Lindberg Confirmed as Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs

In today's AgNet News Hour, we shine a spotlight on one of the most powerful forces shaping the future of agriculture in California — the Future Farmers of America (FFA). Joined by the entire California State FFA Officer team, the Ag Meter and Josh McGill dive into how this organization is equipping over 108,000 students across the state with leadership, communication, and hands-on ag experience that extends far beyond the classroom. These young leaders — including President Lily Vaughn and her team — share how FFA programs are introducing students from both rural and urban communities to a broad spectrum of agricultural opportunities. From showing animals to launching mushroom-growing businesses, FFA is redefining what it means to be involved in ag. Josh and Nick also discuss the broader importance of ag literacy. Many Californians still don't know where their food comes from, and that's why FFA plays such a vital role in bridging the gap between farms and the grocery store. The officers emphasize their efforts to reach middle schools and elementary classrooms, planting the seeds of ag curiosity early. Today's show also highlights: The expanding use of drones and precision agriculture Growing concerns about youth obesity and food policy reforms The importance of in-person connection in the age of automation Updates on international tariff negotiations with Canada and China The impact of forest fires and how new forestry policy could help And throughout it all, the passion of California's FFA leaders comes through loud and clear. Whether it's preparing students for careers in farming, agribusiness, ag law, or public service, this organization is growing much more than crops — it's growing confident, capable future leaders.

ICF has its international awards program for which it is famous.  But that does it take to become one of America's ”Most Dynamic Metro Areas?” and where are they located? Heartland Forward's Chief Reseach Officer discusses the results of the ”think and do tank's” long-awaited report and drops facts behind the reason that, despite the fact it has 39% of the national population, this vast American expanse of talent, resources and states, from North Dakota to Texas, only attracted 10% of investment - until recently.  But things are changing, as Lou learns in part 2 of his conversation with Dave Shideler. David Shideler serves as the chief research officer for Heartland Forward's research team which includes visiting senior fellows Richard Florida and Maryann Feldman. With a mission to help improve the economic performance in the heartland and change the narrative of the middle of the country, the original research efforts focus on four key pillars: innovation and entrepreneurship, human capital, health and wellness and regional competitiveness. Shideler joined Heartland Forward after more than a decade at Oklahoma State University, serving as a professor and Community and Economic Development Specialist in the Department of Agricultural Economics. In these roles, he oversaw projects in community and rural development and small business development, and published peer-reviewed research articles on the economic impacts of internet access, incentive programs, and local food production. Shideler holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the Ohio State University, an M.S. in Agricultural Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, and a B.S. in Community and Rural Development from Clemson University.

As the NFU hosts an on-farm water summit, we find out more about an innovative project in Shropshire to manage water. It aims to prevent excess run-off from urban areas which floods farmland and destroys crops.Out and about with the Agricultural Chaplain for Suffolk who's helping farmers cope with the pressures of running a farm business. He says they're especially concerned about changes to inheritance tax reform.Scientists are working with farmers to find a high-tech way of tackling one of the most voracious pests farmers face - slugs. Traditionally, producers have used ferric phosphate pellets to kill them, or taken a more expensive but eco-friendly route, using nematodes to eat the pests. Now the British On-Farm Innovation Network or BOFIN for short, is using artificial intelligence as part of a "Slimers" project to work out where slugs are hiding.

Lori Ripp has been the secretary of the Lodi Agricultural Fair since 2013. She highlights popular events this week in the grandstand: rodeo, tractor/truck pull, and demolition derby. After the fairgrounds built new barns about 10 years ago, they have continued to see an increase in exhibitors and are using additional tents. New this year, they have a goat playground that was brought to life by the Lodi Agricultural Fair intern. One of the main things that Lori wanted to emphasize is community impact and involvement, including a collaboration with the Lodi Fire Department to give out and promote Roth ID tags -- identification tags that people can put on car seats of young children to help identify children if they end up in a car accident and are separated from the driver in case of emergency in the accident. Thanks to sponsors, they were able to hand out 500 Roth ID tags at the fair.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brady Quam, vice president of the Lodi Agricultural Fair, has been involved with the fair since he was just a boy. He followed in his father's footsteps by being involved in the Fair Board. He says the fair is unique for a variety of reasons, mostly because it's free AND it's run entirely by volunteers. A trend he's witnessing is a drop in volunteers. This is challenging as the fair continues to grow. Popular events this year include: horse rides with draft horses, "view from a buddy seat," and goats.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What would rural finance look like if it truly supported long-term stewardship and resilience? This is the question Zach Ducheneaux has been asking himself and working toward for a couple of decades. Zach is an agricultural producer, a farming advocate, and the former Administrator of the USDA Farm Service Agency. From experiencing firsthand ag lending dysfunction in the 1980s farm crisis, to witnessing local community relationships in action that resulted in local lending based on trust, to helping USDA design lending programs that promote young farmers and ranchers, Zach understands ag lending like few others. In this interview he introduces principles that promote long-term capital reinvestment and producer-centered terms. This is good for borrower and lender. And it builds social capital, something badly needed in a modern economy.

In this episode of the Live Wild Podcast, Remi Warren shares his extensive knowledge on hunting, focusing on the importance of understanding feeding areas for various game animals. He discusses e-scouting techniques, species-specific feeding habits, and the role of agriculture in hunting success. The conversation emphasizes the need for hunters to analyze topography and use satellite imagery to identify potential feeding habitats, ultimately enhancing their chances of locating game animals. In this conversation, Remi Warren discusses the intricacies of evaluating deer and elk habitats, focusing on the importance of food sources, water availability, and microhabitats. He emphasizes the use of e-scouting tools to identify optimal hunting areas, highlighting the significance of understanding animal behavior and habitat needs. The discussion also covers grading hunting areas based on various factors, including accessibility and pressure from other hunters, to enhance the chances of a successful hunt.

Different species have specific food preferences. Mule deer are browsers, while elk are grazers. Agricultural fields can attract game animals. Current environmental conditions affect food availability. Topography plays a significant role in locating food sources. Satellite imagery can aid in scouting efforts. Identifying less common food sources can concentrate game. Knowledge of animal behavior enhances hunting strategies. Evaluate the availability of food, water, and cover for deer and elk. Microhabitats play a crucial role in animal survival. E-scouting tools can significantly enhance hunting strategies. Understanding animal behavior is key to successful hunting. Grading hunting areas helps in identifying the best spots. Timber cuts and burns can create ideal feeding areas. Visual scouting can complement e-scouting techniques. Identifying unique features in a habitat can tip the scales in your favor. Access to hunting areas can affect animal pressure and visibility. Consistent learning and adaptation are essential for hunting success. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
