Compound growth is often presented as a long-term advantage – but in real farm decisions, it doesn’t always work the way we expect.
In our upcoming webinar, we’ll break down:
✅ Where growth assumptions can lead to overconfidence
✅ How compounding can work against you in certain scenarios
✅ What to watch for when evaluating long-term investments in a tighter margin environment

The @NPPCWPX was a great opportunity to connect with pork producers and industry leaders from across the country. We had meaningful conversations about the challenges and opportunities shaping today’s swine industry – and what’s on the horizon.
Our teammates enjoyed engaging with attendees, from serving lunch to chatting with producers at our custom hat bar.

The USDA is rolling out key updates to LRP – giving cattle and hog producers more flexibility and stronger protection in today’s high-price market. These changes will benefit cow-calf producers, as well as cattle and hog feeders.

When beef producer Daniel was a student at Kansas State University in the early 2000s, he remembers watching his crop farmer friends adopt variable rate planting and GPS-driven tractors – while ranching stayed largely the same.
“We were basically still doing everything that was done 100 years ago on the ranch.” - Daniel
Today, that’s changing. Virtual fencing and grazing collars are revolutionizing cattle ranching, bringing precision, flexibility, and new opportunities to producers.
This National Beef Month, we celebrate the producers who continue to push the beef industry forward.

Young people entering agriculture face serious safety and health challenges. That’s why we’re proud to support the @AgriSafeNetwork Invest in Your Health program, which brings practical safety and health education directly into classrooms.
From hearing loss prevention to mental wellness, students gain real-world tools to recognize and reduce risks on farms, ranches, and other ag workplaces.
Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day serves as a reminder that supporting the next generation of ag leaders means supporting their wellbeing, too.

Summer has arrived, and we’re excited to welcome 29 fresh faces to our 2026 internship program! 🎉
These students join us from 15 colleges across the country and will spend their summer gaining hands-on experience with our business technology, lending, accounting, customer experience, and insurance teams – just to name a few.
Along the way, they’ll grow their skills through career development sessions, connect at industry events, give back through volunteer opportunities, and, of course, have a little fun.
Join us in giving them a warm welcome! 👋

This National Beef Month, we recognize the beef producers whose work helps feed families, strengthen rural communities, and sustain a reliable food supply across the country.
Today’s cattle market is creating both opportunity and uncertainty, with producers balancing strong cattle prices, rising costs, and decisions that will shape their operations for years to come.
This month, we’re proud to celebrate the resilience and long-term thinking that continue to drive the beef industry forward.

"It's cool to hear what other young people have going on – and that other people have a lot going on, too. It's not just us."
Emerging producers are finding real value in stepping away from their day-to-day and connecting with others navigating similar challenges, opportunities, and decisions. Side X Side conferences create space for these conversations, helping turn shared experiences into practical ideas producers can take back to their operations.
We have three conferences left this year. Learn more and join the waitlist at the link in the comments.
Registration is open to producers who are 35 years of age or younger, or have been farming for 10 years or less.

While stress is common in farming, it may be less of an obstacle for those using soil health practices compared to conventional methods.
A 2019 survey from @SDState, in partnership with @SDSHCoalition, found that producers using sustainable practices feel more optimistic about their future – and expect to be profitable.
Read more about the survey and see how producers are putting soil health practices to work in our 2025 sustainability report. Link in the replies.

China remains a key variable in the sorghum story.
@TerrainAg notes that on the demand side, the single largest influence on U.S. sorghum prices in the coming months will be export sales activity from China. Over the past decade, China’s demand has accounted for more than 50% of U.S. sorghum production.
The risk of an oversupply of sorghum is understated. Unless we see China accelerate purchases this quarter, that risk could continue to rise – both domestically and globally.
