Podcasts about Drought

A Service of Praise and Prayer in a Time of Drought We thank Mark Frost for leading us in this Lay Reading service this day. We pray. God our Heavenly Father, in a dry and dusty land, our soul thirsts for you. Look down with mercy upon us. Hear our prayers of concern for our land, for our people in distress, for our industries that suffer, for all who are still affected by drought. Send rain to replenish the parched land and bring life and hope to your creation. In you alone we trust, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Eight weeks after taking up her post as DEFRA Secretary of State, Emma Reynolds has faced her first barrage of questions from the cross-party group of MPs at the EFRA select committee. MPs quizzed her about farming profitability, fishing policy, water pollution, border controls and illegal meat. They asked about environmental payments too and she acknowledged that mistakes had been made and lessons learned when the Sustainable Farming Incentive was suddenly suspended earlier this year.A report by the House of Commons' Welsh Affairs Committee is calling for the Government's inheritance tax on farmers to be halted, because it says the tax will have a detrimental impact on Welsh farming.The Environment Agency's warned that unless we see some serious rain, England will be in drought next year. We find out how this year's lack of water has affected the potato harvest.Mushroom growers face many challenges: rising energy costs; sourcing the staff to pick them; and finding alternatives to peat for growing the crop. We visit a family farm in Northern Ireland that's become one of the UK's biggest producers of organic mushrooms. Truffle cultivation isn't usually associated with Scotland but milder, wetter summers are providing new opportunities, according to one professor who's developing new methods of cultivating truffles.This year's apple harvest has been a bumper one, but with a small orchard on a small landmass, the family producing cider on Guernsey have had to find a creative way to supplement their crop.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan explains the sharp drop in U.S. markets, the internal divide inside the Federal Reserve, Trump's push to revive the housing market, and new White House actions on immigration, energy, and manufacturing. He also brings global updates from Iran, Syria, Germany, and Ukraine. Markets Slide After Record High: The Dow fell sharply after reaching a new peak earlier in the week. Bryan notes that overvalued stocks, high levels of margin debt, and concerns about an AI bubble are creating real fear on Wall Street. He warns that the pullback signals deeper economic stress that has been building for months. Federal Reserve Split on Rate Cuts: Fed leaders cannot agree on whether to lower interest rates again. Some point to weakening jobs data, falling retail spending, and rising household debt. Others claim the economy is stable. Bryan counters that missed car payments, climbing credit card balances, and new foreclosures show that ordinary Americans are under serious strain. White House Floats Portable Mortgages: The administration is considering a plan that would let homeowners transfer their low mortgage rates to a new house. Bryan explains that the idea could unlock the frozen housing market. He also highlights JD Vance's argument that deportation of millions of illegal immigrants could free up homes, which mirrors Canada's recent experience. Immigration Crackdown Widens: Trump revived the public charge rule and added new medical screenings to keep out foreigners who are likely to require long-term care. The State Department says the change protects taxpayers and ensures economically stable immigration. Democrats call the policy discriminatory. Trump says it is simply common sense. Energy and Manufacturing Developments: New York approved a natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania after pressure from Washington. Supporters say it will lower electricity costs. Environmental activists are furious. Meanwhile, Toyota announced a fourteen billion dollar hybrid battery plant in North Carolina. Bryan calls it proof that the administration's trade strategy is reshaping global manufacturing. Iran's Water Crisis: Iran's leaders warned the capital city of Tehran could run out of water within weeks. Officials asked citizens to ration water and pray. Bryan argues the crisis reflects decades of corruption and mismanagement inside the regime. Trump Meets Syria's New President: Syria's leader asked the United States for help rebuilding his military. The meeting became awkward when Trump jokingly sprayed him with Trump for Men cologne. Video of JD Vance trying not to laugh has already gone viral. Europe Confronts Migration Fallout: Germany confirmed a polio case traced to an Afghan migrant. The city of Magdeburg canceled its Christmas market because of terror concerns. Bryan says Europe's leaders are refusing to face reality about the risks created by uncontrolled migration. Ukraine Corruption Scandal: Ukrainian officials close to President Zelensky were arrested for stealing one hundred million dollars from the defense ministry. Bryan warns that American and European patience with Kyiv is rapidly fading. Good News for the Weekend: A British study found that walking only fifteen minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death by more than eighty percent. Bryan encourages listeners to get outside, breathe deeply, and enjoy the gift of movement.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Dow market drop, Federal Reserve rate debate, portable mortgages housing policy, Trump immigration public charge, New York natural gas pipeline, Toyota hybrid battery plant, Iran water shortage Tehran, Trump Syria meeting cologne, Germany polio migrant case, Ukraine corruption arrests, fifteen minute walking study

We hear warnings that unless we see some serious rain, England will be in drought next year. The Environment Agency says there will be widespread impacts on farming as well as nature and describes the current situation as 'precarious'. COP 30, the annual world meeting on tackling climate change is underway in Brazil. This one is notable perhaps for the leaders who've skipped it, neither the Chinese or American presidents are attending, but plenty of farmers are.All this week we are looking at growing mushrooms. We hear from a farming family in Leicestershire producing 25 tonnes of woodland mushrooms every week. Over the winter most of the sweetcorn, radishes, spring onions and chilli peppers sold by supermarkets will come from two farms in northern Senegal. The businesses involved say it's a win-win arrangement for the local communities, and more vegetables for the UK market are likely to be grown there in future.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and talk about what their most embarrassing moment in their life is that lives rent free in their head, and how they're feeling about the Atlanta Falcons home matchup with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in the Wake Up Call! Mike, Beau, and Ali also explain why they think the Falcons are facing a must win if they want a legit shot at ending their postseason drought.

Recap of the game.

In this episode of The Stockman Grassfarmer Podcast, Texas rancher David Will shares his firsthand experience implementing Serengeti grazing—also known as High Density Zero Rotational Grazing (HDZR)—on his 65-acre ranch. After the devastating 2011 drought, David set out to find a grazing system that could thrive even under extreme stress. Inspired by Mr. Sabino Cortez Jr., he began experimenting with compost applications, irrigation, and concentrated grazing on just one acre. The results were remarkable—rapid manure decomposition, vigorous grass growth, and record weight gains, including a young bull that gained 600 pounds in 190 days on a single acre. The episode explores how this system transforms soil fertility through the natural activity of dung beetles, compost microbes, and mineral balance—proving that regenerative solutions can turn challenges into lasting resilience.

Have you ever felt like your prayers are hitting a wall, like you are in a spiritual drought and God seems silent? In this episode of The Jaime Luce Podcast, I share from 1 Kings 17 and 18 about how God uses dry seasons to deepen our faith, strengthen our roots, and prepare us for the abundance of rain that is coming. Elijah's story has always encouraged me because it reminds us that when we see nothing, it does not mean God is doing nothing. I talk about how obedience in the drought positions us for breakthrough and why the miracle often comes only after we go again. Here is what you will learn in this episode: - Why God allows spiritual droughts and how they prepare you for blessing - The importance of repairing your altar, your prayer life, before the rain comes - How the widow's obedience released a miracle in her home - How to grow deeper roots in hard times and keep your faith alive - The power of persistence when everything looks dry If you are waiting for your suddenly, your breakthrough, or your downpour, this message is for you. Do not give up. God is faithful, and your rain is coming.

Scientists are learning about the current drought in the Southwest by studying climate change in the past. University of Arizona researcher Ellie Broadman discusses drought evidence found in tree rings that show what happened in the jet stream before man-made global warming took place. Ellie Broadman spoke with Tim Swindle, professor emeritus in Planetary Science at the University of Arizona.

The Iranian government says water supplies in the capital Tehran will suffer periodic cuts, as the country struggles to cope with its worst drought in decades. The announcement came two days after President Masoud Pezeshkian suggested Tehran might have to be evacuated, if shortages continue. His comments have prompted widespread criticism in Iranian newspapers and on social media, with the president accused of scaremongering and conducting "a narrative of despair." We speak to a resident in the capital and a former Environment Department official. Also in the programme: Curtis Sliwa who came 3rd in this week's election for New York mayor tells us he was offered bribes to pull out of the race; and the woman who took up golf in her 50's and hit three holes in one in a month.(Photo: Iranians picnic inside an almost dry river, which was once full, in the Fasham area, north of Tehran, Iran, 25 August 2025.

With the COP30 climate summit under way in Brazil, we take you to the United Arab Emirates, one of the most arid countries in the world. There, the government has implemented a cloud-seeding programme to increase rainfall. While the UAE mainly uses seawater desalination to obtain water, it has also employed this cutting-edge technology as drought continues to worsen in the Middle East. It's therefore a necessity, but also a soft power tool for the Gulf monarchy, which plans to become a global leader in access to "blue gold" and will host the next UN Water Conference in 2026. FRANCE 24's Amélie Zaccour and Sophie Guignon report, with Josh Vardey.

 Dr. Francisco Javier Bonilla is a historian of Latin America specializing in environmental history, infrastructure, and urban development. His research focuses on Panama and the wider Caribbean, examining how water, cities, and U.S. empire have shaped everyday life across the region. He received his PhD in History from Carnegie Mellon University and is currently turning his dissertation, Downstream from the Locks: The Technopolitics of Water in Panama's Urban Borderlands, into a book.    If the US wanted to seize the Panama Canal, it would be illegal due to its status of neutrality.  Much like the USA, Panama has a burgeoning inequality that breaks along racial and social lines.   Wealthy elites and corporations are purchasing media outlets.    Due to pressure of the US and Corporate Media a vigorous discussion seldom occurs re: the future of the Canal and extra-judicial bombings off the coast of Venezuela, with little or no proof of guilt.  

What if your season of spiritual dryness isn't a sign of God's absence, but His deeper work within you? How wilderness seasons in ministry—times of exhaustion, doubt, or silence—can become sacred spaces where God reshapes identity, renews dependence, and restores authentic calling.

First I heard from Sergio Garnier that the wild lamparillos on his 24,000-acre ranch in Durango skipped a season. Didn't shoot quiotes. Didn't go to flower. Then I heard the same about the agaves in Guerrero from Damian Meneses from El Tigre. And Damian and I were in Jalisco together and he told me that the raicilleros were saying the same thing: none or almost none of the agaves are going to seed. So … what's up?Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

La Nina has arrived and that means a winter with probably a little more precipitation and a bit cooler than average.

The San Antonio Water System is expected to request a rate increase next year, its first since 2020. What is the SAWS position on a proposed wastewater treatment facility at the Guajolote Ranch development? How expensive and complicated will the relocation of a downtown chilled water plant be to accommodate Project Marvel?

Thanks to Ndiaye and Xhaka respectively, Jacob and Jiayang both enjoyed successful Bench Boosts. Our overall solid gameweeks, however, owed little thanks to our starting midfielders, none of whom got a single return. Which leads to the question: are we in the midst of a midfielder drought? Five out of the top ten highest-scoring midfielders are either box-to-box or defensive midfielders, with Rice looking especially enticing due to Arsenal's ever-potent set-piece threat. Jacob is also forced to confront some first-world problems: firstly, still having a Free Hit chip without an obvious gameweek to play it in, and secondly, having no idea what to do with any of his four transfers. Speaking of which—more than a year after managers were allowed to have five free transfers in the bank instead of two, Jiayang wistfully reminisces about the days when using three transfers in one go—two free transfers and a hit—felt like a joyous mini-Wildcard.Follow us on Twitter: @FplFortress

Nearly $70,00 worth of oysters destroyed as a blockade halts relocation in SA waters, funding to help primary producers manage kangaroos numbers during drought, and a survey finds 7% of reported bees losses in SA last year were due to starvation.

The government's Drought Group has warned of ongoing problems in the year ahead unless reservoirs and rivers get enough rain in the next few months. The hot dry summer has pushed many farmers to re-evaluate how they use water. We speak to an expert who works with farmers and landowners to plan and manage water use. This week on Farming Today we've been looking at invasive species - from the Asian hornet which is killing our native honey bees, to Himalayan Balsam which spreads quickly and can choke waterways. We hear from people and groups trying innovative ways to control or eradicate non-native invasive flora and fauna. And the environment agency and police are criticised in a new report from the House of Lords Climate Change Committee. It says 38 million tonnes of illegal waste is dumped each year, yet few successful convictions are achieved. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner.

Pumpkin growers have had a nightmare year. The crop needs plenty of water and the hot summer made them ripen too early for Halloween. Cost of living pressures have also affected some farms running visitor attractions like Pumpkin patches.Drought could continue into 2026 for some parts of England. The National Drought Group met yesterday and warned that England would need 100% of its average rainfall to ease the situation, but only 2 months so far this year had seen that much rain.After 2 legal challenges the Government has published a new version of its Carbon Budget, which lays out how climate targets will be met towards the eventual goal of net zero in 2050.

In this week's episode of The Law Firm Blueprint, Jay Ruane and Seth Price dive deep into the current legal hiring crisis. Seth explains why the coveted 3rd-to-8th year attorneys are nearly impossible to hire due to loan forgiveness programs and shifting economic incentives. The solution? Creating structured summer programs to build an in-house talent pipeline, a model scaled by big family law firms. The hosts stress that client response time is "everything," and having a "hungry" DNA is an unteachable trait that determines who succeeds. They debate how to structure compensation for lawyers who fail at sales but are great in court.#LegalRecruitment #LoanForgiveness #ClientResponseTime

Dan and Shawn react to Tuesday night's Frozen Frenzy, including Dan's behind-the-scenes experience observing ESPN's production of the event. The guys follow with reaction to Alex Ovechkin's slow start to the season as he remains stuck on 899 career goals and Pittsburgh's hot start to the season, and whether or not the Penguins can sustain their early success while led by aging stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The duo then debates the sustainability of Connor Hellebuyck's workload in Winnipeg and whether the Maple Leafs can resurrect early struggles or if Toronto's playoff chances are in doubt.

There's trouble for soybean farmers in Illinois and beyond. Drought conditions have made for a faster-than-average harvest, but a big problem remains the ongoing trade war and the lack of places for farmers to sell their beans. We'll talk about that, how what's happening in China and Argentina affects farmers in Illinois, and other headwinds for American agriculture.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back in a digital room together to break down USC's disappointing showing in a 34-23 loss to No. 13 Notre Dame in South Bend, extending the losing streak since 2011.  Spratling spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' on him failing to see the Trojans win in South Bend and resigns to the fact that he may never get to see it. Trevino goes in another direction to discuss running into a Pop-Tarts Bowl rep on the sideline and making a fool out of himself.  The Helium Boys dive into Stock Up, Stock Down, including Lincoln Riley's playcalling, the offensive line, the officials, kicker Ryon Sayeri, freshman wideout Tanook Hines and the mysterious "Ja'Kobi Dean." They also get a big update on the Stock Neutral debate.  In the second half of the show, they take on some listener questions about offensive tackle Elijah Paige, the way Notre Dame defended Makai Lemon and USC's defensive game plan against the Fighting Irish.  Shotgun spends the Overtime period giving his Trick or Treat thoughts while the hosts also listen to the scariest movies listeners saw as kids.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the podcast medium to break down USC's massive win over then No. 15 Michigan at home in the Coliseum, giving Lincoln Riley his first signature win in the Big Ten era.  Shotgun spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' talking about the impressive performance by USC's offensive line, which continues to play well even without two season opening starters. Chris uses his time to talk about the electric atmosphere in the Coliseum and praise Trojan fans for their impact on the game. They then dive into Stock Up, Stock Down, which include the defensive front, Lincoln Riley, kicker Ryon Sayeri and more. The duo also discusses injuries to the running back room and the play of walk-on running back King Miller, who finished with 158 yards and a touchdown, and the dramatic second-half appearance from Bryan Jackson.  USC's top running backs Waymond Jordan Jr. and Eli Sanders were both carted off the field in the first half with injuries, leaving USC with zero healthy scholarship tailbacks. Sanders will miss the rest of the season while Jordan Jr. will be out four-to-six weeks with ankle surgery.  The Helium Boys dive into the second half of the show to preview USC's big road rivalry matchup with No. 13 Notre Dame. This could be the final game in the rivalry for the near future as the two teams do not have a deal to play in place beyond 2025. USC sent an amended offer late this summer toward a multi-year extension, which is more in line what the Fighting Irish wanted, but there has been no acceptance.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
