Podcasts about farmers

Graham Platner has never run for elected office before. He's a war veteran, an oyster farmer, and now he's running in a Democratic primary to eventually unseat Senator Susan Collins of Maine. He's ahead in the polls, but he's also been criticized for Reddit comments from his past and recently covered up a tattoo that looks suspiciously like a Nazi symbol (a connection he denies knowing about). Last week, before the recent attacks on Iran, Anna sat down with Graham to discuss his unlikely outsider campaign. They also talk about his upbringing in rural Maine, his military experience (and current anti-war stance), and what politicians need to do to actually help working people today.

If you've ever thought, “What's the worst that could happen?” — today's episode of The Rizzuto Show answers that with: a Lego and a 75-inch QLED.We kick things off with a listener email that spirals faster than a toddler with building blocks. A military family makes new friends. Their kid launches a Lego. The Lego meets TV. The TV loses. Suddenly it's a $1,200 moral dilemma involving Amazon orders, Facebook Marketplace dreams, and whether you're entitled to the “damaged goods” after offering to replace it. Is it doing the right thing… or financing someone else's home upgrade? We debate it like the totally qualified life coaches we are. Spoiler: don't bring your kids anywhere. Ever.Then we dive headfirst into the latest dating insanity lighting up TikTok: Alpine Divorce — where someone literally leaves their partner stranded on a hike. Yes, this is apparently a thing. Yes, we're concerned. And yes, King Scott briefly considers whether he would've tried this in a past relationship. From narcissistic punishment hikes to ghostlighting (ghosting + gaslighting = modern romance), this comedy podcast unpacks the absolute circus that is dating in 2026.And because love clearly needed one more hit, divorce lawyers of Reddit reveal the pettiest reasons people filed for divorce. We're talking:• Asking how someone takes their coffee for seven years• Smacking lips while eating• $42,000 spent on psychic hotlines• Monitoring toilet paper usage like it's a federal auditSomewhere in here we accidentally hold a memorial for Ms. Cleo, question which professions cheat the most (uniforms… looking at you), and discover that apparently pharmacists are the gold standard of loyalty. Farmers too. Accountants are out here winning quietly.It's messy. It's chaotic. It's oddly therapeutic. It's exactly what a daily comedy podcast should be — friends arguing about nonsense while occasionally stumbling into real-life wisdom.If you came for thoughtful relationship guidance… lower your expectations immediately.If you came for laughs, weird news, and St. Louis morning show chaos — welcome home.This is The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy podcast where we solve nothing but talk about everything.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

#800 From backyard-grown herbs and screen doors used as drying racks to national retail shelves, Jodi Scott's journey with Green Goo is a masterclass in building a mission-driven CPG brand! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with the co-founder and CEO of Green Goo to unpack how they set out to “reinvent first aid” with plant-based solutions that actually work — earning passionate customer stories, scaling into major retailers (including the Army & Air Force Exchange), and adapting fast when the market wasn't ready for “plant-based” a decade ago. Jodi also shares the behind-the-scenes reality of hypergrowth, navigating financing and forecasting, surviving the retail shutdown during COVID by ramping DTC, and the hard-earned mental fitness practices that helped her buy the company back and rebuild after a failed partnership nearly wiped everything out! What we discuss with Jodi: + Reinventing first aid + Plant-based + high efficacy + Backyard-to-kitchen production + Farmer's market validation + Customer stories (eczema, wounds) + Launching a website to reorder + Retail expansion learning curve + Army & Air Force Exchange pitch + COVID pivot to DTC + Amazon + Selling, losing, buying back the brand Thank you, Jodi!

Maria Farmer, one of the earliest known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein, has alleged that Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell sexually abused her when she was in her late teens in the mid-1990s. Farmer has stated that Epstein and Maxwell recruited her under the pretense of helping her artistic career, then coerced her into sexual encounters at Epstein's New York townhouse and Palm Beach mansion. She has also described being trafficked to other locations where Epstein's powerful friends were present and claims that attempts to report the abuse to authorities were ignored or dismissed, allowing the exploitation to continue. Farmer's testimony has been part of civil claims against Epstein's estate and documents made public through litigation have detailed her accounts of manipulation, isolation, and sexual assault.In addition to her personal abuse claims, Farmer has accused Epstein and Maxwell of operating a larger trafficking network in which vulnerable young women were groomed and exploited. She has provided sworn statements and affidavits asserting that Epstein maintained detailed records and materials related to the abuse, and that individuals in his circle were aware of, or complicit in, the exploitation. Farmer's allegations have contributed to a broader legal and public examination of Epstein's conduct, including claims against his estate by survivors seeking compensation and accountability for decades of alleged trafficking and sexual abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of DairyVoice, Connie Kuber of Sealpro Silage Barrier Films by Connor Agriscience, interviews Matt Fox & Patty Larkin of Agricultural Consulting Services (ACS). They discuss their new product TWINE.AG. Twine.Ag is a fully geo-referenced tool that is designed to put field and crop data at the farmer's fingertips. The ACS team consists of crop consultants who handle the crop side of a dairy farmer's business, and they are environmental planning consultants who handle the CAFO or LFO regulatory side of things. Twine.Ag enables growers to record their own planting and manure application records, which are instantly shared with their crop consultant. Matt and Patty talk about some of the issues this new product solves and features they think will be really useful. For more information, go to https://Twine.Ag.

Producers must understand the pressures faced by roasters and buyers, but buyers must also understand that smallholders are carrying climate, currency, and market risk simultaneously. She also speaks directly to producers. This is a moment where smallholder farmers must see themselves not as “the poor part” of the supply chain, but as business owners. That means improving efficiency, understanding cost structures, adopting regenerative practices, using data, and leveraging new tools including AI to forecast production and manage risk more intelligently.We also discuss generational transition. If the next generation of producers does not see a viable value proposition in coffee, they will leave. And if producers decide not to sell when conditions are unfair, the industry must be prepared for that reality.This episode challenges every stakeholder. Producers must grow into their power.

It's tax season — which means farmers, ag business owners, and ag-tech founders are all asking the same question: Did I miss something?In this episode of the AgCulture Podcast, Paul sits down with Louie Pitman and Sid Speir from RK Partners to unpack one of the most overlooked financial tools in agriculture — the R&D Tax Credit. RK Partners helps companies across agriculture and ag-tech optimize this government incentive, which can return roughly $0.10 for every $1 spent on qualifying research and development activity.And that activity may be happening on your farm already.R&D in agriculture can include animal health and nutrition programs, feed trials, crop science, genetics, automation, process improvements, robotics, AI systems, and even sustainability initiatives. RK works with farms and ag-tech businesses across the U.S. — including dairy, poultry, swine, crop operations, and agricultural technology providers — helping them identify, document, and defend qualifying claims.If you're experimenting, improving, testing, or building — this conversation may apply to you more than you think.You can learn more about RK Partners at: https://www.rkpartners.comMEET THE GUESTSLouie PitmanLouie is a Partner at RK Partners, working closely with agricultural businesses across the United States to help them maximize federal and state tax credits.

The farming minister says changes announced this week will help make farms more resilient. Angela Eagle speaks to us about the government's biggest environmental scheme, England's Sustainable Farming Incentive, which is getting an overhaul. The other UK nations have different schemes. Reaction has been generally welcoming, with some buts...Farmers and landowners are calling for a new arrangement which would allow them to take rubbish illegally fly tipped on their land to landfill sites free of charge. At the moment they have to foot the bill for any clean up. This comes as new government figures for England show a nine per cent increase year on year in the number of incidents local councils have to deal with. We hear an update on the illegal waste site cleanup at Hoad's Wood near Ashford in Kent.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

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?

For many producers, these prices have barely covered cost of production.We explore the role of currency exchange in shaping margins, including how contracts signed in US dollars interact with expenses paid in Colombian pesos. We also discuss the hidden costs of marketing, trade shows, and relationship-building — investments producers must make to sustain direct trade relationships.The conversation widens into financial market mechanics. Coffee futures pricing is influenced not only by supply and demand fundamentals, but also by hedge fund positioning, margin calls, currency trades, and macroeconomic forces unrelated to farm production. These second-order financial effects can push prices down even when physical coffee remains scarce.For smallholder farmers, these shifts are not abstract. They create uncertainty in planning, cash flow pressure, and concern about long-term viability.Ana closes this episode by stating clearly: these are not high prices. They are prices that barely cover cost.If we do not separate financial market volatility from farm-level economics, we risk misunderstanding what sustainability truly requires.Guest linksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cafeprimitivo/Website: https://www.cafeprimitivocolombia.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anadonneys/***************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

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.

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 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
