Today's farms rely on technology more than ever. From grain dryers and irrigation pivots to livestock systems, security cameras, accounting software, and smartphones, nearly every part of a modern farming operation is connected. That also makes agriculture one of the fastest-growing targets for cybercriminals. Chris from Tech Support Farm returns to Farm4Profit to discuss how farms can better protect themselves from ransomware, phishing scams, compromised credit cards, malware, and attacks on connected equipment. The conversation covers real-world examples—including Tanner's own experience with fraudulent credit card charges—and explains how remote monitoring, endpoint detection, password management, secure business email, mobile device management, and network monitoring work together to reduce risk. The episode also explores: Business email security Password managers Public Wi-Fi risks Phishing scams Credit card fraud Remote monitoring Endpoint detection (EDR) Mobile device management Irrigation and grain dryer security Data backups Disaster recovery Cyber insurance Farm technology infrastructure AI and digital threats Whether you operate a family farm or a multi-location business, this episode offers practical advice that could save your operation from significant financial loss and downtime.

Ohlthaver & List het erken dat die verlies van Namibië se Noorse skaap-uitvoerkwota 'n groot knou aan sy Farmers Meat Market-bedrywighede in Mariental toegedien het. Dit kom nadat nuwe ontleding toon dat die abattoir se sluiting nie te wyte is aan 'n tekort aan vee nie, maar aan die verlies van sy enigste premium-uitvoermark en versadigde streeksvraag. Ten spyte daarvan dat skaapbemarking vanjaar met meer as 38 persent toegeneem het, word byna 80 persent van die diere lewend na Suid-Afrika uitgevoer in plaas daarvan om plaaslik verwerk te word.

Summer wildfires are happening all over the UK, France, Spain, Europe and the rest of the world. Can anything be done to prevent or manage them? In this emergency podcast episode Ben is joined by Alex Crawley (Director, Grazing Management Ltd), Michael Priestley (Policy Manager, National Sheep Association), Craig Hope (National Resilience Wildfire Capability Advisor for the National Fire Chiefs Council) and Emma Douglas (grazier from the Gower Peninsula in south Wales) to debate whether grazing or rewilding parts of the landscape could be part of the solution in the uplands. We also hear from Eleanor Gilbert (Berkshire farmer; 'aka Berkshire Farm Girl') about an experience with fire she had recently while harvesting in Berkshire.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Joel Salatin to the show. Joel Salatin is a self described Christian Libertarian Environmentalist Capitalist Lunatic Farmer. Salatin describes a deeply distorted US agricultural landscape, where massive oversupply of corn and soybeans coexists with a historic cattle shortage. Half of domestic corn goes to ethanol, not food, and China's pursuit of self-sufficiency is eroding soybean exports, yet government bailouts keep older, risk-averse farmers locked into unprofitable cropping cycles. This parasitic dependence on subsidies props up unneeded production while stifling the market signals that would otherwise push farmers toward cattle, a switch he demonstrated could be highly profitable and capital-efficient. The fertilizer and energy shocks from Middle East conflicts further expose the fragility of input-dependent farming. Salatin noted that rising fuel costs drive farm bankruptcies and accelerate land consolidation into the hands of patient capital, including family offices and billionaires. He emphasized that genuine food security is not threatened by lack of production but by water scarcity and desertification driven by vegetative loss from overgrazing and continuous cropping. Instead, he champions a biological paradigm of farming that builds soil through cover crops, intensive rotational grazing, and on-farm composting to eliminate synthetic inputs. His own Polyface Farms exemplifies this model, integrating livestock, forest, and direct marketing to create a resilient, local carbon economy. Salatin contends that the path forward lies not in propping up the failing industrial system but in entrepreneurial adoption of regenerative practices that mimic nature's nutrient cycles and restore hydrological balance.

Admirers hail him as the world’s most famous farmer, the high priest of the pasture, and Virginia’s most eclectic thinker since Thomas Jefferson. Detractors label him a bio-terrorist, Typhoid Mary, charlatan, and starvation advocate. Armed with high school and college debate trophies, 16 published books, and a thriving multi-generational family farm, Salatin draws on decades of food, farming, and fantasy to captivate global audiences. Equally at home herding cows or keynoting for Wall Street CEOs, he covers profitable regenerative farming techniques alongside cultural debates like orthodoxy versus heresy. A staple on radio and podcasts for preppers, homesteaders, ecological farmers, and foodies, Salatin blends practical, can-do entrepreneurial solutions with passionate sustainability advocacy.

Farmer Cee Stanley returns to The Herbalist Hour to discuss her new book, The Black Girl's Guide to Building a Boutique Farm and share what she's learned while building Green Heffa Farms into a nationally recognized herbal business. I always enjoy talking with Cee because our conversations go far beyond herbs.  We dive into branding, entrepreneurship, marketing, mindset, fundraising, and what it really takes to build a business that's aligned with your values instead of chasing trends or social media algorithms. In this conversation, Cee introduces her "5 V's" framework for building a boutique brand, explains why market research should come before planting your first herb, discusses the difference between branding and marketing, and shares why she strives to be an impact generator rather than simply a content creator. If you've ever dreamed of starting an herb farm, growing an herbal business, or building something meaningful from the ground up, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode. ~Mason PS - WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE LINKS & RESOURCES Green Heffa Farms | GreenHeffaFarms.com Black Girl's Guide to Building a Boutique Farm | BUY THE BOOK Cee on Instagram | @farmercee

Dr. David Kohl, Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech is keeping an eye on the global economy and input costs of today's farm. Kohl speaks with Bob Bosold about how outside forces can make some big ripples in Wisconsin's farming operations today, that will likely last into 2027. He starts by discussing the energy complex and its impact on operating costs. Kohls says he would expect that farms might be forced to make some difficult decisons about overall direction before the end of the year. Rain is finally on the way for a majority of Wisconsin. Stu Muck breaks down the path of precipitation and volume we can expect. To date there's more than 18,000 cases of cyclospora that the Centers for Disease Control is tracking in 45 different states. The argument over whether it was food borne in lettuce continues. Do stories like this change the way consumers approach buying produce? Teri Barr finds out from Kathy Bures of Bures Berry Patch in Barneveld. Despite the fact that their name has "berry" the farm is involved in fresh market sales year round. Bures says her customers know their protocol and are comfortable that their food source is safe. It's probably one of the most under appreciated crops we have. Alfalfa. Now, alfalfa and forage producers have a new risk management tool available after a lot of education. Beth Nelson, president of the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance has a great "elevator pitch" to quickly educate staff members that might keep her from getting policy makers moving on program needs. Pam Jahnke makes some notes on the high value of alfalfa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comIn 1982, the Dallas Morning News editorial page had a name for a guy who wanted to bring back farmers markets in Texas: socialist.Not Medicare for All. Not a wealth tax. Farmers markets. The kind with watermelons and a guy selling tomatoes off a folding table.Hightower ran for Texas Agriculture Commissioner with the idea as a key part of his platform anyway. He won. And in his first year in office, he and a staff of six built a hundred of them across the state.Forty-some years later, Democratic strategists are still having the same panic attack about socialism. Turns out the “radical” thing was never the label itself; it was whether the guy delivered on campaign promises.Here, Hightower tells the story himself: the watermelon stand outside Weatherford that started it all, how Hightower's staff created the market access for the farmers, and the line he used to shut the haters up for good — “the word ‘free' in ‘free enterprise' is not an adjective. It is a verb.”

(Jul 30, 2026) Farmers in multiple North Country counties who were impacted by spring freeze events may be eligible for federal emergency loans; we go back in time to learn about the creative ways a kid from Ticonderoga used to make his own money; and our North Country at Work coordinator Ana Williams-Bergen is in the studio to give us a peek behind the curtain at how the series gets made.

Farmers around the country have formed a new alliance called Farmers for Animals, Communities and the Environment otherwise known as the FACE Ag Network.

The scheme is ‘under subscribed’ despite a €87m budget and nationwide protests calling for the supports. Jerry spoke to Bill O’Keeffe, IFA Farm Business chair.

Have you ever found yourself putting off the very marketing task that could help your farm grow? Writing the email. Launching the promotion. Recording the video. Raising your prices. Building the sales page. You know it needs to get done... but every time you think about it, you feel that heavy sense of dread. In this episode, I share a personal discovery that is challenging the the way I think about procrastination, marketing, and business growth. After catching myself avoiding two important projects this month, I realized something surprising: I wasn't avoiding the work. I was avoiding the story I was telling myself about the work. In this episode, we'll explore why your brain creates dread in the first place, why we often mistake uncertainty for difficulty, and why many farmers wrongly conclude they're "bad at marketing" when they're really just avoiding uncomfortable marketing tasks. Most importantly, I'll show you how to reinterpret dread -- not as a stop sign, but as a possible indicator that you're standing at the edge of growth. If you've been procrastinating on marketing, struggling to take action, or feeling stuck in your farm business, this episode will give you a completely new way to think about what's really holding you back.

Narendra Modi's 12 year rule of India has never looked so fragile.Weeks of protests have engulfed the country following the leak of a medical entrance exam paper, which forced nearly two million students to resit the test. Protestors hailed victory from the resignation of the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday.On today's podcast, Hugh asks our contributor in New Delhi, Rahul Bedi, to explain the significance of the movement.What had fanned the flames, he said, was the description of unemployed young people as “cockroaches” by one senior government minister.Then, out of the ootheca hatched the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical movement that has channelled the frustrations of millions of young Indians who, in the words of Bedi, believe the country is increasingly dominated by corruption, privilege and vested interests.They're not alone.Farmers have again been protesting at the state of the rural economy. And another campaign has emerged against the government's ethanol-blended fuel policy, with some motorists arguing that petrol containing 20% ethanol reduces fuel efficiency and may damage engines.Bedi explains what these large movements mean for the strength and future of the Narendra Modi administration.

And the other is the 40hr Farmer live greenhouse coaching and video course, brought to you by Growing for Market and Orisha greenhouse automation (it's also free for all GFM subscribers by the way- get the code to register from the home page when you log in). Now, The 40hr Farmer is currently an in-depth look at greenhouse tomato growing, but in the future we are going to expand it to other crops.  And since we know Rebecca knows about automating GH flower crops from her article, and that greenhouse flowers can be as profitable if not more so than greenhouse vegetables, we wanted to get her opinion on which flower crops would be most important to cover when we get to flowers. Listen to this interview to hear why Rebecca recommends ranunculus, snapdragons and lisianthus as some of the GH flower crops that might need their own courses, and why growers are so obsessed with their greenhouses. We also talk about the greenhouse set points for these crops, climate settings for reducing disease in flower crops in general, maximizing production, why sometimes it can actually be cheaper and more efficient to grow a crop hotter, and more.

In this episode, we explore how communities can support farmer mental health through peer-to-peer education and outreach. Jonathan Lawrence of the Iowa Farmers Union Education Foundation shares how a Great Plains Center Community Pilot Grant helped train farmers to recognize signs of stress, have supportive conversations, and connect others with professional mental health resources. The discussion highlights the value of Mental Health First Aid, the importance of building trusted community networks, and how simple acts of support can strengthen the health and resilience of rural communities. Episode ResourcesIowa Farmers Union, Education PageMental Health First Aid Training, National Council for Mental WellbeingMental Health Awareness, GPCAH Topic Page

The fight over AI data centers has entered a disturbing new phase. The developers and local government officials are becoming more fascistic, immoral, and dishonest in their effort to avoid public scrutiny and opposition. Oklahoma farmer and grassroots activist Darren Blanchard joins me to expose how Big Tech developers and government officials are allegedly using intimidation, deception, and political pressure to force massive AI data center projects into rural America. After speaking just seconds beyond his allotted time at a local council meeting, Blanchard was arrested. But that wasn't the biggest revelation. Through public records requests, he uncovered what appeared to be hundreds of fraudulent emails sent to local officials using the names of real residents to manufacture public support for a controversial data center project. Some residents say they never sent the emails. One reportedly came from a deceased individual. We also cover the connection between data centers, solar projects, and land acquisition, and why farmers are raising concerns about the threats to food production. Finally, we get political and discuss the future of grassroots resistance to Big Tech and how it might spawn a new party.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gianni Vattimo — the Catholic-communist-gay Italian pioneer of pensiero debole (weak thought) — died in 2023, and the intellectual biography he deserved has finally arrived, courtesy of Thomas Jared Farmer, a fellow Claremont alum who wrote the book at the University of Münster and now works at Emory Law School. Vattimo is not the household philosopher he should be in English, and this book fixes that. Farmer weaves the biography I did not know — five-year-old Vattimo under British bombs in Turin, his Calabrian accent he could not shake, his flight from a Red Brigades hit list of his own former students, his letter-writing relationship with Pope Francis, his friendship with Umberto Eco — into the four big ideas that make Vattimo essential right now. What weak thought actually is. Why metaphysical certainty always ends in violence. Why secularization is the fulfillment of Christianity, not its enemy. And why hermeneutic communism is what the anti-authoritarian imagination needs. One of the most fun conversations I have had all summer. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Thomas Jared Farmer is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University School of Law, where he works with John Witte on the intersection of philosophical hermeneutics and legal theory. He completed his MA in philosophy of religion at Claremont Graduate University (studying with Ingolf Dalferth and the late Anselm Min) and his PhD at the University of Münster in Germany under Hans-Peter Grosshans. He grew up in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in upstate South Carolina. His new book is Gianni Vattimo: Philosopher, Communist, Catholic, Nihilist (Columbia University Press, 2025) — the definitive English-language intellectual biography of Vattimo. JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together. It's free to join, every session is recorded, and it kicks off Thursday, August 27. Grab your spot at HomebrewedClasses.com.
