About this listen
Hosts Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths welcome veteran Iowa farmer Ben Riensche, one of five farmers invited to the White House to advocate for the continued use of glyphosate. Drawing from decades of hands-on experience, Riensche shares deep insights into the agricultural industry's evolving challenges, needs, and innovations.
In this episode, Riensche weighs in on a proposed alternative to federal crop insurance—an innovative model resembling Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Under this concept, farmers could set aside funds during profitable years to buffer against future losses, reducing reliance on traditional crop insurance programs. This approach aims to empower farmers with greater financial autonomy while potentially curbing fraud and improving resilience in the face of volatile weather and markets.
