatians 5. Let's be the people the world needs to see. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

As the saying goes, you don't need to be wealthy to start saving—but you do need savings to build wealth.Right now, one of the best ways to grow your savings is by taking advantage of high-yield savings accounts. But how long will these elevated rates last? Let's explore what's driving these rates and what you can do to maximize your savings.The Role of a Savings AccountBefore we dive into high-yield savings, let's clarify what a savings account is—and what it's not. Unlike investing accounts involving higher risk, a savings account is a secure place for short-term financial needs.A savings account is ideal for:Your emergency fundBig purchases you plan to make in the next few years, such as a car or home repairsCurrently, some online savings accounts offer interest rates between 4.75% and 5%, significantly outperforming traditional brick-and-mortar banks. But why are these rates so high?The Inflation Factor: Why Rates Are HighInflation plays a significant role in determining interest rates. The Federal Reserve typically raises interest rates to slow inflation down when inflation rises.Over the past couple of years, inflation has remained higher than the Fed's 2% target. As a result, the Fed has held off on cutting rates as originally anticipated.Bad news? If you have a variable-rate loan like a credit card or home equity line of credit, you're paying more in interest.Good news? You're earning more on your savings if you have a high-yield savings account.Because banks adjust their rates based on the Fed's actions, the question remains: How long will these higher yields last?Will Savings Yields Stay High?Only God knows for sure, but we can make an educated guess based on two factors:The latest inflation numbers—If inflation continues around 3%, the Fed may hold steady, keeping savings rates high.The Federal Reserve's reaction—If inflation drops to 2.5%, the Fed might cut interest rates, eventually leading to lower savings yields.Even when the Fed does cut rates, it can take time for savings yields to follow. Banks tend to delay lowering interest rates on savings accounts. Likewise, when the Fed raises rates, banks take their time increasing yields.Why? Because banks don't want to be the first to make a move. They wait to see how competitors react so they can stay within industry standards while remaining competitive.How to Get the Best Savings RatesSince banks adjust rates at their own pace, it's wise to monitor trends. If your bank consistently offers lower yields than what's available online, consider moving your money.To compare savings rates, check websites like:BankrateNerdWalletAdditionally, if savings account yields start dropping, you might consider alternatives like:Certificates of Deposit (CDs)—Offer fixed, higher yields for a set period.Money Market Accounts—Typically have higher yields than standard savings accounts.Credit Unions: A Hidden Gem for High YieldsIf you're dissatisfied with your bank's rates, you don't necessarily need to switch to an online bank. Credit unions often offer higher savings yields than traditional banks.Unlike for-profit banks, credit unions return profits to their members through:Higher interest rates on savingsLower fees and better loan ratesOne faith-based option is Christian Community Credit Union, which offers competitive savings rates and gives a portion of its revenues to support ministry efforts worldwide.

On this episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we're joined by Dustin McArthur, a precision ag specialist for Helena Chemical who knows agronomy like the back of his hand. We take a deep dive into corn and soybean strategies for 2025, breaking down whether farmers should cut costs on their fertility plan, which inputs matter most, and how early they should plant to maximize yield. We also get into the hot debate on fungicide—does it actually pay off, or is it just another expense? Just how beneficial are cover crops and what blends work best? And of course, the big question on every soybean grower's mind: how can you hit 100-bushel beans? If you're looking to fine-tune your farm's strategy and get the most out of your acres, you don't want to miss this one.
