Podcast — Hay Exports

Jon Paul Driver sits down with Scott Courtright of Courtright Enterprises for a brutally honest assessment of the hay export crisis. They move past the surface-level talk to provide the intellectual honesty required to navigate an industry that has effectively wiped out $600 million in equity through inventory write-downs and a historic demand collapse.

From Reckoning to Renewal in Hay Exports, this episode digs into the structural reset underway in global forage markets and what it means for growers, exporters, and rural communities.

Jesse Bounds joins Jon Paul Driver to talk about HayCon 2025 in Las Vegas, the state of the hay export market, and why connection and adaptability matter more than ever.

In this episode of Hay Kings, host Jon Paul Driver is joined by Eric Wright of Portland Container to break down the complex world of logistics and how it affects hay and agricultural exports. From container shortages and tariff risks to the high cost of downtime, Eric explains why time is the most valuable—and unforgiving—resource in the freight game. This episode dives deep into the challenges and choices that shape the movement of ag products around the world.

What do you do when your hay gets so sugary it turns to concrete inside the baler? Stefan Hollmann joins host Jon Paul Driver to talk about high-sugar hay challenges, frost-damaged canola, and why chamber liners are a must in South Australia.
