Market Talk was launched in the fall of 2020, hosted by longtime farm broadcaster and media personality Jesse Allen. Our goal is to bring farmers and ranchers the market information and analysis they need on a daily basis. Each weekday, you can tune in to hear strategies and insight from top marketing professionals to help your operation. Market Talk can be found on the radio and online in podcast form. Market Talk is produced by the American Ag Radio Network.
