This episode took a hard, surprising bend around the corner, careening headlong into one of the most interesting habitat concepts we've ever covered. Most farmers chase yield. Dr. mark McConnell helps them chase increased profits--while improving habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. We dive deep into how landowners are using the Farm Bill, precision agricultural technology, and hard data to turn marginal acreage into waterfowl habitat without losing a cent. Whether you hunt, farm--or both--is loaded with information for finding dollars and sense in balancing habitat conservation in agricultural landscapes.    Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Farmers in Connecticut and beyond are being impacted by federal funding cuts. In May, the USDA made cuts to programs that help fund farms and food banks. More recently, the USDA recently cut DEI programming. This included programs on urban forestry, equitable land access and environmental justice. But we could see increased spending for other farm programs in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Today, we speak to those working in the agricultural industry around our state. Last week, Governor Ned Lamont signed the CT Farm Bill. We’ll talk about what that means for farmers.

The National Farmers Union hopes that bipartisan discussions will not be lost over the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

This week on the Hemp Show, we're continuing the conversation around the need to split the industry into two. There is much confusion in the minds of law makers and consumers when it comes to what hemp is. For years hemp advocates championed the fact that hemp doesn't get you high, but thanks to a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, somebody figured out how to get high from hemp, and so began the era of intoxicating hemp that we find ourselves in now. But if hemp is getting you high, it's not hemp — it's weed. Stop calling it hemp. And that's why there needs to be a legislative fix. Erica Stark from the National Hemp Association joins us to discuss the issue and share her ideas on what a potential fix might look like. Then we talk to Lancaster Country regenerative hemp farmer Steve Groff about the various hemp projects he's working on down at the farm, where he's got 60 acres of fiber hemp ready to harvest in about three weeks. He talks about the “green decortication” project he's working on and how he hopes to inspire people at the Global Fiber Hemp Summit in Raleigh next week. As always Groff sees potential, but he's not waiting for the next Farm Bill to act. “I'm not checked out,” he said. “I'm checked in.” Plus, news nuggets from around the hemp world: Kazakhstan is preparing to make passport paper from hemp, Arizona courts are tightening THC rules, and Morris Beegle calls again for clear bifurcation between cannabinoid and industrial markets. We close with a reminder to check out our new kids podcast, Super Smart Farm Show, launching July 22. Stick around after the credits to hear the trailer. As always, thanks for listening — and until next time, we'll see you in the newspaper.

The transition is complete. Wisconsin's new Alice in Dairyland is on the job with her first official day happening today. Jill Welke finds out what hopes and aspirations Sarah Hagenow is holding for the position as the 78th Alice. Sarah just graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in agricultural and food business management and a minor in international agriculture. Hagenow’s youth was characterized by involvement in 4-H and FFA, which spurred her to join the Gopher Dairy Club, Agricultural Business Club, Agricultural Mentor Program, and the dairy cattle judging team at college. Hagenow has held internships with Heatherstone Enterprises, Viking Dairy Company, the Minnesota State Senate, and the Animal Agriculture Alliance. The heat has broken for Wisconsin this week. Stu Muck says there is some rain on the way.The "Big Beautiful Bill" is complete and signed. Tyler Wenzlaff is the National Affairs Coordinator for the WI Farm Bureau Federation. He says there's a lot of elements in that bill that agriculture needs to notice. Raising reference prices, improvements to DMC, livestock disaster assistance, conservation dollars, and trade development is already in this package which makes Wenzlaff wonder if this is the path a new Farm Bill will take. Stephanie Hoff gets the available details. While the federal bill gains some funding for important agriculture programs, there are still groups and farms that were promised federal grants that are waiting. One group that saw their federal funding shaved severely is Glacierland Grazing. Kiley Allan finds out about the staff losses and project goals that have had to adjust from Kelsey Wallisch is the Regenerative Agriculture Specialist. She walks us through the changes they've seen and tells us how resilience has gotten them through the challenges. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wisconsin played host to the summer conference for the National Farmers Union. Held a their new state headquarters in Chippewa Falls, Bob Bosold got a chance to visit with NFU President, Rod Larew, as well as WFU President, Darren VonRuden. There's still a lot of anxiety about getting a Farm Bill completed in Washington, D.C. and questions surrounding the "Big Beautiful Bill" and what it could be to farms and agribusinesses. Illinois stands poised to break records this year when it comes to tornadoes! Pam Jahnke shares the story from Illinois State Climatologist, Trent Ford. Today is the deadline for the state legislature to wrap up work on the budget. Representative Travis Tranel, the chair of the Assembly Agriculture Committee is watching a lot of moving parts. He explains to Stephanie Hoff that state budget negotiations or debates continue to take center stage on Capitol Hill. But there are also bills moving through the agriculture committee to watch. We start with the nutrient loss reduction program, a bill that Representative Tranel is cosponsoring. The Mid-West Farm Report is continuing to gather stories from families statewide that will be honored during the Wisconsin State Fair as Century or Sesquicentennial honorees. Aubrey Schlimgen chats with Bob Smith from Fond du Lac County, one of the sesquicentennial farms that will be honored. Bob and his brother were the youngest of the 4 brothers and did most of the work on the farm. When they started their work, they cleaned up a lot of the barns on their farm and built some buildings. 100ft off of the one barn to be exact. Bob and his Wife have three kids. His other two brothers got into education and even taught at the University of Dubuque. In 1980 they had experienced loss with a barn fire. Bob still farms to this day, no more cows but still with crops. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Farm Bill. A piece of legislation that quietly shapes much of life in this country - especially for those of us in rural America.  The Farm Bill influences everything from food access to conservation, crop insurance to rural infrastructure. And yet, for how far-reaching it is, most Americans know very little about what's actually in it - or what's at stake when it comes up for renewal.  To help unpack the history, the politics, and the uncertain path ahead, Lesli Allison, our CEO here at Western Landowners Alliance, speaks with two former high-ranking staffers who served in the Senate Agriculture Committee, Jonathan Coppess, former chief counsel under former senator and chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat from Michigan, and Joel Leftwich, a former staff director under former senator and chairman Pat Roberts, a Republican from Kansas.  Find the show notes here: https://onland.link/podcast

The excitement of electing a new president is a time honored tradition like no other, and electing a new Wisconsin FFA state President is no exception especially when it has taken place for 96 years. Aubrey Schlimgen introduces us to Amalia Draxler, who has been named the New Wisconsin State FFA President for the 2025-2026 year. Amalia expresses her commitment and love to the blue jacket and shares about her background on how she got to where is today. And there are many things to celebrate including many records being broken such as record attendance of over 4,500 and a new membership number of over 27,000. Cheryl Zimmerman, the Executive director of the Wisconsin Association of FFA, gives us more insight into all of the excitement and what has been taken in this historic year and her role with it all. The rain this morning will give way to sun and heat this afternoon. Stu Muck says the real danger starts to build for the weekend. Still no conclusion on the horizon to the Farm Bill. Congress was supposed to write an updated Farm Bill in 2023, but it didn't happen. Two, one-year extensions later, and agricultural groups continue to push for the new legislation as farmers operate under a 2018 version. Steve Etka, policy director for the Midwest Dairy Coalition, talks with Stephanie Hoff about the baby steps they're taking. He says there's a lot of talk about splitting the Farm Bill up, and doing some of the work through budget reconciliation -- a fast-track legislative procedure used to pass certain budget-related bills -- a process Congress is in right now. "(It's) a big macro bill that deals with taxes, and deals with border security, and deals with energy, and they're talking about having it deal with some of the provisions of the Farm Bill as well," Etka explains. "We're kind of waiting to see what unfolds there. Our main message is that the safety net for dairy needs to be updated." He notes the farm economy has changed since 2018, including production and average herd size, requiring an updated structure to the Dairy Margin Coverage. We're hoping that, whether it's through reconciliation or a full-scale farm bill, those provisions can be included," Etka says.Markets are closed for Juneteenth, but dairy gave up enough on Wednesday. Pam Jahnke also gives an update on policy getting bipartisan support at the state house that would hopefully improve rural health care options. Sen. Patrick Testin says this legislation's been around the capitol in different forms for over a decade. Now, it's hopefully on its way to the governor's desk for approval. The Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Modernization Act was passed by both the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly. The APRN Modernization Act authorizes qualified registered nurses to practice independently and without the need for a collaborative agreement with a physician – so long as the cases do not fall outside their areas of expertise. Have you ever thought about the noise level on the average farm? It's not just about your personal tolerance, it's also about employees and even the animals! A recent study shows that common noise on a farm can have an impact on the cattle and the workers. Nesli Akdeniz is an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist of Controlled Environments in Livestock Production. She tells Ben Jarboe about a recent study where she moved around dairy farms to detect the decibel levels that occur. Akdeniz says that at 85 decibels hearing damage can start to occur. Luckily the average range is between 52 to 83 decibels on a dairy farm. Although when summer comes around the fans in barns can cause higher levels. She says wearing hearing protection and monitoring the cattles actions can help dictate what the best course of action is for reducing noise level for a stress free and safe environment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted welcomes Catherine Sands, Director of Fertile Ground, to the podcast. After years of working in development and promoting special fund-raising concerts for Natural Resources Defense Council, Catherine moved north from New York City to the Berkshires of Massachusetts to raise a family and live closer to the land. There, she became involved with schools and asked a very basic question: Why do local schools have such lousy food?These questions led Catherine to a career working with schools and communities, linking education and applied learning to food systems. She sought to emulate the edible schoolyard program that Alice Waters created in Berkeley, California. There, students were learning growing food in their schoolyards, gaining an appreciation of healthy food, and developing pathways for lifelong wellness. This inspired Catherine to work with local schools in Massachusetts, working on applied learning, food procurement, and linking local schools to local farms... all to bring healthy, pesticide-free food, and "scatch-made" meals to students. She explains that much of her work involves diligent networking and matchmaking to support food policy councils, school districts' food procurement professionals, and local farms.Determined to better understand food systems and food policy, and to undo the food inequity she found distressing, Catherine earned a graduate degree from University of Massachusetts to advance Fertile Ground and its work with schools and communities. Since then, Fertile Ground has provided food system evaluations with recommendations for school districts on how to best tap Farm Bill funds to advance healthy food. Fertile Ground develops approaches and programs and gardens. She then joined the U Mass faculty where she has inspired and guided hundreds of students on a similar mission, work that she continues... driven by passion and fulfillment in her successes. "What's in your garden this spring?" Ted asks Catherine in closing. She responds that, yes, "It's planting time. The greens are going in. Tomatoes too." And not only in her own garden: She relishes in having fostered and continuing to support hundreds of gardens at schools and within the communities that she serves. Catherine makes clear that providing healthy food at schools and in our communities is challenging, but more so, it is rewarding as it nurtures young minds and healthy souls and organically supports communities.

In this urgent and insight-packed episode of the National Land Podcast, host Mac Christian sits down with Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), to talk about everything from cattle markets and advocacy to an emerging threat few saw coming: the resurgence of the New World screwworm. Colin outlines NCBA's deep-rooted history dating back to 1898 and how it remains the largest and most influential cattle producer organization in the U.S., representing over 270,000 cattle producers across all 50 states. The conversation spans major ongoing concerns in the beef industry, including: Beef market trends in 2025 and how high demand, limited herd supply, and rising quality have kept prices strong. The delays in the Farm Bill and its implications for ranchers and producers, especially the crucial funding for Foot and Mouth Disease vaccine banks. How water scarcity, drought conditions, and aquifer depletion are shaping the cattle landscape—and what producers are doing to adapt. The rise of niche beef markets like grass-fed, locally sourced, and hormone-free, and how they're driving demand and providing new revenue for producers. A deep dive into the New World Screw Worm crisis: what it is, why it's dangerous, how it re-emerged, and what the cattle industry must do now to stop it. The role of NCBA in advocacy, public awareness, technology integration, and emergency response in the face of this new biological threat. Colin also shares how NCBA is leading national response efforts, from lobbying for sterile fly production to helping producers identify, treat, and report infestations. It's a critical listen for landowners, cattle producers, ag investors, and anyone concerned with rural land health, agricultural policy, or the food supply chain.

The nutrition title was first included in the 1973 farm bill. It's projected to make up 84% of total Farm Bill spending, with most of the funds going to SNAP. That's because the program helps more than 40 million low-income individuals provide food for their families each month. Some of those people are farmers. In this episode, we talk to Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy at the Fair Food Network to dig into how the farm bill links farms and food access.  And we'll talk to farmers about how they are uniquely positioned to directly provide nutritious food for the families in their communities. Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy, Fair Food NetworkMark joined the Fair Food Network after an extensive career in leading organizations involved in national agriculture policy and specialty crop production. He is a third-generation apple farmer and spent much of his professional life co-running a New York-based family business, including developing value-added products to increase revenue to the farm. His work advocating for the specialty crop industry over the past two decades earned him national recognition as a skilled and dedicated policy expert, included roles as the Chairman of the Board and member of the Government Affairs Committee for the U.S. Apple Association (USApple). Mark also spent time in his early career working in government at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and at USApple. Mark brings multiple perspectives to the agriculture policy world, and a strong passion and understanding for the myriad issues that face family farms today.
