Grain Markets and Other Stuff

Joe does a great job putting the information out there in a short format that is not overly complicated.

I started listening to this show in March and enjoyed it so much, I went back and started with the first episode. Lots of useful information and perspective about grain marketing, as well as a great aggregator of news headlines. Recently though, political opinion has seeped into the content more and more. Mackenzie’s completely slanted view and now even Joe is taking veiled and then not so veiled shots at one side of the aisle. Go back and listen to any two week stretch of the show in the first 18 months and then listen to the last two months. It won’t take long to see a clear difference. Joe used to be pretty careful about how he approached news that might be viewed as partisan. Far from it now. This isn’t a “stay in your lane” review. Joe and Mackenzie’s opinions are as valid as anyone’s. And it’s Joe’s show to produce as he sees fit. It’s right there in the name “other stuff”. But now the other stuff isn’t crypto and whatnot. It just makes me question whether I’m getting info that is useful to me, or just what fits their political perspective. It has undermined the integrity of the show. If their leanings align with yours, or you’re a consumer of political news tv, you probably won’t notice a thing. But if you like to think critically about what you’re consuming, you might look for another outlet for an ag news aggregator.

Love the show

High performance updates but would like to see hog market updates and commentary 👍🏽 Thanks Joe
