Welcome back to the Farmer Tan podcast, where we're diving deep into the world of agriculture with Garth Andersen from Andersen Ag Services. In this episode, we're exploring the evolution of agricultural marketing over the decades, the role of institutional investors in commodity trading, and how both have shaped the modern farming landscape. Our host and alumni of UNL, alongside Garth, reminisce about their university days and share insights on how the industry's education has evolved over the years.

Dive into a discussion about the complexities of grain and cattle markets, and how factors like speculative trading and AI are influencing price volatility today. Learn from Garth's firsthand experiences about the challenges faced by farmers in navigating these unpredictable markets, and the importance of strategic planning to mitigate risks.

Not just limited to farm talk, the episode veers into personal anecdotes and lighter discussions, such as the eternal debate of dining choices when eating out, and the joys and trials of winter farm chores. Grab a cup of coffee and join us for an engaging narrative filled with humor, wisdom, and the resilience of those who work the land.
