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 venture—the Rush Hour Ag podcast.

They explain what inspired the show, why they felt farmers needed more accessible and engaging policy discussions, and what they’ve 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 stories—how 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 you’re policy-curious or a seasoned follower of farm bills and budgets, this episode will help you better understand why ag policy is ag profit—and 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 they’ve learned—the 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.

We get to meet Brenna Beard, a farmer at heart with roots that run deep into her family farm. Brenna opens up about working with her dad, the learning curve of jumping into farming, and what it’s like trying to juggle that with a career in ag retail.

She’s authentic, quick-witted, and not afraid to speak her truth. We chat about life outside the field too—from her love of the lake life, to how she deals with assumptions people make about her because she’s a young woman in ag. Oh, and if you're wondering—yes, we get into boyfriend talk too.

As someone building a presence online, Brenna also shares her take on what kind of social media messaging today’s ag voices should be putting out there—and how we can stay real while still being positive for the next generation of farmers.
