We interview Louie Zumbach, a farmer and former Iowa State Representative and County Supervisor, and Elliot Henderson, a farmer and ag communicator, about their new ventureâthe Rush Hour Ag podcast.
They explain what inspired the show, why they felt farmers needed more accessible and engaging policy discussions, and what theyâve learned from being on both sides of the ag-politics fence. We talk about how current and proposed local, state, and federal policies are shaping what farmers can grow, how they grow it, and how profitable their operations can be.
We also dig into their personal storiesâhow growing up in agriculture, working in public service, and staying connected to rural communities shapes their approach to advocacy. Plus, they share how they balance facts with fun and encourage more farmers to understand and participate in the political process.
Whether youâre policy-curious or a seasoned follower of farm bills and budgets, this episode will help you better understand why ag policy is ag profitâand how voices like yours matter more than ever.

At the AgX Booth in Denver we chatted with some recent winners of the NCGA High Yield Contest to unpack what it truly takes to push corn yields to the limit. We learn about their farm background, what motivated them to enter the contest, and how their winning crop compared to their usual yields.
They walk us through their hybrid selection, fertility program, and how they incorporated biologicals, foliar feeds, and plant growth regulators to unlock every ounce of potential in the field. From variable-rate planting and precision nutrient applications to scouting techniques and drone use, this grower blends old-school effort with new-school tech.
We also hear the lessons theyâve learnedâthe mistakes made, key takeaways, and small tweaks that can help any farmer boost their productivity. And of course, we explore the competitive edge: how intense the contest is, what it feels like to win, and what comes next in the pursuit of even bigger yields.

In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we welcome experts from the Purdue Extension Office to shine a light on mental health and suicide awareness in the agricultural world.
Farming comes with a unique set of pressuresâvolatile markets, unpredictable weather, isolation, long hoursâand all too often, these challenges are suffered in silence. Our guests explain why mental health is as critical as physical health, especially in rural communities where stigma and limited resources can make asking for help even harder.
We discuss early warning signs, how to start conversations when youâre worried about someone, and the resources available through Purdue Extension and beyond. Youâll also hear why mental health education isnât just important for individuals, but for the health and strength of our entire ag community.
This episode is a reminder: You are not alone. Help is available, and taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Exploring the importance of a program-based approach to weed control in soybeans. Drake explains how farmers can get ahead of weed pressure by integrating multiple sites of action, using cultural practices like tillage and crop rotation, and applying preemergence herbicides before weeds become established.
With planting season approaching, the discussion highlights why preemergence herbicides are crucial for preventing weeds from emerging and setting the stage for season-long control. Corteva Agriscience is introducing two new preemergence solutionsâKyberÂŽ Pro and SonicÂŽ Boom herbicidesâwhich provide multiple modes of action to effectively target tough-to-control weeds while ensuring crop safety and tank-mix flexibility.
We also discuss the benefits of following up with a postemergence application, including how Enversa⢠herbicide offers extended residual activity, superior tank-mix compatibility, and strong control against glyphosate- and ALS-resistant weeds. Drake breaks down how these new products fit into an integrated weed management system, ensuring farmers can maintain cleaner fields, protect yields, and sustain herbicide effectiveness for the future.
Throughout the episode, we also address common misconceptions about program-based weed control, including concerns over cost and complexity. Drake emphasizes that while a comprehensive weed management approach may require planning, the cost of neglecting weed control is far greater in terms of lost yield potential and resistance development.
