ATR: Tyne Morgan, leasing farms to solar farms for $4,500 a year/acre; Canadian rail strike forced into arbitration
Tyne Morgan joins the Ag Tribes Report (ATR) with Vance Crowe to follow up on the Canadian Rail Strike, discuss the lease prices solar companies are offering farmland in Illinois, discuss the latest with the John Deere moving jobs to Mexico and have a conversation about consumer perceptions about why food prices are going up.
Tyne Morgan, host of the US Farm Report - a leading agricultural television show, airs weekly on Saturday. Tyne just returned from the Pro Farmer Crop Tour, so we hope she brings her up to the minute knowledge to the show today.
