E68: 2021 Pre-Harvest View from the Cab
Show Notes

Two young producers, from Texas and Iowa, reflect on farming grains, livestock, and families in 2021, the harvest, and what comes next.

 Since 2005, DTN Progressive Farmer has been selecting two farmers every year from various parts of the country to participate in their annual View from the Cab Project. These farmers spend a full year getting to know DTN’s Pamela Smith as they work through  weekly calls and check-ins, sharing their stories and their seasons with the rest of the broader farm community. 2021’s farmers are no exception, and as harvest approaches, we’re checking in with them on a year of uncertainty, their hopes for harvest, and their outlooks and advice on how to move forward with investments, technology, and family businesses. 

 We'll meet Kellie Blair of Iowa and Ryan Wieck from Texas today on Field Posts.
