In this episode of the Acres U.S.A. podcast, we have a throwback from the early 2000s Eco-Ag Conference. Fred Walters introduces his father, Charles Walters, the founder of Acres U.S.A.. Charles shares his extensive insights on the state of ecological agriculture in the early 2000s, reflections on the growth and impact of organic and regenerative farming, and anecdotes from his personal experiences. He discusses the challenges faced by the farming community, the importance of consumer-driven demand for organic/regeneratively grown products, and the critical role of sustainable practices in improving both agriculture and public health. The episode also highlights the historical and ongoing impact of Acres U.S.A. in promoting productive and eco-friendly farming techniques.  Charles was ahead of his time with many things he talked about. Our mission now with Acres U.S.A. is to continue to be the leading media company in this industry, while creating an arena for this information to be shared and talked about openly, and engage everyone who cares to listen!  Important Links from Today's Episode: Members site: https://members.acresusa.com Acres U.S.A.

Tracy Lord scheint das perfekte Leben zu führen. Jung, reich und kurz vor ihrer Traumhochzeit, könnte ihr Leben kaum besser sein. Doch es ist bereits ihre zweite Ehe – ein ungewöhnlicher Schritt für das konservative Umfeld der Lords. Tracy ist jedoch anders als ihre Mitmenschen: rebellisch und auf der Suche nach sich selbst. Als dann auch noch ihr Ex-Mann und ein hartnäckiges Reporterteam vor ihrer Tür auftauchen, gerät ihr Leben in ein emotionales Chaos. Mit „High Society“ lieferte Charles Walters 1956 eine leicht modernisierte Version der klassischen Filmkomödie „Die Nacht vor der Hochzeit“. Statt Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart und Cary Grant glänzen in dieser Neuauflage die Musiklegenden Frank Sinatra und Bing Crosby als rivalisierende Liebhaber, die alles daransetzen, Tracy von der Hochzeit abzubringen. Wie es sich für Hollywood in den 1950er Jahren gehört, wird dabei viel gesungen. Sogar Jazz-Ikone Louis Armstrong tritt in dem Film auf und steuert einige unvergessliche Musikstücke bei. Hinter der heiteren Fassade der Musical-Komödie verbirgt sich jedoch auch eine subtile Kritik an der amerikanischen Oberschicht der 1950er Jahre. Der Film gibt Einblicke in das Leben der Reichen, die abseits der normalen Gesellschaft in prächtigen Villen feiern und trinken. In dieser Folge von „Das Filmmagazin“ besprechen wir, ob der Klassiker auch heute noch sehenswert ist.

Welcome to Tractor Time, brought to you by Acres U.S.A., the Voice of Eco-Agriculture. I’m your host, Ryan Slabaugh, the GM and publisher of Acres USA. Last week, I took a trip. I spent about 36 hours in the car driving from Colorado to Illinois, down to Columbia, Missouri, back to Illinois, and back home to Colorado. For a few days while I was in Missouri, I spent time at a sacred ground to us. At the University of Missouri, hidden among the tall brick buildings, is an open space called “Sanborn Field,” run by a guy named Tim Reinbott. You probably recognize the name if you’ve ever been to our conference. There, Tim has built and preserved what a professor named William Albrecht built there a century ago. Prof. Albrecht started test plots in hopes of showing what happens when you grow corn, continuously without fertilizer or manure, and what that does to the soil. I’ll save you the suspense. It looks terrible. The stalks, miniature compared to the other, more well-fed test plots, were brown and only about two feet tall. The video’s on our website, ecofarmingdaily.com, if you want to check it out, too. But it’s him talking about how, because Missouri’s soil has natural phosphorous and nitrogen, it wouldn’t take much to regenerate that continuous corn plot. But they aren’t going to do it. It’s too good of a reminder. It was near these fields that Charles Walters met William Albrecht for the first time. Charles, while trying to piece together the information that would build the foundation for Acres USA’s belief in ecology-based agriculture, found scientists he kept interviewing telling him about Albrecht. Charles being Charles, he did his research and found out Prof. Albrecht was just down the road a couple hours. He called the university, and they told him not to bother. But, again, Charles being Charles, he got in the car anyway and drove to meet the scientist. When he knocked on the door, a voice boomed out, “Don’t knock when you enter and leave the same way.” Charles walked in – and I learned all this from his son, Fred – and when Charles walked in, without even an introduction, said, “You must be from Western Kansas. You have good teeth.” Albrecht had pioneered research to connect local food to local health. It’s science that more should understand today. He pulled dental records from the military and matched those with the amount of calcium found in the soil and they matched. It’s an incredible study, still available for free on the University of Missouri’s academic research site. Anyway, the conversation sparked a longtime friendship. Charles would edit more than a dozen volumes of Albrecht’s research, and used that research to develop his stubborn and accurate view of agriculture – that the only way to make money, to make farming a viable job, is to work with nature. He met other Albrecht students like Neal Kinsey, and founded a lifetime friendship – in fact, Neal and Charles may have been Albrecht’s last students. In Columbia, we heard from more than a dozen farmers and consultants who employ the Albrecht system of growing, and have proven results. Most of them are using the mineralization techniques Albrecht preached – balancing magnesium and calcium – and advancing on that research with biological techniques of composting and manure and the like. Nobody walked away with a question of whether or not the methods lead to results. The irony – was that all this was being presented in Monsanto Auditorium. Their hold on farmers being educated is not lost, but the biological processes we were sharing in its halls were far more important. In a cynical way, it just reinforced why we were all there, and why Sanborn Field down the street is so sacred. So anyway, all this driving and inspiration got me thinking, that for our next show, we needed to go back in time and dip into our archives, and find a good conversation with Charles Walters. We found one of the last talks of his career, and it was aptly titled, “Then, Today & Tomorrow.” Given in 2006, you will find it’s still relevant today. Charles passed away a couple years later, so I guess we are in his tomorrow. To all those listening, let’s keep up the good work, keep our food connected to nature, and feel blessed to have those who came before us pave such a clear path ahead.      

The unheralded king of MGM musicals, Charles Walters revolutionised the genre. Paul talks with Stephen Vagg about his career - and from the archives a rare 1997 interview with ventriloquist/entertainer Ron Blaskett.

It’s that sound again – tractors, the voice of Charles Walters, and that happy little strum. It all means we are launching into a second season of Tractor Time Podcast by Acres U.S.A., the podcast for farmers who care about the Earth. My name is Ryan Slabaugh, and I’m lucky enough to be your host for a second season. We have a lot in store this year. We are going to talk about a lot of eco-farming tactics and methods. We’re going to go back in time and listen to age-old talks that still apply today. We’re going to talk about with surveyers about the loss of farmland, and what you and I can do about it. Our goal this year is to also make sure we are talking with young f armers, to better understand how they see themselves fitting into the future of agriculture. Anyway, we’re so excited, we hope you are too.  Today’s episode, like our very first episode, starts with the voice of Charles Walters. Charles started Acres USA in 1971 as a vehicle to report on the challenges facing small farms, and to help give farmers a resource for good, healthy, ecological growing in the face of large-scale toxic takeovers of our methods. In today’s talk that we are re-airing from an Acres USA Eco-Ag conference in 1993, Charles introduces us to Neal Kinsey, who at the time, was new to the Acres USA family, and working on his legendary book, Hands on Agronomy. The book has sold thousands of copies to farmers and growers all over the world. In this talk, again from 1993, Neal talks about the premises of his book, Hands on Agronomy. Enjoy, and thanks for joining us again for another season of Tractor Time. Find all the Tractor Time episodes here, or on iTunes.   

Ester Williams headlines this drama, comedy, cartoon about the exploits of the Higgins family as they train for the English Channel swim. It's the whole family picking up from rural Arkansas and heading the the south coast of England to train and prepare for this epic swim. And why you ask are they training for this incredibly challenging swim? Well, to buy a prize bull of course! Well, that's not the only reason as you'll find out as you learn more about the motivations and connections of this special and especially athletic family. Directed by Charles Walters it also stars the "fabulous" Fernando Lamas, Jack Carson, Charlotte Greenwood, Denise Darcel and my favorite William Demarest. So pull on your swim suit for a rollicking good time. And oh, I almost forgot, Tom and Jerry make an appearance as well!

Charles Walters, Sr. started a newspaper exclusively devoted to ecologically sound agriculture in the early 1970's. Today it is still a powerful voice for eco-agriculture (www.acresusa.com), letting farmers, and those who would like to be farmers, know that there is a way to make an economically sound business out of producing healthy food. This is an incredibly important contribution to the future of America, where our food supply has become ever more polluted by chemical agriculture and factory food processing since around the time of World War II. Acres USA features educational articles and real-life stories of farmers who are large-scale farmers committed to care for the Earth and producing food that can help us regain our health through clean nutrition. I was fortunate to meet with Charles Walters Sr. twice during his lifetime, and was very impressed with his depth of insight into how to heal American agriculture and the American economy at the same time. Ryan Slabaugh is General Manager of Acres USA, keeping alive the Legacy of Charles Walters, Sr. He is leading an operation that is not only educating farmers and those interested in moving agriculture toward a more sustainable future in harmony with nature through the monthly magazine (subscribe at www.acresusa.com), but is also doing this through the medium of workshops and conferences, two of which are coming up this summer. We will get a chance to talk in some detail about what will be taught at these events, and get into what Acres USA sees as the future of American food and farming. Everyone is concerned about GMO's and chemicals in the food supply. But some like Acres USA are working toward solutions, and I urge you to learn about them and listen in on my conversation with Ryan Slabaugh. His work is a sign of great hope for the future.

As Charles Walters, founder of Acres U.S.A., said in his talk in this week's podcast, if he had asked his father in 1945: “Are you an organic farmer, he would have said 'What’s that?'" In less than a century, we’ve come far enough to forget how we have farmed for centuries. And how new the introduction of industrial pesticides and herbicides is for farming, and how little we truly know about the massive effect it’s had on our health, on our environment and on our food supply. In this talk from an archival Eco-Ag Conference presentation, Charles spoke to this point with the help of Lee Fryer, and a few farmers in the audience. He will tell you that even today, the effort to, as he put it, “to liberate the organic farmers,” goes on. With truth on our side. That the challenge now is to return the burden of proof to the conventional agriculture systems, to those who want to coat our foods with poison, to prove that it is as safe as organic farming, and not the other way around.

In our inaugural episode, we interview Abbey Smith with the Savory Institute about her travels, sustainable grazing methods, and how she manages her own ranch in Northern California. Then, we finish with an archived speech from Charles Walters, the founder of Acres U.S.A., who challenged his audience about the differences between eco-agriculture and conventional agriculture.

In this episode of the Go Ye International podcast, I take the listeners into a new realm, a new world of discovery pertaining to the methods and proven success of one of the rarest treasures the State of Texas has inside its borders.  The following interview is with Gene Sollock of the Sollock Farm in Iola, Texas--east of College Station.  This step by step instructional audio and video program will encourage and better equip those farmers and ranchers to better succeed in sustainable beef production. Swapping the current practices for the grass-fed system by lowering over head increases profit margins while lowering risk related to beef production.  This 2.5 hour interview contains detailed information for those interested in starting an intensive, rotational paddock, grass-fed'grass-finished cattle operation in a manner that can put the profit back into production while the rising cost of conventional feed lots, bales of hay, and wasted acreage that predominate the cattle industry today cause farmers and ranchers to go broke and risk losing their operation.  The Gene Sollock Paddock System is the way to go for those starting up, those looking to improve or THOSE ABOUT TO GIVE UP. Intensified Management Grazing (IMG), or eco-farming, is the best way to accomplish a sustainable and profitable operation. For those serious about starting or converting their operation, during May 2008- July 2009, the infrastructure will be finished, the forage will be established waiting for the installment of 20 head of cattle by August 2009 with a decent profit to follow 12-18 months latter ($10K-$16K).  Within five years of continued forage development, the potential sales on the same 20 acres with just 20 head of cattle per year have a potential profit margin of *$20K-$30K per year depending on the marketing strategy.  With natural variables considered and the forage going well, the amount of cattle in this 20 template can be increase to 40 head--even 50 head under optimal conditions--bringing in a potential *$40K- per 18 months.  Having an initial $25K-$30K investment on leased land or within your existing acreage using these figures and direct sale marketing over the course of 10 years there will be a substantial stream of cash flow to retire on and/or expand the operation.  THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. *These figures have been achieved on paddock pastures established over a few years of forage development and reliability by using direct marketing business plans.  Gourmet restaurants and direct sale ‘foodies’ are increasing the demand for local, grass-fed beef. This is not a quick fix.  This is not a get rich system.  It takes time and initial inputs to establish the conditions for successful and sustainable year-round forage.  This is an investment for near and far future returns. Using this amazing answer for the natural, sustainable, and profitable way to feed more cattle with less overhead on less land than currently thought to be possible while making more profit than ever imagined from the same 20 acres, once the forage is flourishing year round (with all things considered).  The potential of this 20/20 plan will start you thinking outside the box and launch you into a better way to preserve the family farm (or start one).  Sustainable agriculture is economically sound and environmentally sensible producing equity in a society where it is implemented.  Sensible and secure food is superior.
