A new report says racist abuse is too often "tolerated or even normalised" in the English countryside, with many incidents going unreported by victims. Researchers from the University of Leicester spoke to 115 people and 20 community groups over two years, for their Rural Racism Project. They found that it wasn't just visitors to the countryside who suffered abuse, but those who are living within rural communities as well. The UK dairy sector has had a pretty successful year. The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board, which works with farmers and food producers on international trade, says that European demand for UK dairy exports reached a record 1.1 billion pounds in the first half of 2025, that's a 20 percent jump from last year. Exports to the USA and Asia also rose. How sustainable is this trend, especially with the impact of drought on dairy producers in some parts of the country?All this week we're looking at the business of livestock feed. What's grown to feed animals and how it's produced, can have a big impact on carbon emissions. Farmers are being encouraged to grow pulses to replace imported soya which can lead to deforestation. We visit a livestock farmer who's been trialling it as part of a nationwide project.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

In this Labor Day episode, Brad highlights the history of the holiday in the U.S. and Canada before diving into a brand-new genetic evaluation for Holstein dairy cattle: milking speed. Released in August 2025, this trait provides an objective way to measure how quickly cows milk—expressed in pounds of milk per minute—with the Holstein breed average set at 7 lbs/min.Brad explains how this evaluation was developed using parlor sensor data (not robot milking systems) from over 165 herds and 43,000 cows, making it more accurate than traditional subjective scoring methods used in other breeds. With heritability at 42%, milking speed is a promising selection tool for improving parlor efficiency and labor use.The episode also covers:How milking speed correlates with traits like somatic cell score and mastitis.The range of variation in bulls and what that means for selection decisions.Why milking speed isn't yet included in the lifetime merit index.Practical implications for farmers considering faster vs. slower milking cows.Brad wraps up by reflecting on how this new tool could impact herd management at the Morris research herd and encourages producers to watch for milking speed in future bull proofs.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Clare is set to benefit from a boost to its Garda numbers but not as many as had been expected. There's been a mixed response to the news that six of the latest 154 Gardaí attested at Templemore will be allocated to Ennis Station. However, an earlier announcement at the end of July predicting an additional 15 Gardaí for the Shannon division now seems to have faltered To discuss this further, Sally-Ann Barrett was joined by Timmy Dooley, Tulla-based Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Tony Mulcahy, Shannon Fine Gael Councillor.

In this episode, I share a fresh perspective on why rest is essential for productivity—through the lens of agriculture. Just as farmers rotate crops and allow fields to rest to maintain soil health, we too need scheduled breaks to protect our focus, creativity, and long-term output.I talk about:The silent crisis of soil depletion and what it teaches us about sustainability.Why rotating crops and letting fields rest is the perfect metaphor for how we should structure our own work.The importance of proactively scheduling breaks (like cool-off weeks) before life forces us to rest through burnout, sickness, or accidents.What a cool-off week actually looks like in practice: serving clients, answering emails, maintaining—but not pushing for new projects.How to embrace being a “B minus” worker for a week and why your B minus is probably still a solid B.This episode is about reframing rest not as laziness, but as a vital strategy for longevity, health, and sustainable productivity.00:00 Introduction to the Cool Off Week00:34 Understanding Soil Health and Agriculture02:18 The Importance of Resting Fields03:16 Government Initiatives and Soil Health04:03 Applying Agricultural Principles to Productivity05:24 Practical Tips for a Cool Off Week07:04 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsJoin the Focus Room: https://monthlymethod.com/focus-room/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dans la mythologie grecque, l'Ambroisie était le nectar des Dieux, qui leur assurait l'immortalité.C'est aussi une plante, une EEE, espèce exotique envahissante, qui cause beaucoup de soucis en France. L'Ambroisie à feuilles d'armoise (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) sécréte, en plus d'un pollen très allergisant, une substance qui inhibe la croissance des plantes voisines.Pionnière et opportuniste, elle peut entrer en compétition avec les plantes cultivées, ce qui peut impacter les rendements agricoles. Sa gestion représente donc un enjeu de santé publique : son pollen peut déclencher une réaction allergique (rhinite, conjonctivite, asthme ou encore eczéma). En Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, région la plus touchée, 660.000 personnes seraient impactées par l'Ambroisie, ce qui engendre des coûts sanitaires importants.Gaëlle Guyot du FREDON Nouvelle Aquitaine nous explique tout ça. _______ Le FIFO (Festival international du film ornithologique) de Ménigoute est un rendez-vous incontournable pour les passionnés du documentaire animalier et pour les amoureux du Vivant.Le FIFO propose des projections de films, mais aussi un forum des assos et autres acteurs naturalistes, un salon d'Art animalier, des rencontres-débats, un festival off, des sorties et ateliers nature.

Countrywide speaks to Michael Healy-Rae, Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with special responsibility for Forestry, Farm Safety and Horticulture.
On Aug. 1, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a court injunction halting President Trump's executive order eliminating collective bargaining rights for federal unions. The decision has cleared the way for the Trump administration to execute its total assault on federal unions and workers' rights. “Union contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture have since been terminated,” The Guardian reports. “An estimated 400,000 have been affected, about 2.6% of unionized workers in the US.” After already falling to historically low levels of union density, public and private-sector unions are facing an extinction-level event under the new Trump administration. In this interview, recorded at the Netroots conference in New Orleans, LA, TRNN editor-in-chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Everett Kelley, President of the American Federation of Government Employees, about what the labor movement is doing to fight back.Guest:Everett Kelley is the national President of the American Federation of Government Employees, which is the largest union representing federal and DC government employees. He began his first term of service as national President in February 2020, was elected to another term during the 42nd National Convention in June 2022, and was reelected during the 43rd National Convention in August 2024. Kelley has been a member of AFGE since 1981.

We want to help farmers and ranchers experience freedom and make farming fun again.Doing things the way traditional agronomists, lenders and insurance companies tell us we need to do it is not that much fun anymore. If you share this sentiment, give us a call. We have been there done that and thrown away the free hat,” Vance McCoy - Transitional Ag Consulting About Vance McCoy: In 1988, when Vance McCoy was 16, his father passed away, leaving Vance and his mom Maggie to manage the farm, “I was the only boy and had three sisters. That was how it worked out from the beginning. Everyone just knew I was going to be a farmer. I had planned to leave and come back to the farm, but when dad passed away, that put me on the fast track.”When McCoy was growing up near Elsie, Neb., the family raised mostly corn and operated a cow/calf operation. Today, he and his wife Ronda's two grown sons, Tyler and Tanner, farm as separate managers of their own endeavors. McCoy continues raising corn and soybeans, but has also found a passion for soil health and regenerative agriculture. In addition to the farming business, McCoy also started Triple Creek Cover Crops, named for the three creeks that still cross the family farm. His daughter, Meredith, helps with the cover crop business. His sons returning to the farm around 2012, was one of the reasons McCoy began to seriously look at changing some things, “I had bought my farm when I was 30, and when I was 40 had the sons coming back to farm with me already. We had to find a new way to make that work. We had to look at the expenses in a different way as well as our risk. That is when I really fast-forwarded into a new way of doing things.” McCoy enjoys sharing his trials and triumphs on Facebook through videos and photos with posts outlining the real-world scenarios he is testing, “I try and be humble about it. I was lucky because dad was always forward-thinking. That's another thing I tell people, ‘You have to respect your dad because he didn't get to where he is at by being stupid. Be patient, there are probably some things you need to learn from him too.' But, I also remind some of those dads that if their fathers had not allowed them to make changes, where would they be today?”“Asking questions and getting answers will get us someplace,” he said. “Don't preach. Ask questions. It's the best way to learn from somebody.”Contact Vance and the Transitional Ag Consulting team at: www.grazemastergroup.com.

At Orais Hand Farm, located across the road from the Mississippi River, he is trying to move away from the idea of human dominion over nature.
