Rural America faces an uncertain future, shaped by a series of interconnected challenges that go beyond the simple ebb and flow of traditional agricultural cycles. As trade policies, weather shifts, and labor shortages converge, the very fabric of U.S. agribusiness is under pressure.

David Turner, an expert in agricultural talent acquisition, explains the state of rural labor markets, where population declines and shifting policies are creating an environment of uncertainty. From executive-level talent struggles to the aging workforce in rural towns, we examine how these disruptions are reshaping the workforce in a sector that feeds millions but now faces its most pressing challenges yet.

David also shares how the next wave of innovators and leaders will shape the industry's future. These leaders are not only adapting to economic pressures but also incorporating technological advances, like automation and AI, to secure the future of food production.
