We're going to get slightly "hyper-local" with this conversation about the Greater Des Moines (Iowa) Partnership and the upcoming business gathering in Washington, D.C. While, on the surface, this might seem to be about Central Iowa the issues raised by Andrea Woodard the Senior Vice President for Government Relations and Public Policy for the Partnership should resonate with every person listening to this conversation. We start off by sharing exactly what the Partnership is...and you might be surprised about what this organization brings to Iowa and the nation.

The world was caught off guard today as what Russia said and what Russia did were two different things. Yesterday the Russians said they would scale back their attack on Ukraine but it seems they lied as the shelling of civilian targets continued. That had an impact on the markets. And, stick around for the interview with Jill Watkins and Jourdan McChesney from EntreFEST this year in Iowa City.
New COVID cases climb in Canada;
Russia lies and the markets react;
Sen. Joe Manchin takes a swing at taking wealth;
Pizza, gotta love it. We have a list of the best;
That Applebee's executive about wage cutting...an update;
Russian oil tankers are disappearing no, really;
The Wall Street Report;
Guess who may be filling your next prescription?

Thoughts About the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association with Scott and Trey
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Over 40 years ago a group of agriculture equipment recyclers got together and formed the National Tractor Parts Dealer Association (NTPDA). The group was small and mostly confined to the United States. Today the association has members not only in the U.S. but also Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and Malaysia. Here I sit down with Scott Schelling the Immediate Past President and owner of Rock Valley Tractor Parts of Iowa and Trey Russell the incoming President and second generation to Russell's Tractor Parts of Alabama during our time at our Annual Conference and Trade Show. We talk about what they've gotten out of the association and what may be coming in the future. Plus a "Shout Out" about the Summer Mixer coming in July.
