The animal agriculture industry had a busy week proving it can always find new depths to plumb. From North Carolina State University researchers congratulating themselves on shaving four minutes off the time it takes to suffocate chickens, to the beef-on-dairy pipeline quietly turning male calves into a supply chain “opportunity,” to a USDA food safety apparatus held together with 9% fewer…

The AgNet News Hour tackled one of the most pressing issues impacting agriculture and rural businesses, California's worsening insurance crisis, and what it means for farmers already navigating high costs and regulatory pressure. The episode featured an in-depth interview with insurance commissioner candidate Stacey Korsgaden, who outlined major concerns with the current system and how it is affecting industries across the state, including agriculture, trucking, and small business operations. “Insurance has gone up… or you can't even get a policy,” Korsgaden said, describing what she is hearing from Californians across multiple sectors. For agriculture, the impact is significant. Farmers are dealing with rising premiums for everything from crop insurance to equipment, vehicles, and workers' compensation. In some cases, coverage is either unaffordable or unavailable altogether—adding another layer of financial pressure on top of already high input costs. Industry leaders say the issue is not isolated to one region or commodity. From the Central Valley to coastal production areas, the challenges remain consistent: higher prices, reduced options, and declining service levels. According to Korsgaden, many of these issues stem from long-term policy decisions that have created a difficult environment for insurance companies to operate in California. As regulations have increased, she said, many insurers have either scaled back their presence or left the state entirely. “Insurance companies are looking at the restrictions… and they're pulling back,” she said. That trend has led to a heavier reliance on the state's FAIR Plan, originally designed as a last-resort option. Today, however, more homeowners and businesses are being forced into the system due to lack of alternatives. The conversation also highlighted how broader issues, such as wildfire risk, forest management, and crime, are influencing insurance availability. Companies use risk-based models, and when conditions become too unpredictable or costly, they simply stop writing policies. “California is not insurable right now,” Korsgaden said. For agriculture, that reality presents serious concerns. Without reliable and affordable insurance, farmers face increased financial risk, making it more difficult to invest, expand, or even maintain operations. The discussion also touched on the need for leadership with industry experience. Korsgaden noted that California has not had an insurance commissioner with a background in the field for decades, a gap she believes has contributed to the current situation. “I understand insurance… and I know how to fix it,” she said. Proposed solutions include attracting new insurance companies back into California, streamlining regulatory processes, and improving communication between the state and private insurers to restore competition in the marketplace. As California agriculture continues to face challenges from water, labor, and regulatory pressures, the insurance crisis is quickly becoming another major factor shaping the future of farming in the state.

2,333 days ago, Jeff Bennett was the second guest I ever had on this show. Different world. Different market. Different men. Since then we've lived through bull markets, bear markets, a pandemic, and all kinds of crazy in our personal lives. Jeff runs a grain farm in Saskatchewan while quietly building a parallel business out of his garage — custom laser engraved glass and wood pieces, high-end 3D crystal branding work. He didn't start building because it was trendy. He started building because five rough crop years forced a simple question: what do you control when the weather and the banks don't care? This conversation is not polished. It's not motivational. It's a farmer sitting across from me telling the truth about debt, structure, generational disconnect, and what it actually takes to keep going when the math doesn't work. If you farm, you'll feel this one. If you don't, you'll understand something about resilience you didn't before. Timestamps [00:00:00] Cold open — "What breaks first in your life?"

Bomaz Farms in Hammond relies on immigrant labor to help the family care for 1,500 cows 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Even though their employees are E-Verified and have no criminal record, the thought of getting targeted by immigration officials keeps Ashley Zwald up at night, Pam Jahnke reports. The Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update calls for a beautiful day before April showers and cooler temperatures arrive mid-week. The "BeSure!" campaign by Bayer promotes best management practices for treating seeds with neonicotinoids to protect pollinators. It advises farmers on handling treated seeds, minimizing dust, and protecting flowering habitats. Pam Jahnke gets the details from Lillian Brzostowski. Austin Gellings, senior director of agriculture at AEM, says due to tight margins, farmers are choosing to buy used equipment instead of new machinery. This shift is pushing manufacturers to explore new ways to stay competitive and support farmers’ needs, he tells Ben Jarboe. One key strategy is developing retrofit technologies that allow farmers to upgrade older equipment instead of replacing it. Rusty Volk highlights the financial shifts of the late 70s and early 80s, that forced many, including himself, to exit the industry. His tells Kiley Allan his primary advice for modern farmers facing turbulence is to look 15 years ahead rather than dwelling on the past. He calls for support of youth education in agriculture to ensure the future of the industry.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week, the Trump administration pulled out of a historic agreement made in 2023 to aid in salmon recovery and renewable energy for tribes. The agreement would have invested more than $1 billion in federal funds for wild fish restoration efforts over a decade and could have potentially led to the removal of the Snake River Dams to help native salmon populations. But, some industry leaders were unsupportive of the deal, including those in the agricultural and port industries who say the dams play a critical role in shipping goods overseas. Jeremy Takala is the chair of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and worked closely with the Biden administration to reach the agreement. Leslie Druffel is the outreach director for the McGregor Company in Washington and works closely with many in the agricultural industry. They both join us to share their thoughts on the rescission of the deal.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tim Danley, a dedicated farmer and tech innovator, about his unique journey into integrating drone technology with agriculture. Tim's path began on his family farm, where he worked during school breaks, and later enrolled in the Air Force as a military policeman. After returning home to manage Danley Farms, he became deeply involved in a range of activities, from overseeing diverse crops to volunteering as a firefighter and leading a search-and-rescue drone team.Tim's adoption of drone technology was driven by his desire to complement, not replace, traditional farming practices. He explained how drones are particularly effective for tasks like targeted spraying on small plots, and while his introduction of drones faced the same skepticism that innovations like GPS in farming once experienced, Tim's efforts to educate others have been key in easing concerns and highlighting drones' practical benefits.One of the most inspiring parts of our conversation was hearing how Tim, a self-taught drone enthusiast, has embraced experimentation and failure as part of his journey. His approach to learning and applying technology highlights endless opportunities in agriculture—opportunities not just for farmers, but also for tech-savvy individuals looking to make an impact.Tim has a passion for putting a human face to farming, connecting with his community, and sharing stories that educate and inspire. Even his neighbors and colleagues have gained new appreciation for the industry through his work. As someone who believes in the power of storytelling, I was energized by Tim's commitment to changing perceptions one video, one story, and one connection at a time.If you're curious about Tim's journey, you can follow him on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook under "North Wind Aerial." His work is a testament to what can happen when you combine passion, innovation, and a willingness to share your story. This conversation left me inspired and hopeful for the future of agriculture, and I hope it does the same for you.North Wind Aerial: https://www.northwindaerialimaging.com/Tim Danley: https://www.instagram.com/northwindaerial/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/northwindaerial/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Tim Danley, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

In this episode, I dive into the difference between reacting and responding. Often, when we react, it's out of pure emotion—something triggers us, and we fire back without thinking, often leading to regrets and outcomes we don't want. But God doesn't react; He responds. Today, I'm breaking down how this principle applies in business, relationships, and life in general. By creating space and choosing to respond thoughtfully, we can make better decisions that align with our goals and values. Join me as I share personal stories and practical ways to shift from reaction to response in your everyday life.
