Flinchbaugh Chair Media

Smoke & Mirrors is the podcast for ag policy unfiltered. We make sense of the many policies affecting farms, ranches, and rural communities. Each week, we peel back the layers—economic, cultural, political, or personal—to uncover what matters. Hosted by Jennifer Ifft, Agricultural Economics Professor at Kansas State University, Smoke & Mirrors is for anyone who works in the food or agricultural industry or cares how the system works. Over time, we'll explore different perspectives on various policy topics and cover policy issues from across the nation. Nothing is off limits as long as it matters for farm and rural viability. What’s real? What’s just smoke and mirrors?
