How has the weather impacted the end of this year's crop? And what does our winter weather outlook say? Find out as Mike Howell sits down with Nutrien Ag Solution's Sr. Science Fellow and Atmospheric Scientist, Eric Snodgrass, to unpack what's shaping up to be quite a familiar story; La Niña is back, and this winter's weather patterns are looking a lot like last year's. Eric breaks down why the Bermuda High has shifted and how that's fueling dry conditions across the mid-south, and what farmers can expect heading into another La Niña winter. He explains the odd episodes of drought we've witnessed in the last three years, the current moisture pattern we're in, and his long-range weather outlook around the globe, from Europe and Australia to North and South America. Plus, he shares his biggest watch out this season. Hint: it's all in the Gulf of Alaska. Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

You’ll hear about the various types of livestock sales they handle in Little York, m and Ryan will also educate the listeners about preconditioned calves. We know that cattle numbers are low, but what does that mean for the future markets and livestock numbers overall?
