## Resource

On today’s episode of the podcast, Lauren is joined once again by meteorologist Gary Lezak to break down what cattle producers and agricultural operations should expect from the weather pattern as we move deeper into summer and toward fall. Gary explains the current weather setup across cattle country, ongoing drought concerns in parts of the Plains, the potential for summer heat waves, and why there is already so much buzz around El Niño. The conversation also dives into Gary’s long-range weather forecasting model, the LRC, and how producers can use long-term weather trends to better prepare for heat stress, moisture patterns, and operational decision making in the months ahead.
