How to Understand What's Happening in Agriculture | Food Systems & Media
Episode 170
Monday, 6 April, 2026
Agriculture isn’t just happening in the fields — it’s happening on the airwaves, in policy conversations, and in the everyday decisions that impact what ends up on our tables. And the truth is — most people have no idea how much is happening behind the scenes… or where to find reliable information when it does. In this episode of The Homestead Education Podcast, Kody Hanner sits down with Addison Stoddard — host of the All Things Ag Gal Podcast and farm director for the Kansas Farm and Ranch Radio Network — to talk about the role of agricultural broadcasting and why it still matters more than ever. From early mornings on the radio to breaking down complex topics like fuel, fertilizer, and food supply chains — Addison shares what it really looks like to be the voice delivering ag news to farmers who rely on it daily. From market updates and policy changes to the realities of misinformation on social media — this episode dives into how information is shared, who people trust, and why accurate communication in agriculture is critical. This isn’t just about radio. It’s about understanding where your information comes from — and why it matters.
