In this episode of the AgWeek Podcast, host Al Winmill sits down with Stephanie Teskey, Strategic Partnerships Manager at AgriWebb and a sixth-generation rancher from Camp Verde, Arizona. Steph bridges the gap between traditional ranching heritage and modern agtech, sharing how moving away from the pocket notebook to digital record-keeping removes emotional bias, helps identify underperforming "freeloader" cattle, and boosts ranch profitability. In this episode, we cover: Life & Culinary Arts: Steph's balancing act between managing cattle in the Arizona heat and baking elaborate wedding cakes—including her own homemade lavender, thyme, rosemary, and honey-buttercream cake. The Transition to Digital: Why offline functionality is critical for rural producers without reliable internet (and how Starlink fits into the mix). Data-Driven Decisions: Using herd metrics to uncover calving interval issues, evaluate bull selection, and make smarter culling decisions. Industry "Hot Takes" & Advocacy: Why relying solely on intuition is a liability for succession planning, bridging the communication gap around corporate sustainability, and using public interest in food supply chains to tell the rancher's story. Support & Financial Incentives: How programs like the Legacy Landscapes Program and Ranching for the Future provide subsidized access to technology and technical assistance for operations across Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. Data Ownership: Why AgriWebb ensures producers retain 100% ownership and control of their operational metrics. Real-World ROI: A Wyoming case study detailing how one producer achieved a 42% improvement in relative weaning percentage and a 75-pound increase in steer weaning weights.

Roundabouts are becoming more common across Arizona as communities try to deal with traffic growth and safety concerns. But not everyone is convinced they're the right solution.   Jeff takes a closer look at the growing push for roundabouts with Steve Lazar, who says he and his neighbors are battling a proposed roundabout in the Cornville area north of Camp Verde and Cottonwood. While the issue may seem local, it touches on bigger statewide transportation debates — including traffic congestion & intersection safety     Later in the show, Jeff talks about the Noah's Ark Card Game, a faith-based, educational card game designed to bring families and generations together through fun, learning, and conversation. Inspired by the Biblical story of Noah's Ark, the game includes animal facts, memory challenges, and questions designed to spark curiosity while reinforcing faith-based values. It's meant to be a screen-free activity that families, classrooms, churches, and even senior centers can enjoy together.    The game features a deck of 144 cards with easy, medium, and hard animal-fact questions, making it accessible for players of different ages and skill levels. https://noahsarkcardgame.com

Welcome to Episode 57 – The Civil War starts and Texans Start Killing Each Other In the previous episode I talked about the path to secession. How Texas called a convention to consider the issue and how, even though some resisted the whole idea, it still went through. In fact, President Lincoln did tell then Governor Sam Houston that if he wanted to resist the convention, then Lincoln would be willing to send in Federal troops. However, Houston rejected that idea because he did not want to turn what was already a tense situation into an outright violent conflict among Texas citizens. Remember that during  the convention, the Civil War Committees of Public Safety was formed. Even though secession had not formerly been approved by the rest of the citizens, the committee  started to negotiate with Maj. Gen. David E. Twiggs, who was the commander of United States troops stationed in Texas. Twiggs, originally from Georgia was in poor health and at the end of his career. On the morning of February 16, Benjamin McCulloch, a veteran Texas Ranger and Mexican War hero, led a force of about 500 volunteers into San Antonio. Once there, they surrounded the garrison at their headquarters and demanded Twiggs surrender. Twiggs did not put up any resistance and readily agreed to the  surrender of all federal property in Texas. He also agreed to evacuate all 2,700 Union troops that were stationed in the various frontier forts. This resulted in Camp Charlotte, Camp Colorado, Camp Cooper, Camp Davis, Camp Del Rio, Camp Montel, Camp San Saba, and Camp Verde all becoming forts for Texas Confederates. It's important to remember that even though a significant majority of Texans approved of the efforts of Texas politicians to support and join the Confederacy there were Texans who were loyal to the Union. After all, more than 14,000 Texans voted against secession. Who were those opposed? Members of various political parties including the Whigs, Know-Nothings, Democrats, and others all maintained some degree of support for the Union. Texas had also seen a very steady stream of German immigrants and from those who originated in the northern (or free) states. These were people who were inclined to support the union. In fact, as 1860 came to a close German immigrants who lived in the Fredericksburg and New Braunfels areas formed the Union Loyalty League. To become a member a person had to swear loyalty to the United States, of course, over the next several years members of the league faced violent reprisals from Confederate sympathizers. In 1862 then Governor Lubbock declared martial law for several counties in the Hill Country (which is where this program originates from and where my ancestors settled) and the confederate legislature passed the Confederate Conscription Act that specifically targeted German Unionists. These actions had the effect of increasing desertions and draft dodging as people did their best to get out of the confederate army. While some German immigrants from the Austin County region did join up and helped to form three companies of Waul's Texas Legion, once they were captured at the battle of Vicksburg, they  quickly took the oath of allegiance to the United States. However, certain of the early Texas Union supporters such as James W. Throckmorton (I spoke about him in the previous episode), and Ben H. Epperson, who was once one of the leaders of those in East Texas who opposed secession, did in fact accept and endorse the Confederacy after Fort Sumter.  Others, such as David G. Burnet, E. M. Pease, and Sam Houston, rather than stay in the public eye, withdrew from public life and did their best to avoid controversy. Some of those opposed to secession either left the state or tried to leave. There were some, such as S. M. Swenson, the man who led or started the immigration of Swedes to Texas and William Marsh Rice, who came to Texas from Massachusetts and who made a fortune in the mercantile busi...

In this episode I break down some of the top players that showed out at the Copper Canyon classic. Seligman has two of the best guards in small ball in Montae and Melo. These guards are athletic and play with a great pace! Camp Verde has one of the funnest guards to watch play the game in Gage Russel. His ability to see the floor and find teammates is special!! Tempe Prep has a GEM!! Austin Sampson is not only a scorer/defender, but he is a special leader!! We also talk about Parker and their standouts Abraham and Maverick!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/azsmallball/support

In episode 89, we take two-day trips from Sedona, Arizona. This is part three of a series of podcasts recapping our travels to Camp Verde, Sedona, and nearby places in Arizona. Day Trips From Sedona We had two main destinations outside of Sedona during our travel to the area - Jerome Arizona and the Grand Canyon. Jerome Arizona Day Trip We booked the Jerome History Walk tour with the Jerome Ghost Tours company.  The small group tour explored the once-booming mining history of the area, visiting key locations in town. We loved listening to stories about the old mining town, saloon escapes, and the rise and decline of Jerome. Book a Jerome History Walk Tour Here   When in Jerome, we highly recommend The Clinkscale for dining.  Our lunch there was fantastic! We started our day attending church at St. Cecilia Catholic Church in nearby Clarkdale, Arizona.  After mass, we strolled the town, which offered a wonderful small-town America feel. Grand Canyon Railway Tour Our next day trip adventure was riding about The Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, AZ, to the Grand Canyon Village. The vintage train traveled through beautiful plains and canyons. We enjoyed the live entertainment including Wild West shoot-out before our ride, and musicians who serenaded us during the journey.  If you haven't seen the Grand Canyon dusted with snow, it is quite a sight to see. Book a Grand Canyon Railway Ride Here   Downtown Sedona Visit We also take a quick stop in Downtown Sedona for shopping, coffee, and browsing the art galleries at the Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village.   Zane Grey RV Village Our week-long stay near Sedona was at the Zane Grey RV Village in Camp Verde. We provide a recap of this stay on today's episode.

In this episode, quite a few things go bump in the night. I hike from Dewey, AZ, to Pie Town, New Mexico, via the Mogollon Rim. Encounter Elk, other campers, and long-distance hikers, and avoid an old west riot! 

Located in Camp Verde, AZ, at the confluence of the Verde River and Oak Creek, lies Alcantara Vineyards. Immediately as we ventured onto the property, we were stunned with the unique beauty of the land. With a tasting room and wedding chapel designed with Tuscan flare, and vines covering the property, a visit to Alcantara transports visitors to an experience beyond AZ. Join us for a chat with Alcantara's winemaker and vineyard manager Ron Brumley.
