Max Armstrong looks at the work of the Federal Reserve aiming to tame inflation. Max continues his look at work by two economists - Stephen Weiler, Colorado State University, and Tessa Conroy, University of Wisconsin-Madison – who share that the costs outside of urban areas for such items as food and rural healthcare can be higher than what’s reported by government statistics.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
