New York AG to Host Drag Story Hour
"New York attorney general letitia James is hosting a drag story hour in New York City. This Sunday that families and children are invited to a ten. Do you know how silly this is? Family families with children. I said families and children. Families with children are invited to attend. Now, of course she got backlash over this. And I'm not shocked. Now, imagine if I don't know what mayor or attorney general would be in another place that said, a strip show. Call it juicy hour. And you got women stripping and you homeboy had his package hanging out. At one of these events, he up on the table, he did the splits on his legs and his stuff hanging out.

West Virginia AG Phil Morrisey Discusses His Latest State Battle
"Why are we putting up with men playing in women's sports? It's a very simple question. And the attorney general of West Virginia, someone who I've known for quite some time actually, who he should be the senator from West Virginia, that's a separate issue. Has a pretty serious answer, which is we're going to challenge this in the courts, joining us now is Patrick Morrissey, Patrick, welcome back to the program. Surely it's great to be with you and you're always spot on on these issues. This is a really interesting case. I'm really excited to talk to you about it today. Yeah, I am equally as excited. And so why don't you just explain it to our audience? I'm sure there's a lot of legalese involved here. So take as much time as necessary. I asked the simple moral question, why do we allow men in female sports, explain the legal question? Absolutely. So first of all, Americans have been watching what's been going on. They saw the NCAA swimming championships. They saw a lot of instances where biological males are coming into compete in women's sports. And West Virginia, a number of years ago in an effort to really get ahead of the curve, said, we're not going to let that happen. So the legislature, knowing what the future would likely look like, they said that if you're a biological male, you couldn't play in women's sports. That doesn't deny you the opportunity to play sports. It just says that you're not going to compete on the woman's team. So we thought this was a very reasonable common sense approach to protect women from a safety perspective and in terms of advancing their athletic opportunities. Charlie, as you know, title 9 has been utilized by women to advance to further athletic activities and also to develop leadership skills with women. So the West Virginia legislature knew all this at the time, they passed the law, but shortly after the law was passed, you got the inevitable challenge from plaintiffs trying to enjoy the law.

Joe Biden Jokes About Rebecca Kiessling Losing Her Kids to Fentanyl
"I want you to hear just how kind and compassionate Joe Biden really is. She's very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration. Well, that's funny. That's a real chuckle. That's a real chuckle. That's, I mean, do you take responsibility for anything on your watch, Joe Biden? You think this is a laughing matter? I dare you to laugh in front of my friends who buried their child. A few months ago. Come speak to the memorial service that I attended. For this precious child who was smart and funny and intelligent and inquisitive and loving who adored his family, who loved his sisters who adored his mom and dad. And who evidently accidentally got fentanyl into his system. And Biden thinks this is funny.

Sen. Lindsey Graham Grills Merrick Garland on Fentanyl Crisis
"Listen to the attorney general yesterday being grilled by senator Lindsey Graham. Fentanyl, deaths are more than gun and accident deaths combined in the United States. Did you know that? Yes, sir. I mean, this is, how would you describe the fentanyl problem in America? A horrible epidemic. But it's an epidemic that's been unleashed on purpose by the Sinaloa. And the new generation of jalisco cartels. Let's just stop and absorb that for a moment. The so horrible epidemic, it kills more people than car wrecks in gun violence combined, and the question is, what are we going to do about it? Under current law, fentanyl loses its schedule one status by the end of the year. You oppose that I assume. I certainly do. Fentanyl all fentanyl related drugs should be scheduled. It mandatory minimums for people dealing in fentanyl. I think we already have mandatory minimums for people. Do you think they should be increased? I think we have more than enough ability now to attack this problem. Well, would you agree with me whatever we have is not working? Well, we're doing is not working. I agree with that because of the number of deaths that you pointed out. So just keep an open mind that what we got on the books is not working.

Caller: We Should Continue Military Support for Ukraine
"Kind of echoing what the last gentleman and thinking for us was saying. You know, I also think we should continue to support them for sure from a military capacity while avoiding directly committing our unsure. And I think if we step back and look at the big picture, we say, hey, what happens if Russia rolls through Ukraine? Are they going to be more or less emboldened to do the same thing to our next country? And is that better or worse for the U.S. in the long term? First of all, Russia has Russia has a nuclear arsenal that should intimidate anybody in the world. And we're going to rely on Putin not overreacting by using his nukes because he's getting embarrassed in Ukraine. And that's problematic. And I think we should talk about that because that's the Russian propaganda has been pushing since the start of the invasion. The whole nuclear escalation, and their nuclear arsenal is in propaganda. The fact they have a nuclear arsenal doesn't make that that's not propaganda. Has been pushing it every step that you're repeated yourself. So let me repeat myself. It's not propaganda to say they have a presence that you know how many weapons they've got? Huh? It's a 1 million % Russian propaganda machine as a hundred percent pushing the fact that every time we give them more weapons that it's going to escalate it and that it will eventually go to nuclear war and they're doing that in order to put fear in our minds that wait a minute. They have the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world. That's not propaganda. And I guarantee you people on the left are hearing this and they're saying there's Mike is like Tucker Carlson. He's a Putin, apologist.

Caller: Russia Must Be Stopped at Ukraine's Eastern Border or Else
"Tell us what he said that was wrong. No, I don't think we should be funding their pensions over there. Because of what Biden and Obama, I lost all my stuff back in 2010. So I don't believe in funding other countries on their pensions. Got it. Got it. Actually, all right. Well, then we don't have a disagreement. What don't I know what I'm talking about? Well, the mere fact that we shouldn't be giving a military sport. I'm an American patriot. I'm X and navy. I do find my flag. And I'm a staunch Trump supporter. So I'm going to lay that out there. However, I work with kind of a sensitive organization out of the Ukraine. And if we don't help them stop Russia on their eastern border, there will be a total migration and Putin will keep on going and charging through that country. And then a good chance that he can move on to another one too, even a possible ally, which you would think would be a mistake, but it would also be World War three. There's not a day that I don't have a conference call with the people in Ukraine where I hear a air raid siren going overhead or I'm talking to a woman who tells me her father is on the husband rather is on the front line or debt and she's worried about her kids that are sitting in the school right now. Yeah. It's awful. It's awful. It's awful. We get it. So I've got to ask you what I ask everybody else. Obviously, the fear or the concern is that Russia escalates that Russia and China align and they set their sights on us at what point do we have to acknowledge we might wind up in a military confrontation with Russia. And if so, what does that look like, Sean? I don't think we'll end up fighting Russia in the Ukraine. I don't think we'll be putting troops in there.

Rep. Matt Gaetz: Why Are U.S. Taxpayers Funding Ukrainian Pensions?
"Play Matt Gaetz again, pointing out in a congressional hearing this week how ludicrous it is that Biden has committed to the American taxpayer funding the pensions of Ukrainians. April 2022, President Biden is describing the supplemental funding that we're providing to Ukraine. He says, quote, it's also going to help schools and hospitals open. It's going to allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people. So they have something something in their pocket. So help me understand how U.S. taxpayers paying for pensions in Ukraine is a good idea for our country. I would defer you to other parts of our government, the Department of Defense doesn't have a role in pensions in Ukraine. You're a senior Biden administration official. The president said that it's really important that we keep funding the pensions in Ukraine. I would observe that the U.S. Census Bureau says that in 2022, the U.S. pension shortfall is $1.4 trillion. So while we have a corrupt Ukrainian government while we have our watchdog here who can't say that we followed the law and in use monitoring, we have the president of the United States saying we need to fund pensions in Ukraine. Meanwhile, the pensions of our fellow Americans are in greater jeopardy.

Brian Kilmeade Segment Goes Viral: No DeSantis Supporters in FL Diner
"Boy, this Brian kilmeade moment on Fox and Friends the other day has gone viral. He was and I, Derek pointed this out to me, the crazy part about the Brian kilmeade diner moment. He was doing some remote broadcast on TV from this diner with a bunch of Republicans. And they all had different political shirts and everything on. And he went around trying to find he was going from person to person asking them who they supported for president in 2024. And this is in Florida. And it bears repeating, governor Ron DeSantis is the governor of Florida. In fact, I think his biggest campaign office is down the street from where this diner was. And kilmeade's going to person to person saying, who you for Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Donald Trump, president Trump, Trump, everybody was for kill mead was just stunned. So he goes and sees a lady with a desantis T-shirt on. He goes, well, I'm going to get at least one desantis out of this. He goes, running up to her, who do you like? Well, Trump or desantis, I don't know, kind of hard to tell. I thought he was going to drop the microphone. And there was Ron DeSantis again on Fox News this morning, another appearance, boy they are absolutely delivering Ron DeSantis in heavy doses, I think he's going to do the 5 today. He's going to be on. He's going to guesthouse gutfeld. He's going to try out his comic timing tonight. It's Ron DeSantis with tyrus and cat temp on the 5. They are, they are anti Trump. And yet poll after poll comes in, Trump is a solid number one. He's trouncing desantis by ten, 20, 30 points.

Rep. Greg Steube Defends the Weaponization Committee
"In, did this interview, and they got into the weaponization committee, which you're a part of. And they were going off in this same basically this weaponization committee, you know, this isn't this committee being weaponized against the federal government. And I said, you're missing the point of this committee. And I said, you know, maybe they could have named it differently or whatever. But there is real issues that never have been solved at the FBI that have never been solved in intelligence that have never been solved in several of the agencies that tend to focus on what they're doing independently from the legislative oversight side. So from your perspective with what Jim is leading and I know you're a part of give your side of what this committee's goals are. Well, and let's just take a step back. The Democrats use the DoJ and the FBI to weaponize the intelligence and security apparatus against a campaign of a president and then for years the mainstream media perpetrated a fraud against the American people, which was the Russia collusion fraud, which used the Pfizer process, the DoJ, the FBI to surveil on American citizens who happened to work for Trump's campaign under the guise that there was some cooperation with Russia, which we now know factually did not exist. And so why were the intelligence apparatus of our government weaponized for political purposes? And that's what the just of this committee is to go after that. Look, the DoJ, the FBI should be focused on enforcing the law and going after perpetrators of violating the law in our country, not political opportunity to be able to go after the opposing party, and that's exactly what they've been doing for years. And you saw it with going after parents at school board meetings. You've seen it with the Trump campaign in Russia collusion. You've seen it time and time again. And because Biden is there, this type of activity is still going on. I mean, I asked AG Garland when he was before the judiciary committee, man, it's been almost two years ago now. Are you going to prosecute the people that invaded the department of interior the same way you're going after the January 6 people? And he refused to answer the question. He didn't even know that it had happened.

AG Garland Appoints Special Counsel to Investigate Biden
"So obviously had to forget man, this from Justin news, 18 Merrick Garland today, appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents from Joe Biden's time as VP. He said that he initially, he said that he initially appointed U.S. attorney John Walsh and appointee a former president Donald Trump to conduct the initial investigation, but because Laos retiring a different special counsel needed needed to be appointed. So Robert herr, Trump's pick to be the U.S. attorney for Maryland, was appointed a special counsel to continue the investigation. The press conference comes hours after The White House confirmed that a second set of classified documents were discovered in the garage of Biden's home and Wilmington Delaware. Earlier this week, officials confirmed that classified records were found on November 2nd and Biden's former office at the Penn Biden center. Excuse me. So, this is absolutely insane. This is absolutely crazy, and I don't have my cut sheet in front of me 'cause I want, okay, let's get right into this. Excuse me. I want you to hear what the morons at the view have to say right from the bat and I want to respond audio clip number four Sean. I've never seen a lucky person in Donald Trump. Just as with this close to getting them. But you don't have to disappear. Here's the thing. Biden is wrong to have done this. He has an office. Let's find out what this is first. Again. One of the things that gets me crazy is before we know it's already been spun a specific way. I don't want to see that the I want to see someone explain to me a how is possible that after all this time nobody knew this because to me, if you're missing classified information, I don't mean to laugh, but in my house. If stuff is missing, I know it's gonna feel like oppo research to you. Does it feel like the Republicans are behind it? It's not. It did originally but I'm sorry. But oh my God. Do you know, do you know how dumb you have to be to saying what Sonny or ask was sunny hostin just asked? And what joy behar mentioned? Is this Republican opposition? No, it's not Republican opposition fool. You elected a corrupt president.

Virginia AG Expands Civil Rights Probe Into Fairfax County Schools
"But in the meantime Washington examiner Virginia attorney general expands civil rights investigation into fairfax county public schools now Most of you don't live in the fairfax county public school system but this is illustrative of what's going on in so much of the country So what's going on here now in Virginia Northern Virginia the suburbs of Washington D.C. on the side of the Potomac river Virginia attorney general Jason Mayer whose terrific Announced that his office would expand a civil rights investigation Do Thomas Jefferson high school To include all of fairfax county public schools After several high school principals apologized for failing to recognize national merit commended students this is unbelievable The announcement as you'll see in a moment the announcement expands an investigation launched by the attorney general last week After reports surfaced last month that the magnet school in fairfax county public schools this is as Thomas Jefferson school which is considered probably the top school in America in terms of high schools in terms of brilliance Fairfax kind of school that likewise failed to inform students Other commendations for years So what happened here Is you have all these brilliant students of this Thomas Jefferson high school now we're finding at other schools Who took the national merit scholarship test And they and their parents didn't hear the the results Until after they had already applied to colleges
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Why Is AG Garland Slow to Investigate Biden Documents?
"Think we can agree senator cotton. I think we can agree that Ohio State and person in Georgia was the real national championship game. Well, he judging by the score last night versus last weekend. I think that you won't an argument for many people on that. Congratulations to the Georgia bulldogs and their second consecutive national championship. That's a big deal. Now, senator, I want to start your own judiciary. I am angry as only maybe lawyers can be angry about the fact that Joe Biden's classified documents have not been referred for review and possible prosecution for any irregularities to the special counsel Jack Smith who's been appointed to review the Donald Trump document. Same set of laws, same set of facts, both men are running for president. Why wouldn't Merrick Garland send them both to the special counsel? Well, I think your question is the thesis because the obvious reason is Merrick Garland doesn't want a special counsel poking around his democratic bosses, private papers and potentially targeting them for prosecution. The double standard here is obvious. And I think it's going to get very thorough review from the House judiciary committee and my friend chairman Jim Jordan, something tells me that dick Durbin in the Finnish judiciary committee won't be probing it carefully because the partisan double standard is so obvious here. It also suggests probably what should have been the case is that rather than sending Joe Biden matter to this special counsel. Donald Trump's matter should have never been sent to a special counsel that Merrick Garland should not have become the enforcer for a bunch of left wing librarians at the archives rather this matter should have been settled as I think these disputes have traditionally been settled in a series of ongoing negotiations and discussions between the lawyers for former presidents or vice presidents when they find that they have papers in their possession after leaving office and the archives claim that they have responsibility for. But there's going to be a thorough program confident in the House of Representatives of this obvious double standard.

The Crypto Reckoning Continues
"It's only the first week of the year and we clearly already need a Friday. Yesterday, Delphi lawyer Gabriel Shapiro wrote, we're looking at an almost total legal and financial wipeout of the crypto kingpins. Ready to rebuild from scratch, and that I think is pretty much the state of it. Yesterday was just another ravaging day in the reckoning and crypto cleanup following 2020 twos crises. Going in no particular order will start with Celsius. New York State's attorney general letitia James has sued former Celsius CEO Alex mashinsky for defrauding hundreds of thousands of investors by making false statements about the financial health of the company. Raising allegations dating back to 2018, the state intends to seek a court ordered ban on mashinsky doing business in New York State, as well as damages and restitution for harmed investors, according to a statement released on Thursday. The statement alleges that, quote, as the former CEO of Celsius, Alex mashinsky promised to lead investors to financial freedom, but led them down a path of financial ruin. The AG herself, James came even harder in her tweets, I'm suing the former CEO of cryptocurrency platform Celsius network for defrauding investors out of billions of dollars. Alex mashinsky lied to people about the risks of investing in Celsius, hit its deteriorating financial condition and failed to register in New York. Mashinsky tricked hardworking people into investing their life savings into Celsius, promising big financial returns, and claiming the platform was safer than a bank. Instead, Celsius collapsed in New Yorkers were left in financial ruin. I'm suing to get New Yorkers their money back and ban mashinsky from doing business in New York. We will continue to protect people from the risks of investing in cryptocurrency. Now I don't think anyone is particularly sad to see mashinsky on the receiving end of some serious legal trouble. My duties, for example, tweeted crypto fraud Domino's falling fast in 2023. Day has come time to pay the piper.

Abe Hamadeh on His Lawsuit Against the Tainted Arizona AG Election
"Us right now is Abe hamade who I believe was treated so terribly by the Arizona election system. Maricopa County and others, the latest tally says he's down 200 something votes and his lawsuit is very sharply written and I look forward to an update from him. Abe, welcome back to the program. Thanks for having me on Charlie. Abe, what is the latest in regards to your ever confusing and contentious lawsuit in the state of Arizona? What's going on? Well, just like, you know, Carrie Lake and me were still in this fight. If you look at what happened over the holiday break, Charlie, there is a recount, right? This is separate from the election contest that I want people to understand. The election lawsuit was separate in the recap. Since my race was closed, it was within half a percentage point. It was the closest race in Arizona history. It was subject to a recount automatic recount. We were down 511 votes going into that recount. And now we are down 280. I mean, that was such a huge disparity. I mean, I won over 420 votes. You got about a 190 votes. And Arizona history, a recounts have only altered about 14 votes. This was a 600 vote spread. It was quite stocking. And the reason why is because canal county, another incompetent county, besides Maricopa, apparently they found ballots luckily they were in my favor, but would also that what happened was that they started to discover that these tabulation machines were not counting certain votes correctly. And so, Amy, I don't mean to interrupt, but that's almost a 45% change in the margin differential. And that's just one recount, right? That's just in one way.

"ag" Discussed on American Ag Today
"Welcome into another edition of american today. Produced by the american league network. I'm your host jesse allen. Well first up on today's program we're looking at some of the disappointing results. So far from early harvest across parts of the eastern corn belt this last wednesday on market. Talk i talked with mike zillow global commodity analytics and we discussed on the corn side. Some of the late season disease pressure and some of the disappointing yields were seeing in that eastern corn belt lot of reports from agronomists at farmers throughout parts of illinois indiana that they're having some quality issues there with some of this late season weather that has happened and we're starting to see an impact our yields. Here's the thoughts that Mugs zillow had about that and how that relates to our markets disappointing yields out of that eastern corn belt were hearing more late season disease in the east corn belt. And you know we pull up I know you have a corneal map. Here will pull this up. Just for our discussion. Mike on the video but Very interesting you know. We talked a lot about the eastern belt all year. Long how this is going to be the garden spot. This is going to make up for the western belt. And now we're starting to maybe pull that a little bit into question. What are your thoughts just with what you're hearing about. Some of those early yields mike. Yeah excellent points that you bring up. And i'll add to that that many producers in i think we in the trade thought the early corn would be the best because it would have gotten a round and not had to deal with the very hot august and very dry august and some of these key states. The map you're looking at right now is the september corn yield estimates by usda. And then. i highlighted the idea that five of these major corn producing states east of the mississippi river. Were all going to have record yields. I don't know a time when i've seen all five of these. Have the exact same situation where they've been able to have record yields posted in so that got me thinking even before i started hearing about the corn yields in illinois i started looking at topsoil subsoil moisture level. So what i did on this map. Was i highlighted those five states and then up and read. I put the yield for the state. Based upon some of the analysis i did notice that illinois indiana ohio all have moisture level conditions very similar to twenty nineteen. And that's the kind of analysis that i really liked. Jesse is when it all comes together. And you've got three states that are contiguous with one another all having a similar weather pattern in twenty nineteen all having similar yields or excuse me all having similar moisture levels as a result so it really calls into question of illinois's having a tough yield situation now is indiana going to have a tough yield situation and his ohio gonna to have a tough yield situation. Because as you say it's disease it's anthrax knows it's tar spotting of there are some lighter test weights as well One client in central illinois. Said he's running fifty to fifty four pound test weights and so this could be also disease related. Even though fund aside was widely used in these areas it seems to still be an issue of the plant health not being able to stay solid throughout the growing season. So this leads me to the next Analysis and this is where i did look at the topsoil and subsoil levels in these key states and i threw in iowa. I threw an iowa's well. As a result of the fact that i was obviously the key state to be looking at every year. But if you look at illinois. Indiana and ohio. Remember that they're similar the yield numbers and twenty nineteen. This is why. I say that is because topsoil subsoil moisture levels it all three of these states are almost identical within one or two points of where they were back in twenty nineteen. I just was blown away when i ran this. And all these numbers are as of mid september and again that's comments with meigs alot of global kabbani analytics from this past wednesday's episode of the market. Talk podcast which you can find online. Market talk ag dot com. Also this last week. I spent time with the big iron farm show in fargo. North dakota i got to catch up with jenna baroness with the north dakota soybean council to talk about biodiesel and some of the Advances that they are working on with biodiesel throughout north dakota and some of the new plants that are going to be coming online here very very soon across the state. Let's listen to that interview with jennifer tennis when the north dakota soybean council jenn it's great to catch over here big iron. Let's talk biodiesel. And i know that's a big thing. You guys are pushing here during the big iron farm. Show this week talk about some of the latest news and some of the things. You guys are talking about this week with growers and and folks coming through the show. Happy to do that. So when you talk about latest news in bio-diesel it's it's been hard to keep up every day. It seems like you see announcements of crush expansion new crush joint ventures have been kind of a new thing we're seeing and so one thing we're really Just making sure that farmers especially in north dakota are aware of is the joint venture that's been signed between marathon in dickinson that's producing renewable diesel and adm. The future adm crush plant in spirit. Would so when that crush plant does come online. Every bit of that oil is going to go to dickinson to the marathon plant to make renewable diesel essentially for california and it should be noted that that renewable diesel plant in dickinson is the second largest in the us and so for north dakota soybean farmers. I think it's good to be aware and we want to make sure they know that you know. We've really kind of been a spectator to this bio-diesel industry for a while. We've been supporting and ask the council because it's it's a pillar to the soybean industry but we're going from spectators to pretty major players And so this. Renewable diesel renewable diesel different from biodiesels drop in fuel. It is almost identical to petroleum diesel. And so that's why it's easy to use. California is really calling for it to meet their low carbon fuel standard and so It's great to be a player in that industry. It's going to open a lot of doors for north dakota soybean farmers. I believe it's a big reason that we're seeing that crush plant come into spirit would And i think it's going to be a great market option for your scum. And that's what i was gonna say is. It's a huge market opportunity for our growers here across north dakota and then something that they haven't had before obviously so it's going to create more options and create more competition out there for them soybeans. That's exactly right and in a state where we really haven't had soybean processing of any amount to speak of. It's really a big deal and it's something that we we hope to see. Even more of you know to take all of that. Oil is only going to power forty percent of that dickinson plant so they have room to take more and so that that's good news for north dakota soybean farmers why no soybean council are always advocating for soybean farmers and if they have questions about things like this or they wanna talk to you or they want to. Just stay up today with the latest news. What's going to be the easiest way to do that. Jenner checkup andy. Soybean dot org we have a farmer opportunities page also. Follow us on social media. We're pretty much handle. Andy soybean on almost every social platform you can think of so. Keep up with us there. We have a lot of farmer opportunities specifically in terms of biodiesel. We'll be having some bio-diesel farmer workshops coming post harvest and into winter along with that. We also have a rebate program.

"Welcome into american today. Produced by the american ag network. I'm your host jesse allen. Last week i was able to spend time with the farm progress show in decatur illinois. I caught up with the incoming vice president for the national core growers association. Tom hegg we talked about a number of topics including starting talking about what's going on with the administration and some of the things they're concerned about in dc in conversation with your politicians back from your home state and all that because you know when they first brought this out all this is. Don't worry it's not going to hurt small businesses small farmers. We're gonna take care of them. Well as you get learning more and more no it they just major. There were stepped up. Basis is gonna hurt that farmer that wants to transition at farm down to his child to cat so he can continue that generation going on. I'm a fourth generation. Iv farm with my son. That's going to be the fifth. I wanna make sure he has that opportunity so we don't have to sell land off. Just three him to continue to farm. Are you here in some growers possibly transitioning that farm earlier and they want to right now to try and beat any potential policy changes. I think there's some growers doing that. And i also think there's This last Just in our area. A lot of land is all of a sudden coming up for sale by older couples. That are saying we're gonna sail now just so we don't have to put up with this A year or two or three years down the road of things we gotta watch and worry about their. It seems like moving forward. You know another thing to ethanol course and that's important to the corn growers and corn farmers across the country. And we know that there's some different Different things going on in dc right now involving around the rfs rb and and everything else there. And that's something that continues to evolve. It seems by the day and by the week tom. You know it's it's it's very interesting. Because american corn farmer we're saying why are people don't like ethanol it's renewable it's clean air takes out You know for the carbons and carbon dioxide. I mean we gotta cleaner air coming in that what we had twenty five years ago when we had the bad smog in the city's so we've cleaned that up more ethanol will use. We're going to get that much cleaner air but we're live with that every day. It's easy for us understand. It's hard for to get the people that aren't involved with it to understand how it much of a good product it is and it's also a cheaper product for them put in gas tank. What is if things according are doing right now to kind of help in the fight here against some of this pushback against that's an the one of the things we We did a You know that fifteen that the the judge said okay. The trump administration did not do some things correctly we would. It's not allowed to be used during the summer months. Okay we have a call to action going on to all of the people that are members saying contacting their politicians saying no everything is good with ethanol deserve. The vapor pressure is not that major major of a problem that they think it is. It's the same as an tan product. So it's not there so that is the main thing is with the grassroots organization. Get your members involved and get them. I'll make sure that the contact their politicians and then you know you mentioned with the veal you know. It's the voice. Set the at fifteen billion but it seems like we've always have a hard time getting up to there because of the small refinery waivers and that going on and now. We hear they might want to lessen that. Maybe down to twelve billion gallons. Well that's just Another kind of a slap in the corn farmers face that Ethanol is not as good and We're where we wanna prove wrong. And it sure going to impact our farmers bottom line. It's gonna hurt markets it could hurt demand A lot of things that it can do especially as you know. We're looking at another crop this year. Which despite some challenges in some areas especially the north western foreign belt. We're looking at another strong corn crop this year. We have another yes. You're right with that and you know once you start taking grind away. Okay we've got x. Amount of bushels of corn. And it's not going to be used if we we know. We can export everything because just We've have competition. And that's just part of the the corn farmers livelihood so we need to keep continuing have a strong ethanol and we got to continue to come up with some new uses that we can use that corn for just a g. Use up our piles talking about that corn crop here for this year Talk about your area. I know western minnesota and up into the dakotas. We've had our challenges with dry weather. But but how is that corn crop. Look in your area in my area. We were We we were into the d. Three so We up until a week ago. We had three inches of rain from when we start planting corn but Amazing where the the corn is on some heavier ground. it's It was holding in there because you we got a couple of key grains just to get us there. Are we going to be like we were in the past few years. No we know that. But that's why we carry crop insurance so there's gonna be stuff out there to harvest it just a matter of okay. Are we gonna have a later test. Wait. we're gonna have a heavier test weight that all adds up into the long scheme of things but You know last week we got three inches of rain. That's like i say double from what we had. It gives us a hope that we can. Mother nature knows how to rein in our area and we got to start looking next year already. We don't wanna have to be like some of the fellas up in the north dakota area where they had no moisture at all and it just dry dirt. Nobody wants plant in just dry dirt and hope things help or hope. Mother nature brings us a rain down the road. We hope that we can replenish soils for next year's planting season two and obviously you don't get in that crop out now hopefully there's not Too much tip or or other issues I know we've had some winds come through some areas too. so hopefully. there's not any issues with harvest here. This year and we can replenish. Soils going into twenty two. That's that's a very good point because that's the main key because we need the moisture coming in and it's dry In our area that the lakes are even down a lot. So you know that Everything's being used up and we need some moisture going into next spring and But you know. These crops are amazing that Every time they get a little drink how much they look better and how much healthier they look for that and then it can produce and all that these new genetics are just amazing while we'll cross our fingers and hope that Mother nature gives us some rains here as we get ready to replenish that soil. I think wait till after harvest so hopefully to get some of those rain so we can get in those fields. That's exactly right. We don't wanna be like a few years that we've had where your your mud and everything out and everything like that. No we don't want that we want to say get Get everything done. Get things wrapped up in. I think You know. I think harvest will start a little bit sooner this year. Just because of the conditions so I in in the long run. Farmers are always optimistic. We know we know what we're going to get and we're gonna say we're going to do better again next year. Well and lastly there's still a good price on the board out there right now for corn. Well that debt that is the main thing is that we have a respectable price and You know if we didn't have that right now we were looking like we did back in two thousand twenty. During the summer when price cash corn was down below three dollars. That helps nobody's checkbook. We'll take a five dollar. Roughly cash corn sale. I think a day tom. I appreciate the time sir Thanks to join me at the farm progress show. I'm sure we'll talk again soon. Very thankful for being here. Thank you for the work that you guys do to get that information out to the american farmer. That's tom hegg national corn growers association. This has been american today.

"Last week i spent time with the farm progress show in decatur illinois and also got to spend time off site just a little bit as i was at the nutrient innovation farm just south of champagne illinois for some great events with the folks from nutrient. While i was there. I got to catch up with our good friend. Eric snodgrass talk weather and get some updates. After hurricane ida rolled through the gulf and the damage that it has given us there and also the heavy rains across parts of the northeast and also looking ahead to things such as maybe la nina returning to south america and here in the. Us and some challenges. We could have moving forward with our weather moving into fall harvest right now. Here's that interview. I had onsite during the foreign progress. Show with eric snodgrass jesse allen here and we are onsite at the nutrient innovation farm in champagne illinois. And you know it's funny that I come all the way to illinois. And i run into eric snodgrass. We have on the show bit eric. How you doing buddy. I'm doing great. We've got good weather here today and crops. Look good so it's This is not what you typically get at the beginning of september right. It's usually hot and humid and disgusting. I know and i mean you think about it is an absolutely perfect day to or the innovation farm here with nutrient. I mean just a little bit of a breeze not too hot. I mean this is this is ideal weather. This is what we wanna see for the most part all year round in some spots. Yeah if i could just keep this around a harvest. I'd have a lot of happy farmers in champaign county. That's very true. Well you know talking about harvest that is right around the corner and obviously we got some different weather challenges. We're looking at and you know. I think just a top of mind for everyone right now is hurricane ida and the impacts. That's had on the gulf and the impacts. That's having up through the tennessee valley whatnot. So what's the latest you've seen just now the itis through and we're kind of assessing the damage. Yeah a lot of the damage came from strong winds right around the you know the mouth of the mississippi river but then most of itis kind of worst you know stuff went through a lot of places that had a lot of tall trees not necessarily hitting some of the really productive ground right along the mississippi river then as a move to the tennessee valley of course terrain than when it got up into pennsylvania. New york even through main still put down a tremendous amount of moisture in that air someplace. They're getting three to ten inches of rain. You know and i just one of those storm where you know you and i talked a few weeks ago. I didn't mention ida you know. We can't forecast those hurricanes weeks in advance once they get going though they can really do a lot of damage in this is certainly brought back. A lot of memories of hurricane katrina hit the same spot at nearly the same strength Except the storm surge thankfully was down compared to katrina But it was on the sixteen year anniversary of it..

"I got the chance to talk with scott yeager from the end. Cba during an episode of atoms on agriculture. Last week that i was guest hosting and we talked about lotus and some of the latest details surrounding what is going on with the waters rule and some of the changes that could be coming to it and what. Nc ba is currently looking at and advocating for. Let's listen back to that interview with scott yeager. We'll scott's i appreciate you joining us and Let's talk water. That's a big thing Big topic of discussion right now. And i know it's concerning a lot of farmers and ranchers across the country. What is the latest that you're hearing in regards to wazir as it stands right now today. Be biden's administration has announced that they will repeal and replace the trump will which was called the navigable waters protection rule or. Nwpp are so that means they're going to kill the trump role and replace it with the biden wrote his definition So art of that effort is an outreach strategy to farmers around zoo on builders to the buying groups to solicit input as as they worked towards repealing and replacing the trump rule So actually this week. There's been a number of these listening sessions where. Eps opened up a call in allowed people. Whoever wants to call in to participate provide input on on the matter so and she has been very active in that process. I provided comments to the agencies at bulletin accessions group had billions participate and Or making sure to get our voices heard this process. Well scott you mentioned those listening sessions and getting our voices heard and what are some of the differences between this This biden rule and the trump rule. That was out there that you see is as major issues that you're hearing from farmers and ranchers that they're worried about here As we look forward was that it's because they haven't read So this is going to be a long process. It's gonna be years. I mean it could be your years before we even see what biden is thinking. As far as a definition of otis. So right now. We're on the very start of that process And the amongst ahead are going to be more engaged between us and the agencies to make sure credits trying to get them and in a place where they can develop a replacement that is not going to be harmful to cattle producers specifically but agriculture at large. That's our desire. That's our goal as we're advocating on behalf of our team members of who's being sessions and through developing comments that were filing with the agencies That is our goal. I'm so so that's your question. Go yet we haven't seen it yet. But i suspect what we're they're thinking about this which they are a lot of smart people over there. I think they're gonna try to craft a rule. Gatt threads the deal between the trump rule. The obama rodas rule from twenty-fifty meeting. It'll probably or expansive into trump role but dot is expansive as the obama girl. And i think they're going to do that. Crosby ultimate latest survive off whatever will be craft needs to survive a supreme court challenge. But right now the supreme court is a lot different than it was four years ago. I we've got a cabin course crony back on the bench. They're recon conservative. Was that weren't there before i and the composition out of four quarters is a sixty three conservative majority. So they know that they're gonna if they wanna craft gurgle rule that need to be one that is going to be able to survive. That's print court. Well sky. Know you mentioned threading. The needle between the obama era wa-was rule and the trump era botas rule. Are there certain pieces of either of those rules. That's the nc. A is gonna be advocating for to see in this in this new biden rule. What are your thoughts on that. Yup yup got engineers environmental working group and nashville a couple of weeks ago and sat down around gerbil and said hey how do we feel about wars advocacy role how we run advocacy on the twenty twenty competition under who still comfortable rhythms bored with that As our macarthur orders cable thought about that. We're we're satisfied where and where we're going on. And so what that mean trust is we're going to be continuing down that same path that we've always been which is a rule that is not over reaching a rule that properly Regulates quarters that are truly federal jurisdiction. We're talking about big water features like big lakes speed rivers tributaries that that should properly be be protected by the federal government and then everything else And by everything else. I'm eating or mid feature. Goes that flow water intermittently or only for water in response to a rain shelter. That gouzer crop those not to be regular by the federal and that's that's that would be federal overreach. I'm so those are the kind of broad stroke but offered him in addition to the role itself. What's really important. Culture is that our con- agricultural exclusions contained in the rule and That is something that the comparable good or very well. It's something that. The obama rule do fail to appropriately. I'm so the question out of the by watching what the administration does are. They're going to be able to Struck a balance here in a way that that keeps cattle producer. A good place doesn't over-regulate wows with business without having to get permission from the epa and the army corp engineers every time you clean out as a stock pond or gig a gash arbiza cattle round. So questions that we're asking those issues we're going to be watching develops and again. That's my recent interview with scott yeager from the ncb talking about wallis and the farm progress show is getting some country music attention this week case i h is bringing nashville recording artist lee brice to the event where he'll debut his latest song called former performance is set for wednesday as we were. You know talking. You know Case and myself. And i was like you know i said you know they were talking about a song and and i wanna know where you wanting to come from. Is this something that you know. You won't until like you know Put case on a pedestal. You know or they're like no no no that they're like that that's not at all we want we. We want to want to put the farmers in the people who who you know who we who live with and we work with every day on that pedestal during this song. And and so. 'cause 'cause i said hey i can go right a solid case in it all day long. You know. but they're like no. That's not what we're looking for. We want something that really just score fis something.

The decision aid system and at that time to digital ag tool has become a platform for tree fruit growers and now potato growers to stay up to date on real time weather disease pressure and help make effective operational decisions. Dr david crowder heads dass and he noted over the past fifteen years. They've worked with entomologist horticulturalist university researchers at farmers across the state of washington and into british columbia. Where are your pain points in terms of you know making decisions. Where are you losing money. Where would more real time information you know help you make more effective and profitable decisions and so. The system is kind of evolved with that back and forth with the real growers on the ground Who are giving us feedback. Kind of all the time crowder noted the dass is currently used on over ninety percent of tree fruit acres across washington state and they've recently expanded to the potato industry he added. All of that data has helped tree fruit growers. Save a lot of money that it saves them between seventy five and one hundred dollars an acre. And if you scale that up to all the acreage in washington In canada that we service were probably saving the growers twenty to twenty five million dollars a year in reduce pesticide costs and more effective Pets management crowder noted surveys of the potato industry show growers. Save roughly sixty dollars at anchor. Now crowder noted washington. State university is working to provide dass for growers across the entire pacific northwest.

"That's currently hitting a good chunk of us farm country relag broadcaster and writer. Sean haney says canadian. Crops are currently suffering from the heat and lack moisture. Did your out of two thousand twenty. One for northern ontario and in the western canadian prairies has been something that you know. People have compared to nine hundred. Eighty eight would be the most recent comparison that i've heard from a lot of producers i. It has been a very warm and very dry summer. Which has dramatically impacted the crop conditions and in some ways even more originally impacted the quality the grassland pasture which is really forced them discussions on. What is the future of the caning cowherd as what the drought in america. The canadian dry spell stretches back to the fall of twenty twenty as we hit him to spring. A lot of people. were talking about. How you don't lose a crop in march but it was dry. We used up a lot of our sub soil moisture last year. And so we really need to replenish that and it just did not happen through the winter is we made our way to the growing season. Just weeks past rain. just didn't come. I guess what's really sorta transpired here. As the weeks have gone on in the month is that at the beginning of the year it was really a tight band on the southern prairies of alberta schedule. In manitoba of course seemed wrote in north dakota and montana as well but it was really tight to the border as a summer went by the drought continued to spread out the drought impacted area. Is you look at the drought monitor. It just continue to make its way. Further and further north creating a situation where more and more acres really under question in terms of what the actual yield with the there were some fields. We're off to a great start in some areas. But just never got the rain to have any sort of a greenville and really tight to the border. Actually where i am in less per alberta a lot of the dry land never really ever had definitely been a really heartbreaking season here in two thousand twenty one. He says candidates wheaton canola. Crops are among the biggest concerns. That's where the biggest concern has been with even more so canola you know. There's a lot of people harvesting some pretty light barley. From what i heard in the past couple of weeks but canolas the one where people are really concerned that there just isn't the yield and all is a fairly small seed but it shouldn't be like pepper and that's kind of like some people seeing haney says candidates pulse crops. I've also been taking a hit from the drought addressing the crowd during the recent cattle-raisers convention and expo hosted by the texas and southwestern cattle raisers association catafalques ceo. Randy block says. There's a reason to be optimistic. About where the markets are headed. Prices are going to get higher next year the year after probably all the way into twenty twenty four so we should see improved profitability for the industry industry in total which is really is needed. We need to see improve profitability particularly back for our cal. Catherine stocker operators driving. The increase is a classic example of supply and demand. The nation's cattle inventory is shrinking block explains caused by extreme drought in west and northern plains. At the same time beef demand is at a thirty three year high this signals. Good news as the industry recovers from price swings faced in twenty twenty. We made long-term cyclical lows in the spring of twenty..

"Welcome into another edition of american act today. Produced by the american egg network. I'm your host. Jesse allen will earlier this summer dan newhouse. The chair of the congressional western caucus introduced an amendment to the egg appropriations bill prohibiting the purchase of farmland by the people's republic of china. The amendment would also make anglians currently owned by the chinese government. Ineligible for farm programs knew how says allowing the chinese government to continue to purchase farmland across the us poses an immediate threat to us security. As well as food security he noted when the amendment was first proposed. A received a strong bipartisan support. However as time continued democrats expressed concerns saying new houses amendment would increase anti asian sentiment in the united states. I don't see that being the case myself. That's directed only at the communist government of the people's republic of china not against chinese individuals. chinese nationals. I give the american public way more credit than that that they can discern the difference between a government and an individual. I think americans are much smarter than that because of that new house says the language of the amendment was changed in the rules committee to include russia iran and north korea while the amendment is not what he would like to see. New houses hopeful. Something can now be done to address this. Growing problem of the chinese government owning a growing number of american ag acres. Something that is as stated goal in their long-term plan to change a worldwide dynamic dynamic where they are in control and that includes your assets in our country.

"Jesse allen while the environmental protection agency announced last week. It is revoking all tolerances for corpora foss which established in amount of a pesticide. That is allowed on food. The agency will issue a notice of intent to cancel under the federal insecticide fungicide. Rodenticide act to cancel registered. Food uses of corpora fos. Epa officials say the move will help to ensure children farm workers and all people are protected. According to epa's decision growers must discontinue use of corporate foss owen registered food crops within six months farm president. Zippy divall responded quote. This administration has repeatedly made commitments to abide by science. It the decision on corpora foster as from that commitment and takes away an important tool to manage pass an insects and quote and agricultural retailers association. President and ceo darren complex states quote by issuing this mandate and epa not. Fighting in anti pesticide activists have executed an end run around the statute that is supposed to govern these decisions now. Epa's action reverses a twenty seventeen trump moved to keep foss on the market and implements a federal court order to limit the pesticide to only safe uses such as on cotton but american farm bureau sam keefer says producers largely slipping and fruit and vegetable. Growers must now turn to fewer less effective and more expensive pesticides for some crops like savings. There are alternatives but none of them have quite the broad spectrum of coverage as foss there are other crops many specialty crops where there are no alternatives and epa says they're committed to work with the private sector to bring new chemistries to the market and get approval but that is a lengthy process. We're talking years. Corpora foss has proven effective even when other pesticides failed. What this means is very effective. Product is no longer available and they need to you know utilize additional chemistries and that might be one two or three products to replace the one that they used to use and that can lead to higher cost of could also lead to more difficulty of getting the job done and There's a lot of variables when it comes to yields but there could be a potential there as well af argues corporate bosses valuable crop protection tool with no viable alternative. Epa's action appears to take effect immediately even for on-farm stocks and ends a fourteen year fight between environmental and agribusiness groups.

Daryl appeal oklahoma state university livestock. Marketing extension specialist says. The numbers offered were relatively close to expectation and offered little surprise for the mid year. Candle inventory report. Cattle numbers peaked down. This particular cycle in two thousand nineteen. We've drifted a little bit lower in twenty twenty and january of twenty twenty one. And of course we're in the middle of the drought now trying to figure out the impact at that might be having so bottom line. Is this mid cattle inventory report. The all cattle inventory was down one point three percent. All of these are pretty close to expectations. So there's no real surprises in this. In addition the beef cowherd is down an estimated two percent beef replacement heifers down two point three percent and national cantillon on feed down one point. Five percent peel says the feeder supply which is calculated from those inventory. Categories is also down this year. That's a key to confirm that we are moving through this kind of bulgy cattle. That's been hanging over. Cattle markets particularly the fed market. Obviously in the first half and twenty twenty one and all of this adds up to the idea that that problem is getting fixed. We're getting there. We're right on the verge attorney in the corner there and making that better with beef cow numbers down compared to a year ago that could ultimately hint at the drought liquidation. I think we're really not going to know until we get the january numbers if you look at beef cow slaughter for the last fifteen weeks compared to twenty nine thousand nine..

"Welcome into another edition of american today. Bruce by the american egg network. I'm your host jesse allen well. The drought is negatively impacting commodities across the pacific. Northwest and the western. Us making twenty twenty one less than average here for many producers but one economist is concerned additional challenges. Lie ahead the university of idaho's gar taylor says this year's drought is very frustrating for farm country. He says what's made this drought unique and more concerning is the fact that what happens. Today could impact producers for years to come. But what's been happening with. This heat is that we're dob dipping into next year's water would getting into the pool that we should be saving. That's what happens with multi year droughts if this goes in the next year and You know it can affect you for many years in the future. We continue on this path. Taylor says while dry land producers have been hit very hard by the lack of moisture some irrigated farmers have felt the pinch as well to turn things around for the next growing season. The west needs to see measurable precipitation in the next couple of months. If not sooner. But taylor was quick to point out. Droughts are not always band things for farmers. You know what you'll see with a lot of these may be at the end of the year that potato farmers or something like that earn more money income because the prices went up a lot more than the quantity of production went down. Taylor noted that. Idaho is one of the top states when it comes to the amount of water pulled for irrigation in addition to the value of a beef carcass and the beef cuts that typically are generated from the beef carcass. There is a value of other parts of the carcass. That are termed drop credit. This includes the value of the hide head organs and blood variety meats and produce from carcass awful such as livers hearts and tongues while drop. Credits have been depressed. Recent years caitlyn mccullough of the livestock market information center says the value has been trending higher in recent months especially for the hide. Usc comes up with a by..

"Welcome in to another episode of american anger today produced by the american league network. I'm your host jesse allen. Thank you for joining us here. On the show as we are talking about the recent spring wheat tour durham to her with the wheat. Quality council across north dakota. They were up there last week. And taking a look at that spring wheat crop that been here a lot about a lot of trouble with that crop and a lot of concern with the heat and dryness. It's been up there in the northern plains at the canadian prairies and getting a good first hand. Look at what's going on in north dakota at least here last week and joining us here on the show. Today we have dave green with the week quality council. Thanks for making time to join us here today. Dave my pleasure. Well dave the spring wheat to or. I know you guys wrapping that up here this week and we've heard a lot of the stories. The last few weeks about how much trouble that spring wheat crop is in across the northern plains. The canadian prairies. And we've been hearing the reports from you and your team here this week. Just about what you're seeing now that we're wrapping up this tour or just love your thoughts. What is the shape of that. Spring wheat crop. Is it as bad as we've been fearing well. I guess the short answer is that I was kinda shocked by by how bad it was particularly the the center. Part of the state We we have seen that. There was a red blocks on that palmer drought index and and If people told us that obviously it had rained most of the state for a long time. But you know so so coming in. He's still see it with your eyes. It does shock you a little bit and just see just what you know. No rainfall can do and and and that's kind of what we saw now as far as the prize or you know caught off guard or or whether it's better than i thought are worse i i. I don't know i. I think overall i was kind of. I thought that the story of this crop tour was that there was a miller's and and end users were very concerned going this crop or that not only. Would we have a little crop but a little low yielding crop but then it would have policy issues that that the he would have shriveled kernels. And we'd have had you know not enough emphasis firm. Tough to bill and tough to blend and i. I was pleasantly surprised. I know there was a lot of relief from everybody to see that. That doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like the the weak kernels that are there as small as they are are filling not shriveling and i. I suspect we're going to end up with a with a low yielding very high quality crop. I know some of the yields that Your team sent out during the week I know some of those bad areas that you alluded to we were seeing yield estimates in the twenty s range some other estimates were in the forties. Talk about what you heard from your team in. Maybe some good areas of north dakota where he saw some of that high quality. Wieland's what did that look like. Dave almost looked. You know the picture that was described was almost like If you if you could if you put a picture frame around north dakota you know maybe that first county around the outside of the entire state or or maybe even two counties in Looks to be pretty decent. You know not not average Not above average. You know something less than average but you know normal ish looking drier season crying of crops. I mean you know to your point in the forty six As you got off of that and move towards the center of the state or towards the river We got into areas where you know it. It got exceptionally poor. And then in between those than you know were areas that had gotten a shower and didn't or vista shower. You know highly variable in some of that transition brown between the real and and those those border areas now dave. We've heard a lot of chatter on social media and and heard from folks the last few weeks that they've been comparing this crop to nineteen eighty eight. Which we know was just a terrible year. Would you say it's on that level or is it better than what we saw. Last night's all the eight. Yeah yeah i i. I would have been one of those that that i saw that as an analog year you know when you started looking at crop conditions that are reported you know it. Was you know the percent good. Excellent la- so low and that was a magic year but just looking at that crop year with you know. Twenty percents Abandonment and fifteen. Bushel yield average. What they're spillway. This crop could get to that level unless definitely good news to here and you know just overall here dave obviously looking at issues With the crop and we continue to see moving forward. How that's going to translate to final yields and everything but overall i it seems like your guys is assessment on the week quality council tour. Is that not as bad as it was made out to be but still has its issues. Would that be probably a good assessment. Oh yeah it all depends on what you what you're saying if you were expecting to see the ninety eight crop reincarnate this then. Yeah i think things are much better than than you were you. You're thinking it would be at the time but So so yeah from that from that aspect if you were that negative To that level then then this would have been surprisingly good But this is this is a you know. This is a two thirds of a crop. You know half a crop and most of those areas two-thirds of crop and other areas. So so it's it's not good dave I appreciate your time here today. Any final thoughts You want to mention for us here before we run out of time. No it was It was a good tour. We covered a lot of grab. We think we did the right. We think we stopped enough with Eleven number of people to to get Enough results that would be meaningful and We'll see how the government takes. We did here in a few weeks. We will definitely see that and we appreciate you and your teams hard work. That's dave green with quality council. Thanks for joining me today. On a i appreciate it and again. That's green with quality council. Joining us to talk about the spring wheat and durham to or last week across north dakota with the week quality council and again a lot of things to consider with that spring week rob across the northern plains. Also here on american anger today. A group of midwestern senators urged the by administration to consider biofuels like ethanol as part of its environmental agenda focused by the administration includes a push towards electric vehicles the lawmakers tell the administration in a letter quote. Unfortunately the promise of homegrown biofuels at our agriculture sector appeared to be woefully underrepresented in your administration's energy environmental and transportation agenda and quote the group meeting with president joe biden and cabinet members to discuss immediate and intermediate steps administration could take to feature american agriculture and biofuels as part of the energy and environmental agenda lawmakers say recent studies have found corn ethanol to have forty six percent lower life cycle emissions than gasoline. The letter also asked the administration to rigorously implement the renewable fuel. Standard senate republicans. John thune chuck grassley roy blunt. Jerry moran deb fisher.

"American egg network. I'm your host jesse allen. Brazil second quarter crop was hit hard by frost during the final two days of june and the first day of july dr michael coordinator president of soybean court advisor inc says brazil hadn't been that cold in decades. It was the coldest air in twenty years and it was pretty bad. Depending on where you're at eight either really hurt the corn bed or kill to completely in fact i was just watching. Some farm shows from brazil on tv and they showed cornfields in northern potter. Nah and they were completely brown like ready for harvest but it was because they were killed by frost and the crop was about five feet tall short and stunted because they had a drought years with short and stubby and the colonels were like milk stage or early stage. He says the second court crop got plants in later than it ever had before was hurt by a historic drought in south central brazil and by an early frost including another round of frost. This week coordinator says this would be comparable to a midsummer frost for us. Corn farmers for the league planted corn in brazil. This equivalent of we hear. The united states had three nights of frost in mid july and then three nights a more frost first week of august. So it's just devastating for the crop. I have the crop now at eight million tonnes. My numbers are going to go lower next week for sure because these recent frost. We just don't know how bad it's going to be yet. Because they haven't started to harvest the worst field he's yield estimates range from one hundred fifteen bushels an acre for the best cornfields two zero bushels in the hardest hit areas overall coordinator says the frost. This week only added to the level of disaster for brazilian farmers. This is a complete disaster and in fact that frost for the last three nights it also got about twenty percent of the sugar cane in sao paulo and it really hit the coffee as well so just a headline yesterday morning. One of the farm websites that watch. So this is a catastrophe. You heard coffee. Sugarcane stephanie your corn. The corn is very bad now. This has big implications for the united states..

"July obviously That's a big time for fireworks and they're still fe- few folks who are having some fun with fireworks here even after the fourth of july But it's important to remember A safety when it comes to things like fireworks or any sort of fire sources etcetera etcetera. Isn't it. I think so Jesse because the thing is even though fourth of july past there are still a lot of communities that had either postponed fourth of july because of weather or maybe because of The covert yet not. The community still wasn't prepared for that and there have been a lot of communities. I know that. I've heard that postponed their fireworks show too. You know maybe labor day weekend or maybe during the county fair or a community festival that type of thing. So i think throughout the summer we're still gonna hear and see a lot of fireworks fireworks show and and the safest thing is let the professionals shoot those fireworks off you know. Go to a firework show. Where professionals are shouldn't than sit back. Relax and and have some fun but if if you do have some fireworks that purchasing four kids neighborhood there are some things that you gotta be Aware of in lighting those fireworks and you've got to educate those kids on the safety around fireworks and far as far as you know. Never let the kids play with fireworks. Fireworks really is not a toy at something to be lit in weight from there Also as far as if they're lighting fireworks have a supply of water. There have a garden hose. There have a bucket of water. Something there in case something happens there. You have access to water immediately another thing. You'll see common involving the youth and lighting. Fireworks is two friends one alighted at the same time and sees who goes higher. Who's is bigger those types of things. That's extremely dangerous because one could go off before the other one in that type of thing. So it's a big safety message is to only light one firework at a time..
