Elliott and Louie sit down with Gary on Rush Hour Ag for a deep dive legislative update straight from the Iowa Capitol - and this one pulls back the curtain in a big way.

Gary shares insight from inside the room, breaking down key issues impacting agriculture and what could be coming next for producers across Iowa and beyond. One of the biggest takeaways? In the legislature, nothing ever really dies. Ideas, bills, and policies may disappear for a moment, but they almost always come back in a different form. Understanding that the cycle is critical for farmers trying to stay ahead of what could impact their operation, bottom line, and long-term planning.
