  • Should the EPA waive the ethanol mandate to help livestock producers during the #drought?
  • What drought resource links/sites do you use?
  • Are there any information resources you would like to see available?
  • How do you see the drought affecting the food industry/purchasing habits?
  • What if any specific changes have you made because of this years drought?
  • Drought is certainly a big negative, but is there any even small positive from this historic event?
  • What is the one executable idea you’ll be working on from tonight’s #AgChat?
