In Episode 2 of Rush Hour Ag, we turn the mic toward co-host Louie Zumbach—a lifelong Iowan, farmer, former legislator, and passionate advocate for agriculture. Louie shares his story from growing up on a multi-generational farm to serving in the Iowa House of Representatives. We dive into his deep family roots in farming, what drove him into public service, and how those experiences shape his perspective today. We also unpack one of the most critical topics in ag policy: the stepped-up basis. Louie breaks down what it means, why it matters to family farms, and how policy decisions in D.C. have real-world impact on operations back home. Tune in for a meaningful conversation about legacy, leadership, and why Louie believes policy should always start with the people it affects most. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation. 📍 Watch more: https://linktr.ee/rushhourag #RushHourAg #AgPodcast #ElliottHenderson #Farm4Profit #AgPolicy #IowaFarmer #FarmLeadership #RuralVoices #FarmingCommunity #AgTalk #FarmPodcast #KnowYourFarmer #VoiceOfAg #FarmerPerspective #FarmStrong #AgConversations #AgMedia #FarmRoots #RuralLeadership #TractorTalk
