In the years leading up to the American Revolution, newspapers and pamphlets overflowed with essays signed "Publius," "Brutus," and "A Farmer." Those arguments helped shape a nation, but the authors' real names were nowhere to be found. Americans have long relied on anonymous speech to challenge the powerful, protect dissenters, and keep the focus on ideas rather than identities. That tradition has endured into America's digital age, even as anonymous speech has become more controversial. To explore America's history with anonymity, we are joined by Jeff Kosseff, a nonresident senior legal fellow at The Future of Free Speech and author of The United States of Anonymous. Preorder his forthcoming book, The Future of Free Speech: Reversing the Global Decline of Democracy's Most Essential Freedom.   Timestamps:  00:00 Intro   02:01 What is anonymity? 04:38 Anonymous speech in Colonial America 15:58 Does the First Amendment protect anonymity? 20:35 Anonymous speech in the Civil Rights Era  31:17 The internet and anonymity 35:44 Modern anonymity debates: DHS subpoenas, age verification, social media regulation, and VPN bans 51:53 Outro   Enjoy listening to the podcast?

The Environment Secretary has revealed more details of the rebooted Sustainable Farming Incentive in England, at the National Farmers Union Conference. It'll include an annual cap of £100,000 and fewer options. Smaller farms of between 3 and 50 hectares will be able to apply in June, as will larger farms who haven't previously been signed up to one of the Environment Land Management schemes. Everyone else will be able to apply in September. The President of the NFU, Tom Bradshaw, told the conference that that a failure to build farming resilience would put food security, and national security at risk. Some of the delegates reflect on resilience and confidence in their own businesses: we hear from a pig farmer, wheat and potato grower, and a young dairy farmer.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that the USDA is providing $1 billion in assistance for specialty crops and sugar.

It feels like the golden days for dairy farmers as they celebrate a record-breaking year. Dairy NZ's annual state of the dairy nation report shows farmers produced an unprecedented 21 billion litres of milk in the 2024/2025 season. The sector smashed export records – raking in more than $27 billion. Dairy NZ Chief Executive Campbell Parker told Mike Hosking it reflects the good work farmers have done over a long time. He says this injection into the economy can be invested back, meaning it's especially good for New Zealand. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Season 3 – Episode 1 of the Sarver Living Podcast:Guardians of the LandThis is my second podcast conversation with Jim, a continuation of the first and it goes even deeper into the life and legacy of a man who has quietly helped shape Sarver and Buffalo Township for generations.Almost two decades ago, when my husband and I chose Sarver to be our home, we came with a simple vision…to farm. We started with grass-fed beef and over time transitioned into horses. What we didn't know then was that one of the very first people we would meet would become such an important part of our story… Mr. Jim Riddle.Jim was given his first calf at just four years old; a true rite of passage in cattle farming and he has been stewarding the land ever since. Farming isn't just what he does. It is who he is.Farmers like Jim are more than landowners; they are guardians. They understand seasons of growth and seasons of waiting. They preserve open space. They protect tradition. They carry forward the values that built this community long before development began to change the landscape.As Buffalo Township and Sarver continue to grow, it becomes even more important to preserve the stories of the families who built this place. Their work ethic. Their faithfulness. Their quiet leadership. Their commitment to neighbors. These are the foundations of our town.Jim and his wife, Helen, didn't just raise cattle, they raised people. By fostering over 100 boys through the years, they invested in lives with the same patience and intention they gave to their fields. That kind of legacy becomes woven into the very fabric of a community.It matters deeply to me that we document these legends while we still can. To sit at kitchen tables. To walk the pastures. To record the stories of the men and women who shaped Sarver so years from now, when it looks different, we remember who built it and what it stood for.Jim is not just a farmer. He is a guardian of the land and of the values that define this place.I hope you enjoy this continuation of his story.Follow @sarverliving for all things local and future episodes.Listen via the link in bio or stream on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and more.The mission of Sarver Living is to create community by practicing it. #practicecommunityHere's to living our best Sarver Living.Sylvia Maxwell

Most farmers think tax credits are for tech companies and laboratories. They're wrong. The Research & Development tax credit has been around since 1981 — originally built to encourage innovation. Over the decades, it has become more taxpayer-friendly and more accessible… but still incredibly underutilized in agriculture. In this episode, we talk with Onshore, a tax technology company founded in 2020. Joining us: • Tim Taschner – Midwest native who grew up around ADM, now leading agricultural R&D tax credit case studies • Dominic Vitucci – CEO with a background in accounting and computer science, blending tax expertise with automation We break down: • What the R&D tax credit actually is • The history behind it and how it evolved • What qualifies in agriculture (farming, livestock, food processing) • Why testing new hybrids, chemistries, feed strategies, or processes may qualify • How AI now automates roughly 80% of the documentation process • What “audit-ready documentation” actually means • The difference between deductions and credits • What happens if you haven't paid taxes yet • How credits can carry back or forward • Why cost segregation and 179D deductions also matter Onshore's mission is simple: Turn tax incentives from a confusing compliance burden into a strategic advantage. Instead of spending weeks building documentation manually, their software integrates with enterprise systems, processes data quickly, and delivers clean, audit-ready support — including free audit defense. In today's tight-margin environment, producers and agribusinesses can't afford to overlook legitimate credits. If you operate: • 800+ acres • Livestock operations • Food processing • Agribusiness support companies • Or any operation testing improvements This conversation could directly impact your bottom line. Because the smartest operators don't just grow crops.

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with Tommy Farmer of Carolina Cast Pro about building true long-distance surf casting setups for big red drum—rods, reels, rigs, and the casting mechanics behind them.Tommy shares how a 1996 trip to Cape Point, including landing a 45-inch drum and watching champion caster Mike Langston bomb a cast, sparked his path into competitive distance casting and surf fishing.They break down the real-world system: why overhead (revolving-spool) reels outcast spinning when set up right, why Tommy prefers 20–25 lb mono with a 50–60 lb shock leader, and how compact fish-finder “8-and-bait” rigs help maximize distance without helicoptering.On the rod-building side, Tommy explains why heavy surf rods need leverage (longer handles set to the angler), how guide placement can change how a blank loads, and the five fundamentals he teaches: footwork, body rotation, arms, acceleration, and the importance of 45 degrees.Mastering Rod Building is brought to you by Anglers Resource — your source for genuine Fuji Tackle components.Where to buy genuine FUJI®️ rod components (Area Distributors)Japan: FIRST Corporation — https://first-fuji.co.jp/ • mail@first-fuji.co.jpAmerican Continent (North & South America): Anglers Resource — https://anglersresource.net/ • info@anglersresource.netOceania: Frogleys Offshore — https://fujitackle.com.au • enquiries@frogleysoffshore.com.auSpain/Czech/Finland/Sweden/Estonia/Latvia/Poland/Denmark/Belgium/Germany/Netherlands/Ireland/Luxembourg/France/Portugal/UK/Norway/Belarus/Ukraine/Russia:: CALICO S.A.

In this episode, we unpack what it actually requires from a smallholder producer.Ana explains that direct trade takes years to build. It requires aligned values, transparent communication, and strong relationships. It also requires significant capital.

The Wisconsin FFA held its second annual FFA auctioneering competition, with Junie Kierce, a junior at Waunakee High School, capturing first place. Kierce visits with Ben Jarboe about how she happened upon the competition, and prepared for the event. Junie looked for a mentor to sharpen her skills and connected with fundraising auctioneer Jenny Gale of North Prairie. Training began with mastering numbers—counting forward and backward, working in quarters and hundreds—to build a strong foundation. Tongue twisters were a major part of practice to develop rhythm, clarity, and speed before refining an auction chant. Once comfortable with cadence and numbers, Junie worked on incorporating filler words and creating a smooth chant. Beyond the chant, mentoring also focused on salesmanship, knowing the items, stage presence, and overcoming stage fright. The Wisconsin Auctioneers Association promotes the competition to introduce FFA students to career opportunities in the auction industry. Be grateful you're not in New York City today! Stu Muck says the wild winter weather they're dealing with on the East Coast won't make its presence felt in WI, but our temps will stay cold.Farmers aren't the only ones who pay close attention to the weather for their occupations. So do riverboat captains. Kiley Allan catches up with Jimmy “JRock” Cheatham, Pilot Barge Captain on the Mississippi River. While navigation continues, heavy river ice can cut travel speeds in half and requires square barge configurations to prevent ice from packing into gaps and hindering steering. To navigate treacherous winter conditions and lower water levels caused by ongoing droughts, captains must reduce tow sizes—sometimes from 42+ barges down to 25—which directly impacts corporate profitability.Congratulations to Bryanna and Dylan Handel of Barneveld. They've been named the 2026 Compeer Financial Groundbreakers of the Year. Pam Jahnke explains their farming operation.Wisconsin FFA Alumni have some big plans for 2026! Tari Costello, executive director of the group, explains that they have 2,000 more members this year compared to last, with 10 new chapters added to the roster. Costello says the group is undertaking an effort to launch FFA license plates for the state. Once they've secured all the financial support needed, as well as necessary signatures to begin, they estimate that $25 of each license plate sold would end up benefitting FFA in Wisconsin. She explains the plan to Pam Jahnke.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alignment is often underestimated as a single “yes.” Transformation just doesn't work that way.In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Awais Farooq discusses with Nellie Wartoft how real alignment comes from designing for difference: segmenting people by adoption behavior, tailoring communication by role & channel, and using real adoption signals to adjust in real time. They also dig into why top-down cascades miss the people most impacted, how to uncover “what's in it for me” at scale, and why premortems & postmortems are the difference between learning and repeating the same mistakes with new packaging.Awais Farooq is the Chief Claims Officer at Venbrook and a senior insurance executive, transformation strategist, and keynote speaker with nearly two decades of experience across State Farm, Farmers, Chubb, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD, and Crawford & Company.Recognized as a national voice on insurance innovation and claims transformation, Awais has spoken at leading industry conferences and executive leadership forums. His thought leadership has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and PropertyCasualty360. He holds the CPCU, AIC, and AIC-M designations from The Institutes. His upcoming book, The Future Isn't Fully Automated: Why Humans Still Matter in a High-Tech World, examines how AI and automation are reshaping insurance while reinforcing the enduring importance of human judgment, empathy, and leadership.Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com

Most farmers think tax credits are for tech companies and laboratories. They're wrong. The Research & Development tax credit has been around since 1981 — originally built to encourage innovation. Over the decades, it has become more taxpayer-friendly and more accessible… but still incredibly underutilized in agriculture. In this episode, we talk with Onshore, a tax technology company founded in 2020. Joining us: • Tim Taschner – Midwest native who grew up around ADM, now leading agricultural R&D tax credit case studies • Dominic Vitucci – CEO with a background in accounting and computer science, blending tax expertise with automation We break down: • What the R&D tax credit actually is • The history behind it and how it evolved • What qualifies in agriculture (farming, livestock, food processing) • Why testing new hybrids, chemistries, feed strategies, or processes may qualify • How AI now automates roughly 80% of the documentation process • What “audit-ready documentation” actually means • The difference between deductions and credits • What happens if you haven't paid taxes yet • How credits can carry back or forward • Why cost segregation and 179D deductions also matter Onshore's mission is simple: Turn tax incentives from a confusing compliance burden into a strategic advantage. Instead of spending weeks building documentation manually, their software integrates with enterprise systems, processes data quickly, and delivers clean, audit-ready support — including free audit defense. In today's tight-margin environment, producers and agribusinesses can't afford to overlook legitimate credits. If you operate: • 800+ acres • Livestock operations • Food processing • Agribusiness support companies • Or any operation testing improvements This conversation could directly impact your bottom line. Because the smartest operators don't just grow crops. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Welcome back to Barn Talk! In today's episode, hosts Tork and Sawyer sit down for another candid, insightful conversation, this time with David Newman, a true leader in the U.S. pork industry and the current CEO of the National Pork Board. From his roots as a fourth-generation pig farmer to guiding national marketing strategies on behalf of 60,000 pork producers, David Newman brings a unique perspective straddling both boots-on-the-ground agriculture and big-picture industry leadership.Together, they dig into the major shifts that pork producers have seen in the last year, from resilient domestic demand and record-setting exports, to the evolving challenges around labor, health, and new opportunities in international markets. Listen in as David Newman shares his personal backstory—growing up on a diversified family farm, weathering years of ups and downs, and the grit it takes to innovate and adapt in modern agriculture. Plus, the trio explores the future of pork: innovations in product cuts, shifting consumer tastes, and how pork's affordability and versatility are creating the biggest opportunities in decades for producers at every scale.If you've ever wondered what it takes to transition from farm life to high-level leadership, how small-town innovation can change an entire industry, or what the future holds for one of America's cornerstone proteins, this episode is for you.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ➱ https://bit.ly/3a7r3nR  SUBSCRIBE TO THIS'LL DO FARM ➱ https://bit.ly/2X8g45c LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY ➱ https://open.spotify.com/show/3icVr4KWq4eUDl7Oy60YMY APPLE ➱ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/barn-talk/id1574395049Follow Behind The Scenes

In this bonus episode of the Growing for Market Podcast, we hear from long-time GFM writer, farmer and Minneapolis resident Sam Oschwald Tilton about how immigration enforcement is playing out in Minneapolis. In an industry with an estimated 40% of workers undocumented, the way immigration laws are enforced probably has a bigger impact on farming than any other industry. Many farmworkers with legal status- for example those on H-2A, refugee, asylum or H-2B visas- have been detained in the current immigration enforcement.  The fact that even documented workers are being detained is disrupting both farms and families as workers wonder if their documentation can be relied upon and farm employers wonder if their employees will show up for work. We connected two articles from Growing for Market Magazine about the H-2A visa process below as both a resource for farmers and an example for how the expansion of the guestworker program could provide a framework for foreign-born workers to legally meet the demand for farmworkers in the United States.  Related articles: Article: Demystifying the H-2A program from Growing for Market Magazine Article: Navigating the H-2A guestworker visa program from Growing for Market Magazine
