Worry abound for 2018 — is this the year of the next great drought? RealAgriculture’s founder and host of the show, Shaun Haney, talks about the ‘d’ word, and how it’s weighing on producer decisions. Then:

  • Top Ag News – Should agriculture be concerned about federal fisheries legislation? An update on trade challenges with India. Russia becoming a world player in the export market.
  • Rocky Talk – Heading into spring water management, why should we be thinking about drainage?
  • Has the agriculture industry been considered and consulted on changes to fisheries legislation and Canada’s food guide? John Barlow, member of parliament for the Conservative Party of Canada, joins the show to discuss what he calls Health Canada’s “ideological activism”.
