October 4, 2024: Farming, from a Global Perspective, and Insights from the World Dairy Expo

Ag News Daily

In this week’s episode, we cover the widespread devastation to crops in the southern United States, insights from attendees of the World Dairy Expo — the largest dairy-focused trade show — and the potential impact of a multi-day strike between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) on consumers and the agricultural industry on the East Coast. We also hear other top agriculture headlines, including the expiration of the Farm Bill earlier this week and an update on the ag markets. This week’s interview we hear from members of the Global Farmer Network, an organization that connects farmers of all sizes and regions. Farmers from around the world, including Marcus Holtkötter from Germany, Gabriel Carballal from Uruguay, and Bill Couser from Iowa, share how networking with other farmers has helped them overcome challenges and find new opportunities. We’d love to see your first day of harvest photos! Tag us or send them to [e-mail], and feel free to get creative—our team will be sharing theirs too.
