Radicchio has long been a favorite with market farmers for its ability to provide something colorful and delicious in the fall and winter. But with its adaptation to very specific regions of Italy, figuring out how to grow the vegetable in North America has been a bit of a puzzle. Luckily, Lane Selman puts that puzzle together for us with her new book Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable!At almost 400 pages long, the book is fascinating and covers the history of radicchio, the project to find timing and varieties that grow well in North America, and many recipes for how to cook it. Lane and her work with the Culinary Breeding Network has been instrumental in working with Italian seed companies to find and develop varieties that work for growers on this continent. So, listen to this interview and then check out the book!

UK scientists leading research on precision breeding - or genetic editing - say uncertainty around the law in England could put investors off and jeopardise our competitive edge. The technology has rapidly taken hold of plant breeding and development, and has been used to develop vitamin D-rich tomatoes, and bananas that don't turn brown. But there are still many questions surrounding the technique, for farmers, for trade and consumers too. A judicial review this summer found flaws with the way the law was drawn up, but there's uncertainty around how it might be amended.We visit what's widely thought to be the UK's first comunity owned farm, in Shropshire. Siblings Charlotte and Ben Hollins set up a crowd funding enterprise when their landlord told them they'd have to buy the farm or leave, after their tenant farmer father died. Twenty years on it's thriving. And this week we're looking at the different ways that young people are accessing a career in agriciulture. The charity, Countryside Learning Scotland, has launched a two year programme to encourage new entrants into rural employment in the Perth and Kinross area. The Rural Employability Scheme will involve intensive mentoring and work placements for 16 to 25 year olds with little or no farming background. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

In this episode, we head to the Texas Hill Country to visit with Kathy Palladini of Double K Longhorns. Kathy and her husband, Keith, run a 2,000-acre operation just outside Junction, Texas, where they raise registered Texas Longhorns with an emphasis on the whole animal.Kathy shares the story behind their breeding program, the traits they value in their cattle, and what goes into building a herd with purpose. She also talks about another passion that has grown alongside the ranch—photography. With a talent for capturing the beauty and character of Longhorns, Kathy has built a canvas art business that brings her creative eye and cattle operation together.It's a conversation about breeding better cattle, seeing the beauty in the details, and turning a love for Longhorns into something even bigger.Double K Longhorns: https://www.doubleklonghorns.com/HomeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoubleKLonghorns#Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dbl_k_longhorns/Send us Fan Mail From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

It's well accepted that management decisions during the first few weeks of life, can impact the long-term trajectory of success. Easy examples of this fact are colostrum management, plane of nutrition and vaccinations just to name a few. One can typically expect an increase in average daily gain, will return in the bulk tank 2 years later. Research on social housing over the years has shown an increased rate of gain during the milk phase, but hasn't captured the implications later in life. First calf heifers transitioning into the milk string tend to be skittish, reluctant to enter the feed alley and fight with the boss cow. Through this transition, her size matters but also her ability to remain resilient in consistently tolerating the social attributes of the milk string. Dr. Emily Miller-Cushon, and her team of researchers from the University of FL in Gainesville really wanted to measure the impact of housing type on long-term effects, therefore they made the investment to compare individual, paired or group housing to determine if one housing type would dramatically impact her first lactation success. Listen in today to learn how social housing could improve your profits through increased survival and milk yields through social resilience. Topics of discussion 1:49 Introduction of Dr. Emily Miller-Cushon 2:47 Background overview of social housing 4:52 Project objectives and study design; individual, paired or group housed calves 6:04 What's the best way to begin implementing paired housing on farm? 8:26 Managing the first two weeks of life for large groups 9:30 What's the ideal age range in paired and groups. 10:24 Diets fed 11:48 Breeding aged culling rate 12:41 Cull risk timing (Figure 1) 14:01 ADG did not explain the milk yield change (Figure 4) 18:43 Cross sucking and mammary health 22:11 Longterm effects of paired housing, survival through lactation (Figure 2) 24:15 Milk production, first 5 weeks (Figure 3) 26:42 Disproportionately culled high producing, individually housed animals 28:04 What do you want boots on the ground dairymen to know from your research?

On the far side of an unmapped gate, reality stays put only while someone is watching.Lieutenant David Harrell expects Gate Eleven to be another routine survey. Instead, one crewman's arm emerges from a bulkhead six meters from his body, equipment relocates between blinks, and the route home vanishes. The rule seems simple: keep human eyes on the ship, and its shape holds. Look away, and anything may return altered.Cameras soon stop counting. Sleep becomes a liability. As exhaustion strips the crew of privacy and trust, the Breton begins growing rooms that were never built into its hull: childhood kitchens, forgotten corridors, private places dredged from memory. Outside, a silent fleet of dead ships lines an endless passage, including one vessel the crew knows far too well.To escape, Harrell must keep four frightened men alive while the impossible world learns what they remember, what they regret, and where they refuse to look. Every hour makes the ship less recognizable. Every lapse of attention gives the corridor another chance to rearrange them.

What does it take to turn a lifetime of breeding experience into a library of respected reference books? In this episode, we sit down with poultry breeder, author, and publisher Jeff Duguay, the creator of the acclaimed Making It to Champion Row series. While Jeff is widely known for his expertise in exhibition poultry, this conversation goes beyond the birds and into the story behind the books. Jeff shares how a passion for raising chickens evolved into a mission to preserve knowledge, document breeding practices, and create resources for serious exhibition breeders. We explore the challenges of writing in a highly specialized niche, the research required to separate tradition from proven fact, and why authoritative books continue to matter in an age dominated by online information. From his breed-specific works on Modern Game Bantams, Old English Game Bantams, Silkies, Cochins, Belgian d'Uccles, Sebrights, Belgian d'Anvers, and Crested Breeds, Jeff discusses what judges really look for, how successful breeding programs are built, and the recurring patterns he has observed among champion birds. The conversation also examines the realities of publishing niche hobby books, the responsibility of preserving knowledge before it disappears, and the lessons Jeff has learned as both a breeder and an author. Along the way, he reflects on the books that challenged him most, the feedback that shaped his work, and what he hopes future generations of poultry breeders will gain from his writings. Whether you're an exhibition breeder, a poultry enthusiast, an aspiring author, or simply fascinated by how expertise is captured and passed on, this episode offers a rare look at the intersection of breeding, writing, and legacy. In this episode, you'll learn: How Jeff Duguay became an author and publisher The inspiration behind the Champion Row book series Why serious breeders still rely on books in the internet age The process of researching and documenting specialized poultry knowledge Common misconceptions about breeding and exhibition success What separates champion birds from the rest The challenges of publishing in a niche field Why preserving breeding knowledge matters for future generations The legacy Jeff hopes his work will leave behind Join us for a conversation about craftsmanship, documentation, and the enduring value of putting hard-earned knowledge into print. #JeffDuguay #ChampionRow #PoultryBreeding #ExhibitionPoultry #PoultryBooks #ChickenBreeding #HeritageBreeds #PoultryPodcast #LivestockPublishing #BreedingForExcellence #AuthorInterview #PreservingKnowledge Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

Winter gives poultry keepers something we rarely have during the busy season: an opportunity to slow down, look back, and decide what genuinely needs improvement.A winter flock reset does not mean changing everything. It means identifying the routines, systems, and decisions that made poultry keeping harder than necessary—and correcting them before another breeding or hatching season begins.In this episode, Rip Stalvey, Jeff Mattocks, Carey Blackmon, and Sue Dobson discuss how to evaluate the past year honestly. They examine breeding results, recordkeeping, housing, ventilation, watering systems, mud and litter problems, nutrition, body condition, winter enrichment, and preparations for the next breeding season.You'll also hear why changing several things at once makes it nearly impossible to determine what worked, how your birds' behavior can reveal whether a change is helping, and why some successful parts of your system should be left alone.The goal is not a complete overhaul. It is a more manageable flock, stronger birds, better breeding decisions, and fewer avoidable problems next year.If you enjoy thoughtful, experience-based poultry information like this, that's what this channel is all about.#PoultryKeepers360 #WinterChickenCare #FlockManagementTIMESTAMPS & CHAPTERS00:00 Using winter as a practical reset 01:24 Evaluating the past year's results 04:06 Learning from experienced poultry keepers 13:38 Records, observations, and breeding plans 17:40 Housing and ventilation 22:30 Water, mud, litter, and manure 27:56 A word from Fertrell 30:11 Winter watering systems and frostbite 33:24 Viewer questions about garlic and flock health 37:23 What body condition reveals about feeding 40:09 Feed quality, supplements, and behavior 47:12 How much feed do chickens need? 51:22 Preventing winter boredom and aggression 56:35 Selecting and pairing breeding birds 59:39 Winter jobs that prepare for breeding season 1:02:50 Is the system failing—or the follow-through? 1:03:51 Keep what works and measure the results 1:05:44 Change one thing at a time 1:07:52 Breeding goals and difficult selection decisions 1:09:24 Closing thoughtsListen to the Audio Edition here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDRODbVf9y3gWatch the Video Edition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGfX27f-7_IJoin our Facebook Groups:Poultry Keepers 360 - - https://www.facebook.com/groups/354973752688125Poultry Breeders Nutrition - https://www.facebook.com/groups/4908798409211973
Solo Select founder Melanie Smith joins The Score 30 days out from the second Solo Select Rope Horse Futurity, Sept. 30–Oct. 1 at Circle T Arena in Hamilton, Texas, where a minimum $620,000 in added money is on the line for 4-year-olds in heading, heeling, breakaway and tie-down.Smith explains where the added money comes from (a cut of every 2026 breeding fee), what makes a horse eligible (one paid contract to a nominated stallion equals one entry, any sire), and how the 40/60 payout works: every entry runs for the 40 percent contract pot, offspring of Solo Select stallions that make the short round draw the 60 percent sire pot, and unclaimed sire-pot money rolls back to contract holders. She also makes the case for the clean-slate finals, the $50,000-added Intermediate on each end, and the long-term goal of the whole program: making yearlings, 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds worth more money.The second half gets into managing junior stallions — setting Third Edge's fee, why hype doesn't matter if the babies don't win, and why Solo Select breeds its own mares to its young horses — plus the cutting, cow horse and $100,000 recipient mare incentives.Entries close Sept. 28.

It's another Listener Mail episode of High on Home Grown, and this week we've got questions covering everything from drying cannabis in extreme desert conditions to running a perpetual grow in two narrow tents, with plenty of completely unrelated nonsense thrown in for good measure! Desert MK brings us not one but two questions this week. First up, we tackle the nightmare of trying to dry cannabis when you're dealing with temperatures around 105°F (40°C) and single-digit humidity. With even air-conditioned rooms struggling to get below 75°F, Desert MK asks about the Lotus method, using a refrigerator and paper bags to dry the harvest, and whether there are other alternative drying and curing methods worth considering. Could this be the perfect excuse for another Grow Guide? Then Desert MK has another question, this time about VPD. If all the charts say a VPD of 6.5 KPa should be disastrous, how are outdoor plants surviving and thriving in 105-110°F desert conditions? We get into the difference between what the calculators tell us and what plants actually experience, and why simply looking at one number doesn't always tell the whole story. Phil Me Bowls gets us thinking about the munchies. Is there actually a connection between the type of cannabis high you're experiencing and the snacks you choose? Does a more cerebral high send you towards completely different food choices than a heavy body stone? Or are we just looking for an excuse to eat everything in the cupboard? Lobby Lobster brings the chaos with a Shag, Marry, Avoid involving Putin, Trump and Kim Jong Un, before getting back to the important questions. Will we be bringing back another legendary strain list when the Grow Guides return, and if each panel member could breed their own strain and give it a name, what would they call it? SMG is planning a perpetual grow using two narrow tents in a garage, with one tent for veg and one for flower. The question is whether it's possible to connect the two tents using ducting while running both environments from a single extractor fan, and what problems might arise when trying to maintain the right conditions in two separate growing spaces. And finally, Free Nugz gives us another classic panel question: if we were intentionally stranded on a desert island with the other panel members and could bring just two items from home, what would we choose? Because apparently being stranded on an island with this lot wasn't already punishment enough. As always, plenty of growing advice, questionable decisions, strange hypotheticals and panel debates in this week's Listener Mail!
WHAT PLANTS ARE CUSTOMERS SEARCHING FOR & WHERE IS BREEDING STILL OPEN? FROM THE SEPTEMBER 2026 ISSUE OF GROWERTALKS MAGAZINE WRITTEN BY CHI NGUYEN, SETH WANNEMUEHLER AND MIKE SCHNELLE NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS EXCERPT: Every breeding program eventually faces the same difficult question: Where should the next five to 10 years of effort go? Grower experience, customer requests and historical sales remain essential, but they mostly describe what's already known. They may not reveal where consumer attention is building or where the competitive space is already crowded. A recent HortScience study developed a Breeding Opportunity Index (BOI) to add that missing layer by combining U.S. Google Trends data with U.S. plant patent records. USDA production data provided the geographic context. The goal was to screen genera and traits before committing years of breeding, trial space or licensing resources.

Matt and Tyler dig into the numbers the US Fish & Wildlife Service just dropped: the 2026 Waterfowl Breeding Population Survey. Mallards, teal, and pintail are all down from last year, but the pond count is up 14% and North Dakota broods jumped 55% — so what does it actually mean for this fall's hunting? Plus: a recap of the Waterfowl Hunters Expo in Oshkosh (including a fan-girl moment with retriever training legends Pat Burns and Mike Lardy), a debate on whether hunting regulations should change, and a heat-safety reminder for anyone still chasing teal this week.

Episode #155 of Daffy's Round Table. On this episode, I'm joined by Nicole from Nikki's Nataliae, along with returning guests Eyal and Rebecca from Responsible Reptile and JF from Beauregard Reptiles, for Acanthosaura Round Table Part 4.Nicole joins us for the first time and we get into her collection, her experiences keeping Acanthosaura nataliae, some really interesting growth charts she put together, and her trip to see nataliae in person.We also catch up with Eyal, Rebecca, and JF and talk about what everyone has learned since the last round table. We get into Acanthosaura in the wild, mountain horned dragon diets, breeding, husbandry, growth, and some of the changes everyone has made based on their own experiences keeping these animals.One of the things I always enjoy about these round table episodes is getting several experienced keepers together and comparing what is working, what has changed, and what we are still trying to figure out. If you keep mountain horned dragons, are thinking about getting into Acanthosaura, or just want to learn more about these incredible lizards, there is a ton of great information in this one.Huge thank you to Exo Terra for sponsoring this podcast and making this episode possible.

Breeding has been a debate for decades, and with shelters overflowing, there's even more of a reason to adopt a dog rather than buying. But some dog breeders in St. Louis say that they breed ethically, and that buying a dog might not always be a bad thing.
Jeremy Zakis, Part Two: Zakis reports on springtime in New South Wales, beginning with magpie breeding and swooping season—the start of nesting and defensive "dive-bombing" behavior, contrasted with the birds' remarkable memory and facial recognition that allow them to remember friendly locals. He notes the arrival of docile currawongs peacefully sharing garden space and pet biscuits with local magpies and dogs. The conversation turns to protecting ecosystems amid housing demands: addressing Australia's housing shortage by re-zoning and building dense apartment blocks in existing suburbs rather than clearing native bushlands and koala habitats. Finally, Zakis examines the Ashescricket re-evaluation—how England's tactical victory over Pakistan under new captain Joe Root signals a return to conservative cricket, forcing Australia to rethink its youthful Ashes strategy.

Looking to change your Merino genetics? What actually happens when you switch types? For our guest this week, Dom Hallam, it started with his parents.Coming from a traditional fine wool background, they began looking for something different, eventually bringing sheep from New England into their flock. The change was rapid, and before long the sheep looked very different. His parents' willingness to try something new eventually led them into breeding their own rams and establishing the Cooee Merino stud. A few years ago, Dom came across a type of Merino that caught his attention when 'browsing sheep on the internet', as one does. Those sheep were Konsortium Merinos. Originally from South Africa, they have been bred in Australia to become a very fertile, wrinkle-free Merino with great meat attributes. Dom travelled to see the sheep and decided he was bringing some home with him. Tune in to see how they've performed and how he's planning to cross them with his original flock. Before he returned to the family farm, Dom spent time in the US studying horse dentistry. What he learnt about skull structure and dentition has stayed with him, and he now considers those same principles when breeding sheep. He has some unique insights into issues such as undershot jaws. For Dom, the interesting part of breeding is that there is always another question to ask and another change to make. The best advice he learnt from his parents? 'You can't change unless you change.'Ferg is out and about on the road over the coming weeks.

When most people think about cat shows, they picture beautiful, pampered cats competing for ribbons. But there is so much more to the world of pedigreed cats than meets the eye. My guest, Teresa Keiger, wears many hats in the world of cats. She is a CFA (Cat Fanciers Association) Judge, A Russian Blue breeder, editor of Cat Talk magazine, owner of a graphics design business, providers of graphics for the CWA (Cat Writers Association). Wheww! Needless to say, Teresa stays very busy! Teresa shares how she became involved in the world of pedigreed cats and discusses her work with the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA). We also talk about traveling with show cats, what it's like to judge cats, and the many people who dedicate their lives to preserving and improving the breeds they love. During the second half of our conversation, we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in the cat world: responsible breeding. Did you know that only about 3% to 5% of domestic cats come from intentional, responsible breeding programs? We discuss why ethical breeding plays an important role in preserving healthy bloodlines, maintaining breed standards, and helping ensure that many beloved breeds continue to thrive for future generations. Whether you've always wondered what happens at a cat show, are curious about pedigreed cats, or simply want a better understanding of responsible breeding, this episode offers an informative look into a fascinating part of the cat world.

Today on the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, Peggy sits down with Luke Getty of Ideal Dairy and Cookiecutter Holsteins in Eastern New York to discuss the role of genetics, technology, and long-term decision-making in building a successful dairy operation. Getty shares the evolution of the family-owned business, which has grown through strategic expansion while also developing a global genetics program.He reflects on the transition to Ideal Dairy, his early skepticism around genomics, and how seeing genomic outliers become top-performing animals changed his perspective. He also discusses how IVF, genomic testing, and intentional breeding decisions have helped accelerate genetic progress and support the dairy's growth.Getty shares how the operation approaches breeding for cows that are moderate in size, productive, healthy, fertile, and built for longevity, with a focus on traits such as strong feet and udders, high components, and mastitis resistance. He also highlights measurable improvements in herd health, including somatic cell count, and explains how genetics can support both current performance and long-term sustainability.United Sires is a partnership of well-known Holstein breeders from the United States bringing genetic solutions to dairy producers worldwide. Our mission, “Breed the Best, Better,” reflects the work we have been doing on our farms for generations. As multi-generational dairy farmers, we adhere to a simple yet powerful principle: We Milk What We Make. We understand the importance of breeding cattle that are profitable throughout their lifetimes, functional across all dairy enterprises, and aesthetically pleasing.

Dandies Down Under: Breeding with Integrity and Soft Outlines Laura Reeves sits down with Emma Greenway of Jolly Gaze kennels in Victoria, Australia, for an in-depth conversation on the history, breeding and styling of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier. This episode of the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Diaries is part of Pure Dog Talk's Clubhouse. The series features members of the Club Partnership Program who are working to preserve the knowledge of their legacy breeders. [caption id="attachment_17065" align="alignleft" width="300"] Emma Greenway and two Jolly Gaze puppies.[/caption] Drawing on nearly 40 years of experience, a background as a historian, and a PhD in Australian canine history, Emma shares her unique perspective on how geographic isolation forced her to “interrogate” the breed standard. Whether you are a Dandie devotee or a general student of dog history, this episode offers a masterclass in breeding with integrity, mentoring across borders and staying true to the soul of your breed. From Schnauzers to Dandies: The Early Lessons of SportsmanshipEmma began her journey with Miniature Schnauzers, learning the ropes of grooming, showing and standard analysis from a generous mentor who modeled impeccable sportsmanship and grace in defeat.Her early love for the Dandie Dinmont Terrier eventually led her to seek out the breed, though she faced the hurdle of only one active breeder remaining in Australia at the time. "Generosity breeds generosity... we have to work together and we have to share our knowledge." — Emma Greenway The Quest for the Foundation Bitch: Flying to the UKDetermined to acquire a top-tier foundation bitch, Emma traveled to the UK. She studied the breed standard obsessively and chose a bitch at a Birmingham show purely based on her own standard evaluation rather than the judge's placement.Through the generosity of a prominent UK breeder, Emma secured her foundation bitch in 1992 (arriving in Australia in 1993), which she later bred to a respected male acquired from New Zealand expats. A Historian's Eye on the Australian Dandie Legacy Emma recounts the history of Dandie Dinmonts in Australia, noting they were reintroduced in 1969 by Mary McCall (initially a Westie breeder) using imports from the famous Bellmead Kennels.She shares the chilling story of Bellmead maid Peggy Hume, who described the tragic loss of bloodlines during WWII, wheeling down deceased dogs in wheelbarrows due to extreme wartime starvation.Other early Australian pioneers of the breed ultimately drifted away from Dandies because establishing lines and winning against flashy terriers was exceptionally difficult. "Our breed standard says body colour coming well down shoulder and hips gradually, gradually emerging into colour of legs. Not a line. Not a line anywhere. It's a gradual merging. It's natural." — Emma Greenway The Advantage of Isolation: Rejecting the "Cookie-Cutter" RecipeWhile isolation in Australia presented logistical hurdles, Emma credits it as a blessing. Without local handlers or a dominant local show trend to emulate, she was forced to deeply interrogate the breed standard to guide her grooming and breeding choices.She warns against "recipe grooming"—where exhibitors blindly copy winning handlers without understanding why. Interrogating the standard yourself builds a detailed eye for puppies and prevents kennel blindness. Grooming Philosophy: Soft Curves vs. Sharp Lines Coming from Miniature Schnauzers, Emma highlights the stark contrast in grooming: Schnauzers are about sharp, square lines and dramatic skirts.Dandies, by contrast, are defined by soft, natural curves. Emma notes that the standard explicitly calls for the body color to gradually merge into the leg furnishings, rather than displaying a sharp, abrupt line or skirt. "In dandies, we don't have the luxury of throwing everything out. Sometimes you have to go back a bit to go forward a bit. Or sideways." — Emma Greenway Breeding Priorities: Multi-Generational Planning in a "Gene Puddle"Emma describes the reality of breeding a rare breed with highly restricted genetics. Referencing Betty-Anne Stenmark's famous description, she notes that Dandie breeders are working in a "gene puddle" rather than a gene pool, where all living dogs trace back to just two 19th-century stud dogs.Because she is the sole active breeder in her region, Emma must plan 3 to 4 generations ahead to ensure genetic diversity and preserve future combination options.While she predominantly line breeds, she occasionally imports outside lines. Her selection criteria post-outcross focus heavily on keeping puppies that resemble the Jolly Gaze style while selecting for softer, more pet-friendly temperaments. The Hallmarks of a Dandie: Outline, Head and the Power of "Weasley" If summarized, the hallmark of the Dandie Dinmont lies in its outline and headpiece.Emma champions the preservation of the word "Weasley" (present in UK, Canadian, and original standards, but omitted from the US standard in the 1970s), which beautifully captures the breed's distinct curvy silhouette and athletic capability. The Social History of Breed Standards and the Future of Dog Shows Drawing on her PhD research, Emma discusses how modern breed concepts didn't exist before 1820. She notes that while working "utility" drove early types, the 19th-century middle class artificially shaped breed standards to elevate the dogs' social status.Looking ahead, Emma voices concern about the aging community, rising administrative regulations and the lack of young exhibitors learning to groom. She sees Asia's rising middle class as a shining hope for the future of purebred dogs.
