Most flower farmers know how to grow beautiful bouquets but where things fall apart is pricing them in a way that actually supports a profitable, sustainable farm business. In this episode of the Six Figure Flower Farming Podcast, Jenny Marks walks through why “fair” pricing and competitor comparison often lead to undercharging, and why confidence in pricing comes from data, not gut feelings. She breaks down the real costs bouquet pricing must cover, including production, labor, overhead, and profit, and explains why separating emotion from math is essential if you want long term financial security on your flower farm. This episode is all about giving flower farmers a clear framework and a simple starting action step to price bouquets for profit without burning out or racing to the bottom.

Donal Whelton, Head of Agri at AIB, joins Stuart Childs to discuss the financial situation that Irish dairy farmers are currently in and what challenges they may face and the solutions they may require in 2026. Donal says that the Irish dairy sector is entering 2026 from a position of financial strength. Farm debt levels are nearly half of what they were in 2009. Meanwhile, farm cash balances have doubled over the same period. Overdraft utilisation in dairy is currently at its second lowest in 20 years and despite tighter milk prices this year, the sector overall has stronger balance sheets than in previous downturns. Cost inflation is now the primary financial pressure. Total dairy farm operating costs have risen by 46% since 2020 with the key drivers of this being fertiliser and energy and concentrate feed which is up 56% and now averaging 9 c/L of production cost. Production costs range from mid-30s to mid-50s c/L, creating major resilience differences between farms. Knowing your break-even milk price, preparing 2025 accounts early (especially for tax liabilities), and targeting cost control will be important this year. Finally, Donal offers some advice around being prepared for a year like 2026, he recommends financial buffers such as €500 per cow working capital available at start of year and where debt level is >€3,000/cow, hold a reserve to cover 12 months of repayments.  Farmers should complete simple forward cashflow projections (even in a notebook) to quantify funding needs accurately before approaching banks. Consider financing capital projects or tax liabilities rather than depleting cash. Banks can offer overdraft increases, term loans, interest-only options, or retrospective CapEx funding to help ease any cashflow pressures people might experience however, it is important that people identify pressure early and engage early as cashflow support is more effective when proactively structured than reactively requested. For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

Zimbabwe is hoping to one day regain its former title as the bread basket of southern Africa.津巴布韦希望有朝一日重新获得南部非洲粮食之乡的称号。52-year-old George Nyamakawa is one of millions of farmers authorities are training under a UN-backed program called Pfumvudza.52岁的乔治是数百万农民中的一员，政府正通过联合国支持的"Pfumvudza"计划对他们进行培训。Pfumvudza, which means early shoots in Shona, is a method of conservation agriculturePfumvudza在修纳语中意为“初生的嫩芽”，是一种保护性农业耕作方式，that focuses on small plots that retains water longer, and is more efficient than large scale plowing.专注于经营能更长时间保持水分的小块农田，相比大规模耕作更高效。It is easy to maintain. At the same time, it gives more food to the nation.它易于维护，同时还能为国家提供更多食物。The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has trained government officials on the method to help combat food shortages that have plagued Zimbabwe for over a decade.粮农组织(FAO)已就相关方法对政府官员进行培训，以帮助应对困扰津巴布韦十余年的粮食短缺问题。Zimbabwe's government has touted the program as a possible food security solution,津巴布韦政府已将该项目宣扬为一种可能的粮食安全解决方案，but the U.N. World Food Program knows it is still providing food aid to about eight million Zimbabweans--more than half the population.但联合国世界粮食计划署知道它仍在向大约800万津巴布韦人提供粮食援助，这一数字超过该国人口的一半。I think it will take a bit of more time to really work towards zero hunger and eradicate the problem all together.我认为要真正实现零饥饿并彻底解决这一问题还需要多花一点时间。Early shoots farming has its limitations, says Mandivamba Rukuni, a former agriculture economics professor who now directs a charity focused on farming innovation.前农业经济学教授曼迪万巴·鲁库尼表示，早期芽苗农业存在局限性。他目前负责一家专注于农业创新的慈善机构。The main one is it's very labor intensive. In Zimbabwe, like most other countries, labor is becoming more and more scarce, especially in rural areas, people are moving to urban areas.主要原因是它非常耗费人力。津巴布韦和其他大多数国家一样，劳动力正变得越来越稀缺，特别是在农村地区，人们都在往城市迁移。Farmers like Nyamakawa say are willing to do the extra work if the yields are higher and if they can count on authorities for support. 像尼亚马卡瓦这样的农民表示，如果产量更高且能指望当局提供支持，他们愿意多做些额外的工作。

The February 13 edition of the AgNet News Hour wrapped up a powerful week of policy conversations with Part Two of the in-depth interview featuring Edward Ring, Director of Energy and Water Policy at the California Policy Center. While earlier discussions focused heavily on water, this episode zeroed in on energy, oil production, electricity pricing, and California's economic future, all through the lens of common-sense reform. Ring tackled a growing concern in California: refinery closures and the long-term outlook for in-state oil production. As refineries begin shutting down or repurposing to import refined gasoline instead of processing California crude, Ring warned that fuel prices are likely to remain high, and regions like Kern County could suffer economically. He emphasized that California produces some of the cleanest oil in the world yet continues to import crude and refined fuel from overseas, outsourcing environmental impact rather than solving it. The broader issue, Ring explained, is regulatory instability. Oil producers and refiners are hesitant to invest in long-term infrastructure if policy shifts every election cycle. Without consistent leadership and predictable rules, companies won't commit capital to projects that require 10–20 years to pay off. The result? Reduced in-state production and increased dependence on imports. But Ring struck a far more optimistic tone when the conversation turned to electricity. He predicted California is heading toward an era of energy abundance, driven not by mandates, but by innovation. He pointed to emerging technologies like small modular nuclear reactors and decentralized energy generation, including data centers generating surplus power and potentially even electric vehicles serving as mobile battery banks. Ring questioned why natural gas power plants are only operating about 28 percent of the time instead of providing consistent baseload power. If allowed to compete freely, he argued, electricity costs could fall dramatically. Abundant, affordable energy would unlock solutions across the board, from desalination and groundwater recharge to advanced water filtration and inter-basin transfers. The conversation also circled back to forestry and environmental management. Ring noted that reducing logging from historic levels has contributed to catastrophic wildfires and overgrown forests. Strategic thinning and responsible land management, he said, could improve forest health and potentially increase runoff from Sierra watersheds, boosting water supply while reducing fire risk. Throughout the interview, Ring repeatedly emphasized collaboration over conflict. Farmers, urban water agencies, and policymakers must unite behind an “all-of-the-above” strategy for water and energy infrastructure. Instead of fighting over scarcity, California could build toward abundance. As hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill highlighted, the takeaway was simple: California has the resources, oil, water, land, and innovation, but needs leadership willing to prioritize practicality over politics. In Ring's words, “We really could do it all.”

President Donald J. Trump praised farmers for their hard work and contributions to the economy in a video message played at the World AG Expo opening day ceremony Tuesday in Tulare. The sudden and surprising airspace closure over El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday stemmed from the Pentagon's plans to test a laser for use in shooting down drones used by Mexican drug cartels, according to three people familiar with the situation who were granted anonymity to share sensitive details. The indictment, pursued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, led by Trump appointee Jeanine Pirro, is the latest example of the Justice Department’s targeting the president's perceived political opponents.
