New Year's Resolutions For Ranchers   We all need to have resolutions for the new year!  But what about the ranchers?  Here is our list for 2026: Thou shall finally return the borrowed farm equipment Thou shall keep better records, because apparently, a general sense of where the cows are doesn't count as inventory management. Thou shall reduce shouting by 50% while working cattle with the misses Thou shall check the air in the trailer tires before using it.   Thou shall confirm hand signals before backing up to any implement or trailer with the misses Thou shall make sure all ear tags will be legible and if I can't make them legible, I will assign the task to someone that can write legible.   Thou shall fill all fuel tanks on vehicles when they are down to ¼ tank. Thou shall not assume that everyone that helps sort cows knows exactly what I mean when I shout the black one when 253 of them are black.   Thou shall take the batteries out of the hot shot before working cattle of any kind.   Thou shall remember that everytime working with dogs, horses and animals of any kind at any time is a training opportunity and bad behavior is always rewarded with bad behavior. Thou shall realize that the neighbor is not out to “one up me on everything”.  If they want to get that new truck, let them and be happy for them.   Record Setting Land Prices In 2025 2025 was quite a year, depending on which side of the fence you were on per say.  Records being set in the beef arena of course.  Get this out.  Did you hear of the record $32,000 per acre land sale that took place in early December in Iowa?  Yeah, in Sioux County, near Orange City Iowa, 35.51 acres.  Brownfield's Brent Barnett interviewed Jim Rothermich, the vice president of Iowa Appraisal on the sale and the details.   Reference: https://www.brownfieldagnews.com/news/northwest-iowa-farmland-sells-for-32k-per-acre/   Record Setting Steer Prices The highest prices ever paid for 800–899 lb steers are concentrated entirely in the months of September and October, reflecting a historically strong fall market. Valentine Livestock Auction accounts for five of the top ten sales, underscoring its outsized role in setting record values in this weight class. Nebraska dominates the list overall, hosting eight of the ten highest-priced sales. Four sales reached or exceeded the $400.00 per hundredweight threshold, marking an unprecedented level for 8-weight steers. Pratt Livestock Auction stands as the only market from Kansas to appear among these records, while Hub City Livestock Auction is the sole representative from South Dakota, further highlighting the regional concentration of these historic prices.

#217 iChange Justice Podcast - The Seeds of Sovereignty: A Lifetime of Indigenous Advocacy with Beth BrownfieldIn this special Happy New Year broadcast, host Joy Gilfilen welcomes her longtime mentor and community icon, Beth Brownfield. As we step into 2026 and our fifth season, this episode serves as a masterclass in how one person's "seeds of justice" can ripple across a nation to change laws, denominations, and heart-centered community policies.The Seed of a 12-Year-Old: Beth shares the origin of her activism—a seed planted at age 12 after reading a heartbreaking paragraph of contaminated smallpox blankets sent by the U.S. Army, especially Plains groups, to control the Indian problem. Years later she takes her heartbreaking first response through her journey from the Pine Ridge Reservation to the Pacific Northwest, sharing the heroic stories of Sue Ann Big Crow, who transformed racial tensions through a Lakota shawl dance on a basketball court, and the losing fight of Alex White Plume to grow hemp under the protection of native sovereignty.The Principles of HONOR: Beth details her work with HONOR (Honor Our Neighbors, Origins, and Rights), an organization that worked, at the invitation of Tribes and Nations to: Honor government to government relationships and tribal sovereignty; Affirm Indian treaties; Honor and protect the Earth; Conduct Ourselves in a manner which is respectful of all people; Promote intercultural understanding and awareness. She explains how these principles were practiced in collaborative work to save Whatcom County from the proposed coal terminal, and why the first official acknowledgment of the "first inhabitants of these lands and waters" was an essential first step to restorative justice.The Doctrine of Discovery: One of Beth's most significant legacies is her work inspired by the work of Lummi, Jewel James and Shawnee, Lenape, Steve Newcomb to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery. Beth recounts her campaign to move the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) to pass a national resolution repudiating this archaic legal framework used to dominate the Original Nations and Peoples, their lands, and resources. Beth describes her methodology as being a "Johnny Appleseed" for justice—planting seeds and letting them take root through the work of community action. She leaves us with a powerful call to action for 2026: "If everyone plants “seeds” as they pass through the world, and picks up the garbage in front of them, we could change the world."

Most large enterprises rely on a handful of expansive technology platform solutions to run their business, and the most prominent and widely deployed in oil and gas is SAP. As I've outlined in my books, enterprise solutions such as SAP are also migrating to digital technologies, which triggers a major question: what is the optimal upgrade path for an SAP customer, or any enterprise technology, to adopt? Broadly speaking, there are two strategies to this vexxing question: a brownfield migration or "lift and shift" and a greenfield re-implementation or "start afresh". The problem is that brownfield upgrades rarely deliver any ROI while greenfield is seen as too risky, costly, or complex to execut, especially at the global scale one encounters among the oil and gas majors. Is there a third path, where organizations can preserve their historical data, stay compliant, and still deliver tangible business outcomes? In this episode I speak with Don Mahoney,  Global Head of Products and Innovation at SNP Group about a new approach, coined 'bluefield'. Bluefield lets companies dial in just the right amount of transformation, one that preserves key data, avoids excessive risk, and achieves a positive ROI. I'm very interested in how Bluefield works, how it supports AI training strategies, when to use it, and why it's becoming an attractive model for SAP S/4HANA transitions, and indeed all major platform solution transformations.
