Times are good for the U.S. dairy industry as producers enjoy strong momentum created by demand for crossbred dairy calves to fill up beef feed yards, a growing appetite for dairy and dairy protein products and unprecedented expansion in processing capacity. There's also an expansion of dairy trade shows with the inaugural American Dairy XPO... Read More

Markets are shifting as the holidays approach — beef heats up with middle meats climbing, chicken stays steady, and pork holds its value. Grains stay quiet, and dairy continues to slide with butter finally leveling off. The big question: is this the start of the holiday run-up, or just the calm before real volatility hits?BEEF: Middle meats are stealing the show as ribeyes, tenderloins, and strips push higher into the holidays. With grinds leading the pack and demand building, this market's heating up fast — the only question is how high it'll climb before December cools it down.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady and well supplied, prices barely moving either way. But with another wave of avian flu reports and migration season still underway, how long can this calm market last?GRAINS: Corn, soy, and wheat all dipped slightly after last week's optimism faded. Good news for feeders — not so much for farmers — but could holiday demand finally stir this sleepy grain market?PORK: Bellies are steady around $140, keeping bacon lovers happy and buyers relaxed. Pork remains one of the best protein values out there — but how long will this balanced market hold?DAIRY: Butter finally stopped sliding, but cheese keeps melting down with barrels and blocks still dropping. With prices this low, could we be setting up for a holiday dairy rebound?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Kohl says grocery prices may not necessarily reflect the stress that the industry experienced late in 2025 since birds are used as a magnet to draw people into the grocery store.Stu Muck says there will be a warm-up coming later this week. It'll be small, but it's something!The president of one of the largest farm organization's speaking out on behalf of the nation's dairy producers. Zippy Duvall, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, says passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids act would be a real shot in the arm for the dairy industry and kids' nutrition. Duvall says the act would overturn restrictions that USDA has in place allowing only fat-free and 1% lowfat milk in schools.

This episode features speakers from the 2025 ADSA Applied Nutrition Symposium, “Milk Pricing Dynamics and Strategies for Enhancing Milk Fat Production.” Dr. Lock gave the highlights of his presentation on dietary opportunities for promoting milk fat.  (2:18)Dr. St. Pierre's presentation focused on the change we've had in the way milk and its components are priced. (5:25)Dr. Van Amburgh's symposium talk covered amino acid supplementation to high producing cows eliciting more of a milk fat response than a milk protein response. (9:31)Dr. Van Amburgh and Dr. Lock talk about where butyrate fits into milk fat synthesis. Dr. Van Amburgh shares some of his experiences with grass-based dairy diets in Ireland and how those might influence milk fat production. The group discusses de novo and preformed fat synthesis and how diets may or may not influence those two mechanisms. (12:16)The guests talk about an abstract from Dr. Van Amburgh's lab at the ADSA meetings about supplemental lysine levels. This leads into a discussion of lactose production and fluid milk volume, as well as feedback from cheese processors and the impact of supplemental chromium on milk production parameters. (22:31)Dr. St. Pierre talks about cheese processor concerns with increased milk fat concentrations, milk pricing structures, and milk perishability. (28:27)The panel discusses metabolizable protein, essential, non-essential, and branched-chain amino acids, and how the view of fatty acids and amino acids has changed from simple substrates to make milk components to compounds with biogenic activities. (36:20)Dr. St. Pierre talks about the inaugural Industry Day at the 2025 ADSA meetings and goals for similar future events. (43:01)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

In this special live-recorded episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast from the World Dairy Expo, sponsored by DeLaval, the discussion revolves around the revolutionary concept of using a VMS (Voluntary Milking System) without feed incentives. Dairy farmers Matt Strickland from Double Creek Dairy in California and Jay Heeg from Heeg Brothers Dairy in Wisconsin, along with their advisors Kelli Hutchings and Jodi Erickson, share their experiences and insights. The episode explores the motivation behind moving away from feeding pellets, the transition process, and the impact on labor, performance, productivity, herd health, and profitability. Key topics include the setup of VMS systems, the importance of feed management, and the novel no-feed system, with Kelly Hutchings explaining how a concept inspired by her ranching experience in Wyoming was adapted to robotic milking. The conversation provides a comprehensive look at the practical steps and benefits of implementing a no-feed VMS system in dairy farming.This episode is brought to you by DeLaval.

Brad recaps his trip to dairy farms in the Netherlands and Germany, where robotics, crossbreeding, and creative manure and energy management are everywhere — even on small farms. He visited farms using Lely robots, grass/rye silage-based diets, and small-scale digesters that capture manure methane. Crossbreeding (Holstein × Montbéliarde × Viking Red) is common, driven by goals of longevity, health, and reducing inbreeding.He also saw some surprising management choices: dry cows fed only straw for 60 days (reportedly reducing metabolic issues) and one advisor recommending farmers don't clean calf pens to preserve the microbiome — a concept Brad remains skeptical about.At a dairy technology show and breeding conference, Brad shared research on feed efficiency and methane emissions and learned how European breeders are incorporating resilience and efficiency traits into genetic programs. Overall, Europe's dairy farms showed strong use of technology, a focus on components and longevity, and serious interest in crossbreeding as a labor- and health-saving strategy.Hybrid Genetics YouTube Channel to learn more about some of these FarmsQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Illinois Farm Bureau Actively Engaged Student of the Month for November, Samantha O'Neill from Athens High School in Menard County.Illinois Farm Bureau Director of Commodity Programs and Food Systems Tasha Bunting provides monthly update. Pioneer agronomy segment with John Kultgen.  Joe Camp with Commstock Investments previews a new market week.  

Proveye, an Irish agri and climate tech company headquartered at NovaUCD in Dublin, today announced that it has been awarded a European Space Agency (ESA) contract to complete the development and deployment of ProvVari. ProvVari is a breakthrough precision fertiliser solution designed to increase productivity and reduce costs for farmers and significantly cut the environmental footprint of grassland farming across Europe. For decades, artificial fertilisers have been central to European food production, but their widespread use has also contributed to nutrient loss, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. The mission of Proveye, which is pioneering AI-driven remote sensing for grassland management, is to change that. With ESA's backing through the ESA Spark Funding initiative, ProvVari will harness space technology to guide the precise application of fertilisers, reducing waste and environmental impact while maintaining productivity and profitability for farmers. Built on Proveye's ProvGrass platform, ProvVari will combine satellite imagery from ESA's Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral missions with high-resolution l imagery drone, GNSS guidance, and soil and meteorological data. The technology will generate variable rate application maps that optimise fertiliser use, safeguard water quality, and support national and European climate and biodiversity goals. "ProvVari has already drawn strong engagement from agri-advisors, machinery manufacturers, and seed and fertiliser companies, as well as a growing community of progressive Irish farmers. Together, these stakeholders reflect the urgent need for tools that help agriculture deliver food security while protecting natural ecosystems," said Jerome O'Connell, CEO, Proveye. He added, "At Proveye, we see little trade-off between farming and nature; our technologies are designed to enable both to thrive, and this ESA contract is a major step forward in our mission to align agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship, biodiversity protection, food security and climate resilience." Peter Finnegan, Manager of ESA Space Solutions Centre Ireland, which administers the ESA Spark Funding mechanism, welcomed Proveye's most recent ESA contract award and said, "The development of the ProvVari platform is an exciting new solution that will yield benefits for farmers and the environment alike, and is a timely intervention when positioned against the challenges of both increasing productivity and reducing negative environmental impact simultaneously." ProvVari will be launched first in Ireland in Q1 2026 before expanding to international markets. Alongside supporting farmers, ProvVari will also provide regulators and policymakers with a powerful mechanism to manage fertiliser use sustainably, contributing to healthier soils, cleaner waters, and more resilient landscapes across Europe.

As the holidays close in, markets are showing their seasonal split — beef buyers are getting bold while poultry prices cool and dairy keeps sliding. With soy stirring and pork settling, everyone's stocking up for the end-of-year rush… but which way will prices break when the wrapping paper comes off?BEEF: Holiday buying is kicking in and prices are heading higher across the board, with ribeyes, tenderloins, and even strips taking off. Demand is rising, supply isn't budging, and this market looks set to climb straight into December — the only question is how fast.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady with strong production and flat pricing — barely a penny either way. But with fresh avian flu cases popping up again, will this calm market hold through the holidays?GRAINS: Soy finally woke up on export news, with wheat following higher, while corn slipped a touch. If global buying picks up, could this be the start of that grain momentum we've been waiting for?PORK: Bellies pulled back to $140 after last week's spike, making now a great time for bacon buyers. Pork remains one of the best values in protein — but will seasonal demand tighten things up heading into winter?DAIRY: Last week's bump vanished fast — cheese and butter dropped again, turning dairy into a surprising value play. The question now is whether holiday demand can stop this slide or if prices keep melting.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

It’s a campaign celebrating everything that makes Wisconsin dairy farmers one of a kind — our pride, our work ethic, and our quirks. It’s funny, it’s real, and it reminds people that being “Born to Dairy” isn’t just a job — it’s a way of life. One of the stars of Wisconsin Originals – Born to Dairy, Andrew Christenson — or as folks know you online, The FarmTok Hotshot. This hilarious new campaign from Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin that’s already racked up over 1.5 million views. Aside from Christenson, the campaign also involves Wisconsin's own, Charlie Berens, bringing that signature Midwest humor. Berens helps highlight real Wisconsin farmers and industry folks — not actors or model— showing what makes this state’s dairy community legendary.Christenson says he's proud to be part of the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board, but he's even more proud of this latest effort to bring non-farm consumers into his world. Christenson persona is kind of the modern farmer — juggling tech, tradition, and a sense of humor. It’s a reminder that dairy looks different these days, but the heart’s the same. We’re still getting up before sunrise, still proud of our cows, but now we’re sharing it with the world. Every persona — whether it’s the Dairyland Darling, the Farm MacGuyver, or the MOOMaw — celebrates a different side of farm life. Together, it shows that no two farmers are the same, but we’re all Born to Dairy. Christenson they're looking for suggestion on the next set of "persona" - so if you have ideas, please share! Go to Born To Dairy - enjoy, share and suggest our next storytellers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Jeff Mroz, former NFL player and founder of Pioneer Pastures, to unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in modern nutrition - milk. Jeff shares how his experience as a professional athlete led him to discover the truth about dairy, gut health, and why so many people who think they're “lactose intolerant” actually aren't. Together, they explore the science behind A2 protein, how industrial farming changed the structure of milk, and why returning to ancestral dairy may be one of the most powerful steps for healing. They also dive into the war on saturated fat, the myths around plant milks, and how regenerative farming can support both human and planetary health.

In this episode, we feature some of the winners of poster and oral presentation competitions at the 2025 ADSA Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Abstracts can be found here: ADSA 2025 Annual MeetingMS Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Trinidad Fernandez-Wallace and Dr. Lautaro Rostoll-Cangiano, University of Wisconsin-MadisonCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1218: Immunity at the crossroads of cellular metabolism: Navigating T helper shifts in the periparturient period of dairy cows. (0:08)Trinidad found that T-helper cell metabolism and proliferation were both upregulated after calving, which may impact the effectiveness of immune responses during the transition period. The group discusses if T-helper cells could be used as a marker of inflammation in the future and how Trinidad's results may have been different if samples had been collected between 3 and 28 days after calving.PhD Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Natnicha Taechachokevivat and Dr. Rafael Neves, Purdue UniversityCo-host: Dr. Sion Richards, Balchem Abstract 1107: Relationships between systemic inflammation, subclinical hypocalcemia, and hyperketonemia in clinically healthy Holstein cows. (8:07)Natnicha investigated the association of plasma haptoglobin (an inflammatory marker) on days 1 and 3 in milk with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia. Systemic inflammation appears to be associated with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia and reduced milk yield in multiparous cows. When multiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced less milk; however, when primiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced more milk. 3 Minute ThesisGuests: Savitha Saikumar and Dr. Diwaker Vyas, University of FloridaCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1548: Effects of peripartal supplementation of prototype postbiotics on intake, rumen fermentation, colostrum quality, and performance in transition dairy cows. (15:14)Savitha investigated the effects of a prototype postbiotic supplement in transition cows from 35 days before calving to 63 days after calving. Cows on the postbiotic treatment received 25 grams per day topdressed on their TMR. Before calving, the postbiotic had no effect on dry matter intake, body condition sore, body weight, or total VFAs. After calving, the postbiotic increased dry matter intake and milk yield after 6 weeks, and increased energy-corrected milk and fat-corrected milk with no effect on body weight, body condition score, or rumen fermentation profile.PhD Poster Guest: Amanda Fischer-Tlustos, University of Guelph Abstract 2012: Characterization of dry-period mammary acetate and glucose metabolism and their association with colostrum production in multiparous Holstein cattle. (25:15)Amanda's research evaluated acetate and glucose metabolism in the mammary gland during the dry and calving periods to better understand how colostrum is made. Acetate uptake by the udder remained fairly constant until one week before calving, when it started to increase. Glucose uptake did not increase until the onset of calving. Previous lactation milk production and far-off mammary metabolism were both negatively correlated with colostrum production. Amanda hypothesizes that high producing cows who have trouble drying off may have high amounts of metabolic activity in the mammary gland when they should have low activity, which may result in lower colostrum production at the subsequent calving. PhD Oral Presentation, Southern Branch DivisionGuests: Bridger Sparks and Dr. Clarissa Strieder-Barboza, Texas Tech UniversityCo-host: Dr. Ryan Pralle, BalchemAbstract 1215: Adipose tissue neuro-like cell profile changes with ketosis in dairy cows. (33:05)Bridger investigated neuro-like cells in the adipose tissue of cows with or without subclinical ketosis. The transcriptional profile of neuro-like cells changed when collected from cows with subclinical ketosis, which may indicate a potential regulatory role in adipose tissue metabolism. Perhaps modulation of neuro-like cells could potentially alleviate excessive adipose mobilization in the postpartum period. ADSA Graduate Student Division HighlightsGuests: Evelyn Yufeng Lin, North Carolina State University; Miranda Farricker, Cornell University; Conor McCabe, University of California-Davis; Dr. Maurice Eastridge, Ohio State University.

Milk has long been sold as the key to strong bones, but research challenges that claim: many people don't tolerate dairy, calcium needs are lower than advertised, and higher milk intake doesn't necessarily prevent fractures. Politics and industry marketing helped set “three glasses a day,” even though healthy bones depend more on overall diet and lifestyle—things like vitamin D, movement, and avoiding soda, excess sugar, and stress that drive calcium loss. Dairy may be helpful for some diets, but it can also trigger bloating, acne, congestion, or digestive issues. The good news is that strong bones and good nutrition are still very doable without cow's milk—think leafy greens, sardines, almonds, chia, and sunshine for vitamin D. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why bone health depends more on diet, lifestyle, and nutrient balance than on dairy. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He co-directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center and founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, one of the nation's largest clinics for children with obesity. For over 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied how diet composition affects metabolism, body weight, and chronic disease risk, focusing on low glycemic index, low-carbohydrate, and ketogenic diets. Called an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, he has championed policy changes to improve the food environment. A Principal Investigator on numerous NIH and philanthropic grants, Dr. Ludwig has published over 200 scientific articles and three books for the public, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Always, Hungry? Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.
