Rural Radio Network Ag News Podcast — Friday, October 17

It’s a busy Friday in agriculture news! Beyond Meat’s stock continues to tumble, now trading below $1 a share and risking delisting from the NASDAQ as investor confidence fades in the once-hot plant-based protein company. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump says his administration has a plan in place to bring down beef prices, though details remain unclear. In Nebraska, cash cattle trade remains strong, with dressed deals reported around $372 to $373 — $9 to $10 higher than last week. Also in the news, the Nebraska Corn Board is stepping in with $1 million to keep a nitrogen-reduction program alive after lawmakers declined to fund it. The program helps farmers cut fertilizer use and protect water quality.
