Thanks for tuning in to this Friday edition of RealAg Radio! Host Shaun Haney is joined by Kelvin Heppner, Tyler McCann and Lyndsey Smith for the RealAg Issues Panel, but first you'll hear from Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Heath MacDonald, to discuss the Halifax Statement and the direction for the next five-year Ag Policy Framework.

The panel discusses a number of topics including:

U.S. tariff threats and dairy TRQ allocations
Retaliation as export tariffs and if that's a good or bad idea
What the panel thinks about unity and momentum as buzzwords
There was a railway MOU this week — is it a preemptive strike on consolidation push back? 

Don’t miss the exclusive podcast bonus segment covering crop potential, Chinese trade dynamics, quicky gifts, and strange Australian brothers.
