Today’s guest is Dee Vaughan, a Texas Panhandle producer and board member of Texas Corn Producers who has spent more than 30 years representing farmers through state and national corn organizations.
Vaughan discusses what he calls the toughest production year of his 48 crops, the growing gap between commodity prices and fertilizer costs, consolidation among agricultural input suppliers, ongoing federal investigations and why keeping family farms in business matters to rural communities and national food security.
