Say what you will about James Cash Penney Jr. Just don't say he didn't work his booty off. After he left his hometown, James tried desperately to succeed as a businessman. He found work as a sales person. He bought a struggling butcher shop/bakery. With each effort came failure. Then he discovered a new kind of business. It was called the Golden Rule Dry Goods Store. The store featured low-priced goods in a clean environment. The store owners treated their customers with respect. James went to the store, hoping to be hired. He knew that if he could get his foot in the door, he'd one day find success. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: Currey, Mary Elizabeth.

The agricultural land market demonstrates remarkable resilience in early 2024, despite ongoing concerns about tariffs, interest rates, and commodity price fluctuations. In this information-packed episode, we dive deep into current farmland trends with special guest Jim Rothermich, "The Iowa Land Guy," who tracks every land auction in Iowa and provides crucial market insights.Rothermich reveals that Northwest Iowa continues to see premium farmland prices exceeding $20,000 per acre, driven primarily by local producers rather than outside investors. This producer-dominated market reflects the strategic importance of land acquisition beyond simple ROI calculations—farmers recognize that expansion opportunities may be once-in-a-lifetime chances. Despite rising interest rates reducing the buyer pool somewhat, most transactions still involve significant cash positions from farmers with strong balance sheets.The conversation shifts to recent auction results across several states, showcasing the tremendous range in current land values. From recreational properties selling for $3,800/acre in Pembina County, North Dakota, to premium farmland reaching $12,500/acre in Brown County, Minnesota, and multi-parcel offerings near Moorhead bringing $9,600/acre, the market demonstrates continued strength across diverse property types.Hosts Steve Link and Andy Murdock share exciting details about upcoming auctions, including a 3,000-acre ranch property in Golden Valley County and a unique 840-acre offering near Custer State Park in South Dakota featuring parcels with direct views of Mount Rushmore. The episode provides valuable perspective on market trends, buyer motivations, and what both sellers and purchasers should consider in today's dynamic land market.Discover why agricultural real estate continues to attract strong interest despite economic headwinds, and gain insights that could help you make more informed decisions about your land assets.

#186: Agricultural economist John Ikerd returns to discuss why the vast majority of meat, milk, and eggs moving through the American food system is sourced from large-scale, industrial feed lots and factory farms. The drive for economic efficiencies that appears sensible when investors are backing the production of widgets has a disastrous effect when animals are involved. Beyond the inexcusable cruelty factor, the savings from economic corner cutting is leading to both environmental and health crises of epic proportions. Why is this happening and how can we change it?John Ikerd is an agricultural economist, livestock expert, and Professor Emeritus and the University of Missouri. His books include: Crisis and Opportunity Sustainability in American Agriculture; Small Farms Are Real Farms; Sustainable Capitalism; The Essentials of Economic Stability; A Return to Common Sense; and Revolution of the Middle and the Pursuit of Happiness.He was also featured in Episode 28: Industrial Food Can Never Be Sustainable and Episode 29: Scaling Organic Farms To Fit Communities And Nature.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/john-ikerd-why-animal-confinement-normal-episode-one-hundred-eighty-sixThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

In this week's North American Ag Spotlight Chrissy Wozniak talks to Curt Covington, Senior Director of Managed Accounts at AgAmerica, who shares his extensive insights into the state of American agriculture. With over four decades of experience in agricultural banking and a rich background in teaching ag finance, Covington provided a comprehensive overview of the industry's current landscape and future challenges.Covington's journey began in California's Central Valley, where his family farmed nut crops, vineyards, and cotton. He transitioned to agricultural banking in 1979, influenced by his father's advice on the critical role of bankers and landlords in farming. His career saw him hold significant positions at Rabobank, Bank of the West, and Farmer Mac. Currently, at AgAmerica, he leads the Client Success Group, helping clients achieve greater success through strategic lending and expertise.Covington discusses the implications of the recently released State of American Agriculture report. One of the critical points was the decline in the number of U.S. farms, now below 2 million for the first time. This decline is not just a statistical concern but a pressing issue affecting the backbone of rural America. The reduction in family farms impacts funding for essential services like hospitals, schools, and emergency services in rural communities.Several factors contribute to the 14% decline in U.S. farms and the 8% reduction in farmland since 1997. Urban encroachment and the graying of rural America play significant roles. Many farmers, with an average age between 58 and 64, lack successors to take over their operations. The high cost of farming, including soaring input costs and land prices, further exacerbates the issue.Despite the decrease in the number of farms, the average farm size has increased by 7% since 2002. This trend towards larger farms brings both benefits and challenges. Larger operations can achieve greater efficiency, leveraging advanced technology and equipment to reduce costs. However, smaller farms struggle to keep up, especially given that farmers do not set commodity prices, leading to unpredictable profitability.Succession planning remains a significant challenge for multi-generational farms. Only 23% of family farms have a succession plan in place. Covington highlighted the importance of strategic planning and decision-making in ensuring the continuity of farming operations. The reluctance of older generations to hand over control and the complexities of family dynamics often hinder effective succession planning.Curt Covington's insight sheds light on the pressing issues facing American agriculture. He underscores the need for strategic planning, efficient resource management, and support for family farms to sustain the backbone of rural America.Learn more about AgAmerica at https://agamerica.com#farm #farming #agricultureThis episode is sponsored by the American Society of Agriculture Consultants, learn more about their upcoming National Conference in Fort Myers, FloriSend us a Text Message.

May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This week we have a very special guest on the show who is going to tell us about the substantial contribution that Japanese Americans made to American agriculture, especially on the West Coast, from California through Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Ron Inatomi is a third-generation (Sansei) Japanese American who has been working in the produce industry for over 40 years. In our discussion with him, we will learn how industrious the first and second-generation Japanese Americans were and how they rose to be some of the largest growers of fruits and vegetables in the U.S. That was before the war. But after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, all of them were incarcerated and their lands taken from them. After the war, many of them returned and started over from scratch and once again rose to prominence. And some had some help from unexpected places. Tune in to hear this sad but inspiring story.

On May 1, 2024, CEO Mitchell Hora held a Press Conference to provide updates to the 40B SAF GREET Model that was released on April 30, 2024.  Low Carbon Intensity Biofuels are positioned to greatly impact American Agriculture, the 40B announcements provide an indication as to the 45Z rules but don't definitively spell out the details.

Caleb Branson and Shelby Redcorn are the owners of a business that is essential to keep production agriculture going in the U.S. and to keep their small community functioning in the Panhandle of Oklahoma where they live.  Caleb has been operating cranes since he was a child, and both he and Shelby have been self-employed for their entire lives.  Neither of them know anything different than getting paid when there is work and tightening the belts when there is not. In 2017 they started C&S Crane And Steel, offering a myriad of services to farmers and other industries.  From building grain storage facilities to replacing augers on bins, it is this, behind the scenes business, that is there to keep farmers going.  During the interview I asked what motivates a farmer to build their own grain storage facility, and, as you would expect, it was all about giving the farmer the best chance of creating a sustainable business.  But those facilities and other pieces of equipment like them could not be built if it weren't for entrepreneurs like Shelby and Caleb who have the expertise and took the risk to purchase the equipment that provides their community the ability to continually improve their operations. There is folklore surrounding the American Farmer that brings with it a certain prestige, and deservedly so.  We are all standing on someone's shoulders, and without folks like Shelby and Caleb, American Agriculture just couldn't operate and feed the world the way that it does.

Much of American Agriculture is predicted to have a prosperous 2023. But there are concerns. Commodity prices are high but so are inputs. Exports set a record last year but geopolitical strife is simmering on the verge of boiling over. What's the future hold for Ag? Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist with StoneX Financial and a self-proclaimed “glass half-full” guy discusses farm economics, trade, domestic consumption, burning through over-production, and why the USDA is wrong about China among other things.

American Agriculture often times suffers from a disorder I've termed Acute Commodity Mindset. Symptoms of this disorder include thinking customers should purchase what we produce — regardless of what they actually want — and resisting opportunities to up-sell higher profit margin products. We saw both of these behaviors in the recent “spat” with Mexico, who initiated a ban on GMO corn beginning in 2024. Mexico softened their stance on Genetically engineered corn after being threatened by American Ag. Unfortunately, we'll take the wrong lesson from this “victory” over our number two Ag customer, who I believe will ultimately look to replace the U.S. as a corn provider. XtremeAg's Matt Swanson discusses the issue. Sponsored by Pattern Ag pattern.ag, AGvisorPRO getagvisorpro.com, and Truterra truterraag.com

Today's seed industry is dominated by a handful of companies. Approximately 60% of the market is controlled by just four companies. Many of the seeds planted by farmers are controlled by international property rights or patents, that limit how they can be used. Court cases have centred around whether farmers have the right to save and reuse seeds for future harvests. In this programme we'll chart the history of the seed industry, from the 19th century, when the United States government sent seeds in the post to farmers for free, to the growth of genetics in the 20th century which set the foundations for today's market. Ruth Alexander is joined by Courtney Fullilove, Associate Professor of History at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, United States, and author of ‘Profit of the Earth: the global seeds of American Agriculture'; Frank Terhorst, Head of Strategy and Sustainability in the Crop Sciences Division of Bayer Global, the biggest seed company in the world; Michael Fakhri, the United Nation's Special Rapporteur on the right to food, and Professor at the Oregon University School of Law in the United States; and Dr Tamene Yohannes, from the Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute in Ethiopia, which works with community seed banks around the country. Presented by Ruth Alexander. Produced by Beatrice Pickup. (Image: a man holding a pile of seeds in two hands. Credit: Getty/BBC)

I have been wanting to talk to today's podcast guest for over a year! Natalie Kovarik is a Nebraska ranch wife and mom who uses her voice to educate about the realities of agriculture.
