It’s National Ag Week and Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1 salutes Iowa’s producers, Ag leaders, corporations and everyone who has a hand in feeding America.
Todd Collins, former host of the Morning Kix Start, more widely known for his startup of Farmer Wave Week every harvest season stopped by to talk about Ag Week on the Morning Kix Start. What better time to highlight the importance of the farmer wave and agriculture in Iowa!
All week long, KIX 101.1 has been aiming to increase knowledge and inform everyone about the important role Agriculture plays in Iowa.
Welcome to The List,
Darth Vader just Force-choked his way to the top spot. It’s Star Wars Day, and a new list crowned him number one. Han Solo slides into second, Leia takes third, rebellion stays strong. Meanwhile, Yoda’s somewhere judging your life choices in silence. May the Fourth be with your bad decisions today.

Charlize Theron just laid down the ultimate parenting reality check. She says her daughters will earn their own money, no shortcuts. And their first cars? Old-school Datsuns, because crashes are coming. Which is bold, considering Datsun hasn’t been a thing in years. Nothing builds character like a car you can’t Google.
-----
Tucker Wetmore just had a full “main character” moment overseas. He wins New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards. Then, his mom walks onstage in London with the trophy. Thomas Rhett pops up on video like it’s a country music Avengers scene. Nothing says you made it like mom showing up internationally.
-----
Somewhere out there, confidence is doing a little too much. A woman says she’s marrying Riley Green, no doubts at all. Claims they met on Facebook and even talked on the phone. Yeah… so has half the internet and a guy named “Steve.” Love is blind, but this one might need Wi-Fi verification.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
