It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they head to the skies, using the latest technology to control noxious weeds.  Plus reactions to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill”, news updates, markets 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. Top Reasons To Use Drones For Spraying Pastures & Weeds  Agri Drones can seed and spray chemicals when fields are not ready for equipment and it is more precise than other aerial seeding options. Plus a drone can avoid obstacles and pinpoint certain areas.  You can find out more about who we used to control our noxious weeds by clicking Pro Ag Solutions. 1. Precision Application Targeted spraying of individual weed patches instead of blanket applications Reduces herbicide waste and chemical drift GPS-guided flight paths ensure consistent coverage and record-keeping 2. Access Hard-to-Reach Areas Drones can easily reach: Steep terrain Wet ground or boggy spots Brushy fence lines and ravines Eliminates the need to risk equipment damage or operator safety in difficult terrain 3. Reduced Soil Compaction No heavy tractor tires driving over sensitive ground Helps preserve soil structure and forage health 4. Time & Labor Savings Faster setup and application time compared to manual or vehicle-based sprayers Reduces labor requirements — one operator can manage several acres per hour Perfect for small patches or spot treatments that aren't worth dragging out a boom sprayer 5. Ideal for Sensitive Areas Less impact on: Native grasses Wildlife habitat Waterways (when used with precision nozzles and appropriate buffers) 6. Data Collection & Monitoring Many drones are equipped to map weed infestations before spraying Enables before-and-after analysis, recordkeeping, and adaptive management 7. Cost-Effective for Small & Mid-Sized Pastures Great return on investment for: Pastures under 200 acres Rotational grazing systems Landowners or ranchers who want more control over timing and application Cattle News Cattlemen's Groups React to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill” The U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) commented on the successful passage of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill", which includes several provisions critical to the U.S. livestock industry and wins for America's family farmers and ranchers. A few of the highlights include: Livestock Indemnity Program  Establishes a payment rate for losses due to predation at 100% of the market value and losses due to adverse weather or disease at 75% of the market value.  Introduces additional payments for unborn livestock death losses incurred on or after January 1, 2024, at a rate determined by the Secretary, not exceeding 85% of the payment rate for the lowest weight class of livestock.  Livestock Forage Disaster Program  Allows for two monthly payments and specifying eligibility criteria based on grazing periods and expands the program by allowing it to kick in after 4 consecutive weeks of drought, rather than the previous 8 consecutive weeks Emergency Assistance  Provides emergency assistance for cattle with specific payment rates and eligibility criteria.  Death Tax  The bill increases the Death Tax exemption to $15 million per individual or $30 million per couple, adjusted annually for inflation. This means if the value of your farm or ranch plus equipment, cattle, and other assets are less than $15 million individually or $30 million as a couple Foreign Animal Disease Prevention  Specifies funding allocations for foreign animal disease prevention programs.  REFERENCES:  https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/usca-comments-on-legislative-passage-of-the-one-big-beautiful-bill https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/national-cattlemen-s-beef-association-comments-on-the-one-big-beautiful-bill https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/congress-passes-megabill-with-significant-farm-program-funding U.S Beef & Pork Exports To China Drop Sharply As Tariffs Climb Skyrocketing Tariffs Crush U.S. Meat Trade with China U.S. beef and pork exports to China plunged in late April and early May, driven by steep tariffs reaching 147% on beef and 172% on pork, according to the USDA Economic Research Service. A temporary 90-day tariff cut — down to 32% for beef and 57% for pork — failed to revive U.S. meat shipments to levels seen in May 2024. Trade Challenges Mount Ahead of August Deadline Compounding the issue, China declined to renew registrations for multiple U.S. beef plants and cold storage facilities in February, further restricting exports, says the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). “The need for progress in trade talks is urgent,” said USMEF President Dan Halstrom, warning that tariffs could spike again on August 12. Exporters are already reconsidering their plans for the Chinese market.

Financial institutions are moving beyond pilot projects to implement production-grade, explainable and cost-effective AI solutions that can meet operational and regulatory demands. AI has evolved rapidly since fintech Arteria AI was founded in 2020, Amir Hajian, chief science officer, tells Bank Automation News in this episode of “The Buzz” podcast. The company provides banks with AI-powered digital documentation services. “2020 was a very simple year where AI was classification and extraction, and now we have all the glory of AI systems that can do things for you and with you,” Hajian says.  “We realized one day in 2021 that using language alone is not enough to solve [today's] problems.” The company began using multimodal models that can not only read but search for visual cues in documents. AI budgets and strategies vary widely among FIs, Hajian says. Therefore, Arteria's approach involves reengineering large AI models to be smaller and more cost-effective, able to run in any environment without requiring massive computer resources. This allows smaller institutions to access advanced AI without extensive infrastructure. Hajian, who joined Arteria AI in 2020, is also head of the fintech's research arm, Arteria Cafe. One of Arteria Cafe's first developments since its creation in January is GraphiT — a tool for encoding graphs into text and optimizing large language model prompts for graph prediction tasks.  GraphiT enables graph-based analysis with minimal training data, ideal for compliance and financial services where data is limited and regulations shift quickly. The GraphiT solution operates at roughly one-tenth the cost of previously known methods, Hajian says. Key uses include: Regulatory compliance; Anti-money laundering; Predictive modeling; and Low-data problem solving. Arteria plans to roll out GraphiT at the ACM Web Conference 2025 in Sydney this month.

Send us a textArtificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, and biotechnology is no exception. In bioprocess development, AI is proving to be a game-changer, accelerating workflows, optimizing processes, and driving innovation. On the Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, Reza Farahani, founder and CEO of Catalyze AI, shares his insights on how AI is reshaping biomanufacturing and the future of the industry.As AI continues to integrate into bioprocessing, the role of scientists is evolving. Farahani envisions a future where scientists collaborate with AI to enhance efficiency. One of Catalyze AI's exciting innovations is an agentic root cause analysis tool, designed to automate troubleshooting. Instead of spending hours on manual analysis, scientists will receive AI-generated reports outlining probable causes of failures—allowing them to focus on high-level decision-making.What you'll learn in this episode:Exciting Advances in AI: Farahani highlights the potential of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—AI that can generate ideas through analogy, much like humans do. Imagine an AI system recognizing a successful method in the petroleum industry and applying those principles to biomanufacturing. This kind of cross-disciplinary innovation could unlock groundbreaking efficiencies.Leadership Principles in AI-Driven Biotech Startups: Farahani takes an unconventional approach to leadership. Unlike corporate environments where avoiding mistakes is crucial, he encourages his team to embrace failure early on. "I want to see you make a mistake in the first month," he tells new hires. By removing the fear of failure, his team can experiment, think creatively, and drive true innovation—an essential mindset for biotech startups breaking new ground.Advice for Aspiring Biotech Entrepreneurs: Farahani's advice is simple: find a problem, develop a unique solution, and take action. He urges scientists to identify small inefficiencies that can be scaled and optimized. Equally important is being open to failure and iterating quickly to refine solutions. Success comes from starting, adapting, and continuously improving.As we stand on the brink of a biomanufacturing revolution, the real opportunity lies in combining AI with biologics. While AI often dominates the conversation, Farahani emphasizes that biologics remain underhyped.

In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Angelo interviews Mark Zacharias, the Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. The discussion centers around a rebuttal to an article published by the Fraser Institute, which claimed that renewable energy is going to be significantly more expensive than anticipated. Mark Zacharias addresses three main arguments presented in the Fraser Institute article: Renewable Energy Costs: The article suggests that renewable energy drives up costs and is intermittent, making electricity grids less reliable. Mark counters this by highlighting examples from jurisdictions like South Australia and Iowa, where the transition to renewable energy has led to lower electricity costs. He notes that in Alberta, recent renewable energy procurements have resulted in power bids as low as $0.05 per kilowatt hour, significantly cheaper than the retail electricity rates. Impact of Climate Policies on the Grid: The article argues that climate policies, such as EV sales mandates and natural gas bans, will overwhelm the electricity grid. Mark refutes this by explaining that EVs have a minimal impact on grid demand and can even contribute to grid stability through vehicle-to-grid technologies. He also emphasizes the efficiency of heat pumps compared to traditional heating methods, which can lead to overall energy savings. Electricity Imports and Structural Deficits: The article claims that Canada's reliance on electricity imports indicates a structural deficit. Mark clarifies that while British Columbia has imported power during droughts, this practice allows for strategic management of resources and has resulted in significant profits from power trading. He argues that imports can be beneficial and do not signify a failure of the grid. Throughout the conversation, Mark emphasizes the importance of updated information and the need to move beyond outdated narratives about renewable energy. He advocates for a future where clean energy is not only viable but also economically advantageous, countering the misconceptions perpetuated by the Fraser Institute's article.
