Today, we share Part 2 of a special two-part episode celebrating TC Jacoby & Co's 75th anniversary. We'll talk about the milk industry from the '90s to the dairy world of the future. Join Ted Jacoby II, Gus Jacoby, and Ted Jacoby III for the conclusion of our special 2-part episode as we discuss: The first TC Jacoby & Co. cheese desk Our projection for future growth in U.S. cheese exports Our forecast for the future of the global dairy industry We love the dairy industry and look forward to what the future will bring. So, raise your glass of milk, and let's celebrate TC Jacoby's 75 wonderful years in the U.S. dairy industry. Intro audio (with music): Welcome to the Milk Check, a TC Jacoby & Co podcast where we share market insights and analysis with dairy farmers in mind. Ted Jacoby III (T3): Hello, everyone, and welcome to The Milk Check. Today, we have a special edition of our monthly podcast because this year, 2024, TC Jacoby & Co celebrates 75 years of serving the dairy industry. In honor of this special anniversary, we are publishing a two-episode edition where, in the first part, my father, my brother Gus, and I discuss and – in my father's case – tell tales of the first 50 years of our history. In part two, we share the more recent 25 years as well as our thoughts on what the future of the industry may hold. Welcome to part two. There are a lot of other things that were going on in the 90s. I mean, that all started in the 90s. We started our office in Mexico in the 90s. When I came to work for TC Jacoby & Co. in 1996, I spent about four or five months in St. Louis, and then I moved down to Mexico to help us start that office. That was quite the experience, living for a year in Mexico. Ironically, trying to move cheese to Mexico led me back to the States, and starting to sell it in the States. Eventually, I worked with risk management. At the time, we were moving nonfat dry milk into Mexico. We had a company in Mexico then, so we were TC Jacoby & Co in the U.S. selling to TC Jacoby & Co in Mexico. We were warehousing the product in a warehouse in Mexico, selling whey powder, nonfat dry milk, and various other powders to multiple distributors in the area, but then also moving a little bit of cheese. I had one of my suppliers, the cheddar cheese, cancel on me, and so I was calling around looking for cheddar cheese, and another supplier said, “Not only do I have a load of cheddar for you to ship to Mexico, but I also have about 50 other loads of cheese. You should call the guy who canceled on you and see if he needs any extra.” Next thing I know, I'm moving more cheese back and forth in the U.S. than I'm moving to Mexico. And that was when I called you and said, “Dad, I think I'm going to move back to the States, and I'm going to start up a cheese desk.” That was in 1997, and that's how we started trading cheese. We went through the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, and just about everything you, Uncle Bill, and Uncle Tom moved was mainly fluid. Then, in the 90s, we started moving powder. Bill, I think in the 80s, had begun moving powder and butter in the U.S. Ted Jacoby II (T2): Billy used to move a lot of cream from California to the Midwest. Gus Jacoby: Well, remember that was a big time for us because his development of California and the cost to move fluid product at that time was economically feasible in making cream and condensed products supplied by the California Central Valley and delivered on an annualized contractual basis to places as far as the upper Midwest and even into the Mideastern U.S. at time. Understanding the CDFA and the arbitrage between that and the Federal Orders was another thing we took advantage of for a few decades. So that was a big and successful time for us from a trading standpoint of fluid products. T3: And then he was moving non-fat to many of the mozzarella guys in the Midwest when the mozzarella industry was in its infancy; that was when ...

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with singer/songwriter, Vanessa Rae. Vanessa loves writing songs that share her true-life stories with her listeners. Inspired by many artists in the genres of country, gospel, and pop, Vanessa has a unique style all her own. Though Vanessa grew up loving musical theater and singing, it was not until recent years that she was ready to hop on stage and share her voice and songs. Being a native of the California Central Valley, Vanessa has played at several venues and events locally, including opening for Josh Turner earlier this year at the Visalia Fox Theater. Her first album, recently released on December 9th, 2022 shares some of Vanessa's true-life stories with her listeners. She is happy to be sharing her artistry and heart through her new music. Her album shares a title with the first song on the album titled “I'll Go First”. The moral of the story in this song is, “We're all a mess, let's own it, and be a little easier on each other too.” Allowing God to be the guide in her music journey, she is excited and ready for whatever her future holds musically. She hopes that in any opportunity she is blessed with that her live audience will leave feeling good after they see her perform, or her listener will feel at ease, and related to in some capacity. Vanessa cannot wait to share more as the cards unfold for her, and she hopes you will come alongside her in this music journey!

Eighty percent of the country's almonds come from Modesto and eighty percent of our jokes this episode dance so so carefully around getting ligma'd as Jack and Russell check out the Modesto Nuts of the California Central Valley.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Food security is very important to Marc Doll, a candidate for Regional Director in Area C during the upcoming election. “Climate change is here. Its effects are here and they're getting worse. When it comes to our food production, the things that we've depended on for the last 40, 50, 60 years are just not there anymore,” he explained. “We're in a world of climate crisis. We're in a world where the food systems that we have relied on for at least since the end of the Second World War are in big trouble. Look at Lake Mead and the irrigation that supplies the California Central Valley. If you follow the news at all, you're realizing how in jeopardy that particular water source is, and that's not just limited to that. We can go to the groundwater that feeds and irrigates most of the Great Plains. That's where our food comes from.” Prior to the Second World War, Vancouver Island grew about half of its food. Now Doll believes this statistic is closer to 4%-5%. “We need to really focus on getting ourselves together. We have the ability to do that and we definitely have the people here with the knowledge to do that,” he said. “The change can come very, very quickly. The culture of gardening, self sufficiency and independence is present in our [Discovery Island] communities. That's what we can draw on. The percentage of the people here that have started gardens or have had gardens for years is well above what would be the average of a major urban center? Our desire to pay for the value of food isn't there yet, but that is changing.” Doll and his family are the stewards of a 40-acre parcel of Quadra Island called the ‘Foot Forward Forest Farm.'   According to the description on his website, “Every animal and garden system is designed to add more life to the soil: Animals are carefully managed through a holistic intensive grazing system that emulates the patterns of bison and thereby sequesters atmospheric carbon and adds life to the pastures.   A young food forest of nut and fruit trees, growing above berry bushes, herbs, and low growing edible and medicinal plants, models a natural forest and produces food without needing any irrigation.  The Farm practices the principles of no-till gardening, and lots of homemade compost and Actively Aerated Compost tea add life to the soil and fertility to the gardens.  These are practices that Marc learned through his extensive studies with and visits to the farm of renowned social biologist Dr. Elaine Ingham." “I produce sheep, goats, chicken, ducks and pigs on this farm. So we have quite a lot that we offer and our prices are going to be higher than what you have in the grocery store because we raise them with a regenerative model. We raise them without genetic modified organisms and that raises the price. There is enough demand just on this island that I can't keep up with it,” said Doll. “As inflation is creeping into the grocery stores on our islands, people are seeing the value of food and are starting to be not just willing, but actually having to pay a closer percentage of their income towards what food actually costs to produce in a responsible way.” British Columbia may be the only province, or jurisdiction, in North America that gives farmers the ability to legally process meat and sell it directly to restaurants. There is also a movement to allow raw milk sales. “We need to look at how onerous VIHA [Island Health] regulations are to food production,” said Doll. “There are a lot of policy changes that need to be made to help us move forward. We need politicians that understand what those policy changes are and who will go to the table and push for them.”

  Global challenges are abounding, and working in the world of sustainability, health, and wellness has brought many wicked problems to light.  We can describe some of the most challenging social issues we face today as wicked problems. With those problems, we have to re-frame our notion of success. Although they will never get entirely solved, success with wicked problems is about impacting or improving outcomes and mitigating risks.  I am Marla, the Green Home Coach! I am excited to be back in the studio today with my co-host, Tony Pratte, who is joining me to talk about the wicked problem of changing weather.  Stay tuned for more! Crazy weather There has been some crazy weather in St. Louis for the last couple of months! It has been raining a lot, and the driving downpours have caused many problems for land developers.  Lots of rain  Over the last decade or so, we have seen an increase in rainfall in the Oklahoma area. There has been unusual rainfall between March and November- and sometimes even December!  Changing weather patterns Weather patterns appear to be changing everywhere. Even though some of it could be cycles, the changing weather over the last few years has been partially due to the increasing drought in the western part of the United States.  What is rain? When the moisture in the air reacts with water in the ground, it rains. Currently, the ground out west lacks water, so rain is not getting triggered in that area. The moisture that should be causing rain in the west (in California, Arizona, and Nevada) is moving eastwards. Extreme weather patterns Lately, the extreme global weather patterns have become more extreme! You cannot compare Oklahoma with St. Louis You cannot compare Oklahoma with St. Louis because St. Louis is a meteorological anomaly. Most cities have two weather patterns. They are either affected by the Arctic or the Gulf of Mexico. St. Louis gets affected by both, so it has three weather patterns. For weather forecasting, two mathematical equations get combined. In St. Louis, there is a third equation that throws everything off. A river effect St. Louis is at the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, the second-largest freshwater flow in North America. So the state is surrounded by water. That causes a river effect, much like the lake effect at the Great Lakes, which amplifies many weather patterns. That matters because it helps us gauge the changes we see in the weather patterns. Climate shift Things that do not usually occur in certain parts of the country are happening a lot more, and strong weather patterns have been reported in the news. Scientific data shows that the weather is changing, and people are starting to accept it.  Water usage Many large cities are in the desert. Air conditioning makes the heat bearable, but where does the water come from? A limited amount of fresh water exists on the planet that constantly gets recycled through the water cycle. A billion people have problems accessing clean water every day. Yet we keep building big cities in areas with no water (like Las Vegas), and more and more people keep moving to those locations.  Subsidized water The water pumped to the desert cities gets subsidized, so people aren't aware of the real cost. If it was not subsidized, fewer people and businesses might move to those cities. That could relieve some of the strain on the natural resources of those locations and help stabilize the weather patterns. Water rights In the west and in California Central Valley, where a lot of food is grown, water prices are soaring. As the drought in that area worsens, people are buying up water rights. That has created a challenge for small farmers who are unable to compete with the huge conglomerates that own the water rights. Is water an inalienable right? The corporations that own the big farms can use their resources, create hedging strategies, and buy options on commodities like water. So people are talking about whether water is an inalienable right, and if it should be commoditized and purchased.  A perpetual cycle Changing weather affects water patterns, and water patterns affect the weather. It is a perpetual cycle, so it is hard to know where to start if we want to change things. Natural patterns The natural patterns that exist will continue. If there is mismanagement, however, things get thrown out of whack, and problems tend to get amplified.  A wicked problem The water issue is a wicked problem because it requires many different solutions. If we want to continue as a society, we need to figure out how to deal with the effects of the weather changes. Change Change is here, and it is unavoidable. No matter what, we will have to adapt, mitigate, and suffer.  The real cost of water Mitigating and adapting will not solve this problem. If people were charged the actual cost of water in desert cities rather than subsidizing, it could prevent some future suffering.  Thinking differently We have to start thinking differently about water and the changing weather patterns. Some people recognize that, so they use water wisely and consider ways to conserve it when building. Figuring out how to obtain water  Although the agricultural community has probably adapted better than most by coming up with more efficient irrigation systems and using technology tools, we still have to figure out how to capture water and recharge the aquifers. Because thousands of acres of farmland and millions of people are affected by the weather changes.  Wasted water The water from the heavy rains in Oklahoma City over the past weeks has been running through the storm-water systems and into the Gulf of Mexico. That water gets wasted because it mixes with salt water. It would be a much better idea to figure out a way to keep that water fresh and re-introduce it to the water cycle.  Using strategies to overcome the feast or famine effect We can all do something for ourselves to overcome the feast or famine effect resulting from changing weather patterns. Small steps add up.  Gutters in Oklahoma Gutters are not automatically fitted on houses in Oklahoma City because there is usually not enough rain to make them worthwhile. With the climate becoming wetter, more people are putting gutters onto their houses and installing rain barrels and rain gardens to capture the water. No simple answers There is no simple answer to the wicked problem of obtaining enough water for everyone with changing weather patterns. We need to have open and realistic discussions about what is changing weather and the water patterns. It does not matter who caused the problem. What does matter is that we have to fix it. Some simple tips for becoming part of the solution: Use rain barrels (if they are legal in your state) Install a rain garden Buy local produce  Use native plants for landscaping Stand up and speak out about the need for change Have a great green day!   Links and resources: What Makes a Green Home Green Audio Program:  Green Home Coach Study.com video: wicked problems definitions EPA.gov climate indicators Scienceline on how weather affects the way we live EPA.gov Weather.com - weather changes National Geographic - climate change CDC Climate Effects on Health Psychiatry.org

In 1984, fast-moving fire in a hardware store in Pasadena killed four people.In January of 1987, a string of fires broke out in several different retail stores in the California Central Valley...two in Bakersfield, two stores in Tulare, and two more in Fresno. Thankfully, unlike the Pasadena fire, the destruction from these fires in the Central Valley was limited to property damage...no lives were lost.In the next several years, more suspicious fires...dozens actually...were set in the Southern California and the Central Coast areas.Thanks to the hard work, determination, and tenacity of Captain Marvin Casey,  a Bakersfield Fire Department arson investigator, a suspect was identified, apprehended, and prosecuted.If you'd like to support the Notorious Bakersfield podcast, you can buy me a coffee.

The California Central Valley and its agriculture aren't too far from the Bay Area. But, as Marcy Coburn knows well, they're worlds apart. ​Today, Marcy is the creative director at San Francisco's Pier 70, a mixed-use development just south of Oracle Park. Her mom's family moved west from Oklahoma and her dad migrated to California from his childhood home in Central Florida. The two met at Cal Poly Pomona near LA and moved to Visalia to raise a family. Her folks split up and Marcy lived with her mom, who relocated to Stockton when Marcy was 13. She had dabbled in neon in punk before the move, but the kids in her hometown weren't ready for that. Stockton proved to be a better fit for the teenager. ​Once they were 16, she and her friends started taking car trips to Berkeley and San Francisco. But Marcy's move to The City took quite a detour first. She and a friend took a bus to New York City and walked across the country on a "peace walk" in solidarity with American Indians whose lands were being used for nuclear testing. That lasted nine months and ended with them at a test site outside of Las Vegas on Shoshone land. It was on that walk that Marcy came out. Please check back Thursday for Part 2. We recorded this podcast in a construction trailer at Pier 70 in June 2021. Photography by Michelle Kilfeather

Stop Asian Hate / AAPI Community Support: As we close out AAPI Heritage month and Mental Health Awareness month, I know that so many of us continue to feel angry, traumatized and anxious about the increase in Anti-Asian violence, hate speech and microaggressions in our communities. I've been so inspired by how so many have stepped up to organize, educate, and speak up on this, including Holly, who organizes community-based solutions and fundraisers. For AAPI Heritage month, Holly is giving to the Korean Community Center of the East Bay. One of the ways you can stop Asian hate and support elders is by supporting the most vulnerable local AAPI communities by donating to Bus For Hope. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #apahm #aapi #stopaapihate #stopasianhate #endracism Learn More about the history of the Filipino manong generation: (source: Advancing Justice LA)"From 1900 to 1934, Filipinos began immigrating to the California Central Valley, where there was a high demand for field laborers. Filipino immigrants, known as “Pinoys,” worked in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, Salinas, and Sacramento. Another wave of Filipino immigration occurred after the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965.Many Filipinos found themselves isolated from the rest of American society due to anti-Filipino racial incidents, housing discrimination and language barriers. Among male Filipino farmworkers, many remained single into old age due to U.S. anti-miscegenation laws, and are referred to as “ manongs, ” a term of respect for elderly Filipino men.Without labor unions, migrant farmworkers were not being protected under existing labor laws. Living and working conditions were harsh and exploitative, including long hours, low wages, child labor, lack of workers' rights Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/thrivespice)

“Registration of ‘Butta 12’, A Two-Row Malting Barley Adapted to the California Central Valley with Proven Floor-Malting Success and Craft Brewer Acceptance” with Lynn Gallagher and Ron Silberstein California is a prime location for craft brewers and microbreweries. However, fungi and virus disease susceptibility have made it difficult for many barley varieties (such as those used for the malt used in beer and whiskey production elsewhere) to thrive in California’s Central Valley. Lynn Gallagher has spent twenty years developing disease and fungi resistant malting barley varieties. Working with UC Davis, USDA, and Ron Silberstein of Admiral Maltings, he and other barley growers have tested hundreds of barley varieties for both agronomically valuable traits and malting quality. In this episode, we talk with Lynn and Ron about what goes into malting, barley breeding, and the three tiers of testing that malting barleys must undergo before finding their way into your favorite brew. Tune in to learn: The history of malting barley in California What malt is and how it’s made What agronomic traits are valuable in malting barley Why it’s important for barley to be tested at multiple levels of scale before being used in malt production If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/plr2.20067 It will be freely available from 20 November to 4 December, 2020.
