    Rain, Planting Progress & Market Silence: What's Going On in Ag?

    In this episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we kick things off with a recap of the movies we watched over Memorial Day weekend before diving into the relentless rain that just won't quit, and how it's slamming planting progress across the U.S. We break down the nationwide planting report, discuss how severely behind farmers are this season, and ask the big question: why aren't the markets reacting? With major ag regions underwater or still untouched, you'd think we'd see a spike but so far, it's crickets. We also dig into the potential end date for the Mexican beef import shutdown due to the screwworm outbreak and what it could mean moving forward. And don't miss our Made in America spotlight, this week we're fired up about Tacticalories, makers of the bold Helldiver Hot Sauce that'll torch your taste buds in the best way possible.

    Many stories and an interview discussing the U.S. livestock industry in this week's episode, along with ag policy, crop conditions and market news. Agriculture news this week includes weekly crop, weather and market updates in addition to several top agriculture related headlines. On the ag policy front, hundreds of agricultural groups have sent a letter urging Congress to pass legislation that would protect access to key pesticides, another $1 billion for livestock products affected by drought or wildfire in 2023 or 2024 and $14.5 million increase in federal reimbursements to support state meat and poultry inspection programs. Related to the livestock sector, CattleFax CEO Randy Blach recently stated the U.S. cattle herd rebuilding effort may finally be gaining momentum, recently announced $21 million investment in a sterile fly facility in Mexico to fight against the New World screwworm and the USDA's Chief Veterinarian stating the U.S. will likely resume Mexican cattle imports by the end of the year. We close out May Beef Month with an interview talking about many of the challenges the U.S. cattle industry is facing from both bull and bear perspective with National Cattlemen's Beef Association Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane. He talks about some of the opportunities and challenges for U.S. beef in trade relationships, New World screwworm concerns and more when Delaney Howell was in Washington D.C. for the annual NAFB Washington Watch event.

    Season 5, EPISODE 238 It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they answer your questions about implanting your calves, part 2.  Plus join the discussion of free standing panels versus permanent fencing in new corral designs.  We have the markets, horses for sale and lots more on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. For Cow Calf Producers, Implants Have A Clear Advantage There's a perception that non-implanted calves garner a higher premium on sale day than their implanted counterparts. However, data consistently shows no difference in sale price between implanted and non-implanted calves. Why Use Ralgro From Merck Animal Health RALGRO® (zeranol implants) increases weaning weight by 23 pounds on average compared to non-implanted calves, according to Merck Animal Health. With results like that, it's easy to see how cattle implants at the cow-calf level can result in a favorable payday. Free Standing Panels Vs. Permanent Fencing Free-Standing Panels Advantages: Portability: Can be moved or reconfigured easily for different livestock, seasons, or operational needs. Ideal for temporary or seasonal use. Quick Setup & Removal: Require no digging or permanent installation—set up in hours instead of days. Versatile Use: Can be used for corrals, sorting pens, alleyways, or even makeshift chutes or holding pens. Minimal Ground Disturbance: No need to dig post holes or pour concrete, preserving soil and reducing site impact. Ideal for Leasing or Shared Land: Can be used on rented property or rotated across pastures. Disadvantages: Less Durable in Harsh Conditions: More likely to shift, tip, or become unstable in high winds or with aggressive animals. Theft or Misplacement: More prone to being stolen or moved if not secured. Higher Long-Term Cost per Use: Although cheaper upfront than heavy-duty permanent structures, replacing or repairing worn panels can add up. Limited Size & Strength: Often not suitable for large or very strong animals unless reinforced or anchored. Permanent Fencing Advantages: Strength & Durability: More secure for large or aggressive livestock. Withstands weather and repeated use better over time. Low Maintenance (Long-Term): When built correctly with quality materials, requires less frequent repair. Increased Property Value: Adds permanent infrastructure, improving land resale or lease value. Security: Less likely to be tampered with, moved, or stolen. Disadvantages: Expensive Upfront: Higher costs for materials, labor, and installation. Inflexible: Cannot be moved or resized without significant effort and cost. Time-Consuming to Install: May take days or weeks to complete, especially for larger corrals or complex layouts. Requires Permanent Land Use Decision: Not ideal for rotational grazing systems or temporary setups. Which One to Choose? Use Free-Standing Panels if: You need flexibility, have limited budget upfront, are leasing land, or run a mobile or multi-site operation. Choose Permanent Fencing if: You want long-term security, own the land, manage large herds, or need infrastructure that stands the test of time.

    Send us a textGet ready to saddle up and dive into the Wild West like never before! Introducing the dynamic duo, Sam Bass and Calamity Jane, your thrilling new hosts for the extended content of the Wild West Podcast. Adventure awaits as they bring the legendary tales of the frontier to life! A dust highway stretching across the plains moved six million cattle and reshaped America forever. The Western Cattle Trail emerged from economic necessity after the Civil War, when Texas found its millions of longhorns worth pennies locally but commanding up to $40 per head in northern markets. This price gap launched an unprecedented economic engine that would fundamentally alter the American West.Following the path blazed by John T. Lytle in 1874, the trail stretched from the Texas Hill Country through Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), into Kansas and Nebraska, eventually reaching Montana, Wyoming, and even Canada. For two decades, this corridor moved more livestock than all other cattle trails combined, becoming the literal lifeblood of the western economy.The reality of trail life stripped away romantic notions of cowboy existence. Young men—a diverse mix of Southern whites, freed slaves, and Mexican vaqueros—endured brutal conditions for $30 monthly wages. They faced constant dangers: stampedes triggered by lightning storms, treacherous river crossings, and complex negotiations with Native American tribes whose lands they crossed. Upon reaching destinations like Dodge City—"the wickedest little city in America"—these trail-weary cowboys created an economic ecosystem catering specifically to their needs and desires.Beyond moving cattle, the trail catalyzed transformative development across multiple industries. Railroads expanded to service the cattle trade. Meatpacking centers in Chicago and Kansas City exploded with growth. The trail established America's dominance in beef production while fundamentally changing the nation's diet. Though the era ended in the 1890s—ironically made obsolete by the very development it created through barbed wire, expanding railroads, and changing consumer preferences—its legacy pervades American culture and economy today.What seemingly simplistic economic corridors might be reshaping our world right now, their impacts not yet fully visible? Listen as we explore the remarkable story of how moving cows across the plains built modern America.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. "Edward Masterson and the Texas Cowboys," penned by Michael King, takes readers on an exhilarating ride through the American West, focusing on the lively and gritty cattle town of Dodge City, Kansas. This thrilling dime novel plunges into the action-packed year of Ed Masterson's life as a lawman, set against the backdrop of the chaotic cattle trade, filled with fierce conflicts, shifting loyalties, and rampant lawlessness.

Gabe Kenne & Buz KlootLength: ~70 minutesIn this conversation with Dr. Gustavo Lascano, Ruminant Nutrition Specialist at Clemson University, we discuss integrating ecological principles like succession and diversity into farm management to improve animal, soil, and human health. Dr. Lascano describes intricate details of ruminant nutrition and reinforces that it should focus not only on calories but also on proper nutrient balance and feeding the microbial ecosystem within the rumen. His expertise in this field comes not only from advanced degrees and field and laboratory research, but also from experiencing indigenous agricultural systems firsthand and seeing how they offer valuable insights into sustainable, low-input food production systems.Episode Highlights:Rethinking Production Systems with Ecological SuccessionDiverse Background with Global RootsFree Choice Feeding & Ruminant EfficiencyRumen Microbiology & Soil ParallelsIndustrial vs. Regenerative Feeding ModelsAgroecological Inspirations from the AmazonThe Role of Animals in Regenerative AgTo learn more about Dr. Lascano and ruminant nutrition, check out the below links:Gustavo Lascano at Clemson UniversityFaculty ProfileSoil Health Lab Podcast ArchivesVisit WebsiteFeatured in the episode: Cotton, Country, Conservation (8-year regenerative agriculture study)

Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 237 For Cow Calf Producers, Implants Have A Clear Advantage There's a perception that non-implanted calves garner a higher premium on sale day than their implanted counterparts. However, data consistently shows no difference in sale price between implanted and non-implanted calves. Why Use Ralgro From Merck Animal Health RALGRO® (zeranol implants) increases weaning weight by 23 pounds on average compared to non-implanted calves, according to Merck Animal Health. With results like that, it's easy to see how cattle implants at the cow-calf level can result in a favorable payday. U.S.–China Trade War Eases with Major Tariff Reductions on Meat Exports In a significant development for U.S. agriculture, the ongoing U.S.–China trade war eased this week following a new 90-day tariff reduction agreement. The deal brings temporary relief to U.S. meat exporters who have faced steep trade barriers in the Chinese market. Under the agreement, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will drop from 145% to 30%, while China's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including meat, will fall from 125% to 10%. The reductions officially took effect on Wednesday, May 14th, signaling progress as both nations continue trade negotiations. China, the world's largest beef importer, remains a critical market for U.S. meat. In 2024 alone, U.S. exports to China included nearly $1.6 billion in beef, $1.1 billion in pork, and $490 million in poultry meat and products. This temporary tariff relief offers a much-needed boost to American meat producers and exporters while long-term trade talks continue. REFERENCE: https://www.meatingplace.com/Industry/News/Details/119098 USDA Closes U.S. Border to Livestock Imports Amid Northward Spread of New World Screwworm (NWS) The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has once again closed the southern border to live cattle, horses, and bison imports due to the ongoing detection and rapid spread of New World Screwworm or NWS,  in southern Mexico. This latest decision follows continued reports of the parasite advancing further north than previously observed—up to 700 miles from the U.S. border. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the immediate suspension of livestock imports through U.S. ports of entry along the southern border. This action comes after the border had temporarily reopened in early February following enhanced inspections and biosecurity protocols. The border was initially closed in November of the previous year due to similar concerns. The New World Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) poses a significant threat to livestock health and U.S. agriculture. Though eradicated from the United States in 1966, NWS has reemerged in remote areas of southern Mexico, including on farms with limited cattle movement. The pest's resurgence is being treated with high urgency by both U.S. and Mexican officials. To combat the spread, USDA-APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) is working closely with Mexican authorities to increase the release of sterile screwworm flies, the primary method for controlling the pest. This sterile fly technique had successfully helped maintain a barrier zone in southern Mexico and later extended into Panama, serving as a buffer for decades. However, over the past two years, the screwworm has advanced through Central America and back into Mexico, creating an escalating threat to U.S. livestock industries. USDA-APHIS and Mexican counterparts will continue aggressive surveillance, monitoring, and mitigation efforts to stop the spread. The border will remain closed until USDA determines that the risk has been sufficiently mitigated and disease metrics improve.  The decision to suspend cattle imports from Mexico   has led to a downward revision in projected U.S. beef production for 2025 and 2026, according to the agency's latest WAZ-de Report, World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. The report cites tighter cattle supplies and reduced slaughter volumes tied to the import halt as key drivers behind the lower forecasts. Beef exports are also forecast lower as limited domestic supplies are expected to reduce U.S. competitiveness abroad.
