[Listen] Ag Analyst Kent Thiesse Update On PPP and Other Programs

Things could change between now and early August but right now it looks like we may have a normal summer. For many years Kent has organized all the forums in the forum building at Farmfest. I am sure there will be a lot of topics to choose from this year at Farmfest.
