The 2026 Farmers' Almanac predicted that Pittsburgh would see its first snow around December 1, and if the rest of their forecast pans out, then we're in for a "chill, snow, repeat" winter. As we break out our shovels and salt, we've been wondering how often our region actually deals with this kind of winter weather and when it's been bad enough to break records or shut down the city. Host Megan Harris and newsletter editor Francesca Dabecco are digging into the worst snowstorms and cold snaps in Pittsburgh history – and how we even started measuring this data in the first place. **This episode originally aired on January 21, 2025.

Clare farmers have taken an over €2 million share of a fund to support the welfare of suckler calves. Payments of €28 million have been commenced under the Beef Welfare Scheme 2025 with €2.34 million awarded in the county as a result of 1,878 successful applications. The scheme is intended to support farmers in meal feeding suckler calves before and after weaning, vaccinating against diseases and carrying out testing measures such as forage analysis or faecal egg count. Feakle-based chairperson of the Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Association Stephen Walsh says while the payments are welcome, it's disappointing that they're lower than promised.
In this episode, we talk with Jennifer Whitney, who is the owner, farmer, and co-founder of Natural Nook Farm in West Salem, Ohio. For nearly 20 years, Jennifer and her husband, Adam, have built a vibrant, faith-rooted homestead dedicated to natural living, self-sufficiency, and community.Jennifer shares how Natural Nook Farm has grown from a simple family property into a thriving small farm that produces handcrafted goat-milk soaps, naturally dyed and hand-spun angora rabbit and Jacob sheep wool products, and an incredible array of homegrown foods and medicinal herbs. From freeze-dried vegetables and garlic powder to elderberry teas, jellies, and herbal remedies, Jennifer and her husband are deeply committed to using what they grow and teaching others to do the same. Their mission extends far beyond their own land. Jennifer regularly speaks to Career Center students about homesteading skills, inspiring the next generation to grow, create, and build with intention. She and Adam also founded B.U.C.K. Adventures, a 501(c)(3) offering life-changing, all-expense-paid adaptive whitetail hunting experiences for individuals facing life-altering circumstances. Applications for the 2026 season are now open.Jennifer opens up about the lessons homesteading has taught her: the power of community, the importance of trying new things, even if they fail, and the value of starting small. She reminds us that you don't need a thousand acres to begin living more sustainably; you just need the willingness to take the first step.For Natural Nook Farm, the next steps are big ones. As they head into 2026, the Whitneys are expanding into horsedrawn carriage and wagon services, powered by their growing team of Percheron horses, an exciting new chapter shaped by the belief that change, while hard, can open doors you never expected.

“If a single camera setting can change how you see yourself, what else are you missing when you look at the world around you?” In this eye-opening episode of The JB and Sandy Show, JB, Sandy, and Tricia invite listeners to see the familiar in a whole new light—starting with the perfect selfie. Inspired by a viral Brendan Fraser moment, the hosts reveal a simple iPhone trick that transforms even the most “unphotogenic” among us. Tricia confesses, “I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me,” as the crew experiments with portrait mode, contour lighting, and the elusive timer feature, blending humor and humility in their quest for the ultimate self-portrait. But the episode quickly zooms out from the personal to the global. How dirty—or downright filthy—is Austin compared to the world's most notorious cities? The team dives into a surprising list of the filthiest places on earth, debating whether Budapest, Paris, or Las Vegas deserve their reputations. Tricia, a seasoned traveler, shares, “There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here. But I mean, no worse than…New York or New Orleans.” The conversation is peppered with stories of neighborhood clean-up heroes, the realities of urban life, and the quirks of city rankings. From there, the show takes a nostalgic and sometimes hilarious turn into schoolyard memories—when “getting a lick” from the principal was a real possibility—and the strange wisdom of the Farmer's Almanac. The hosts question the science (or lack thereof) behind long-range weather predictions, marveling at the Almanac's “secret formula” and the enduring power of folklore. “They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent. I'm going with Jim Spencer over the farmer man,” Sandy jokes, as the group debates whether to trust meteorologists or the bushiness of a squirrel's tail.Other highlights include:The world's cleanest cities and the surprising return of caning in Singapore.Animal instincts and what squirrels can teach us about preparing for winter.Tornado drills, childhood fears, and the unpredictability of Texas weather.With sharp wit, relatable stories, and a dash of curiosity, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond the surface—whether it's a selfie, a city, or a weather forecast. You'll laugh, you'll reminisce, and you might just see the world a little differently.Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments“I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me.”“There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here.”“They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent.

Fruit crops in Minnesota have gone dormant to survive the winter. That leaves the people who grow them to plan ahead. For organic fruit growers, that includes preparing for warmer winters, wetter springs and drier summers. Those are among the climate-driven trends affecting Minnesota. On Wednesday, the University of Minnesota Extension will begin the second year of a climate resilience program for fruit growers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Madeline Wimmer is organizing the program as an extension educator and president of the Organic Fruit Growers Association. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the role fruit crops play in the region's food system and how fruit farmers are adjusting for climate change.

Right-to-repair discussions in agriculture are tied to two federal bills — C-294 and C-244 — which address interoperability and the right to repair and allow provinces to develop their own related legislation.

Despite the tight margins, there are still people that want to enter production agriculture! Tay Fadtke with Marbleseed says it may not be large-scale farming at first, but it's a beginning. Marbleseed has created a Farmer-to-Farmer exchange program that allows those starters to be mentored by someone who's been in production agriculture for a while. Fadtke tells Pam Jahnke that it's a year-long program that addresses not only farming practices but also financing guidance. Wisconsin's got some powerful storms headed its way starting tonight. Stu Muck says that some areas of the state could pick up between 6-10 inches of new snow, making travel hazardous at best. No doubt many people are thinking about possible end-of-the-year donations. Kiley Allan helps educate potential donors about what to know when it comes to donating to animal rescue groups. Names and titles can be deceiving. She chats with Hannah Thompson-Weeman, executive director of the Animal Ag Alliance about some of the posers asking for your money, and the real agenda they're promoting. Ed Elfmann, Senior Vice President of Agriculture and Rural Banking Policy, with the American Bankers Association says there's been policy developments in Washington, D.C. that might encourage ag lenders to engage a little more aggressively on farm real estate loans. Stephanie Hoff talks with him about the ACRE Act which provides a 25% tax break to banks on the interest income they earn from new farm real estate loans. The primary goal is for banks to pass the savings on to farmers by offering lower interest rates on qualified loans. The ACRE Act is now permanent law after being included in the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," marking a significant legislative win for the ABA, which has worked on versions of this for three decades.

This week's Open Mic guest is Melissa Ackerman, CEO and Co-Founder of Planet Harvest. During the Covid pandemic, Ackerman worked with the Produce Alliance to provide channels for unharvested produce to those in need. Her work with the Farmers to Families Food Box Program led to a relationship with Ivanka Trump and the birth of Planet Harvest with a mission of incorporating sustainably sourced produce into the supply chain. Ackerman says almost a third of produce remains unharvested each year, meaning billions of dollars of losses for farmers and billions of pounds of food that could help feed hungry people.
Repeatedly low wheat prices are driving more farmers to turn to dairy. The Canterbury Regional Council says up to 25-thousand more dairy cows could be added to the region this year - with 32 new farms given the green light. Federated Farmers' confidence survey in July found 81 percent of dairy farmers surveyed were making a profit, compared to just 40 percent of arable. National Dairy Chair Karl Dean told Mike Hosking that dairy has a more consistent cash flow. He says arable farmers are the ones with the land to convert.

Farmers were in London again to protest about the re-imposition of inheritance tax on farming and business assets of more than £1 million, something announced last year. In her budget, the Chancellor made a change to transferring inheritance tax allowances between spouses, but farmers said it wasn't enough.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
The Year in Review rolls on with this second installment covering the penultimate Farmers Insurance Open and Rory McIlroy's win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Recording this episode well before its release, Brendan and Andy wonder how they'll be feeling on Friday morning as you're listening to this after a day of turkey and football. With the addition of TGL to the early-year golf calendar, these weeks have taken longer to review causing this episode to focus on just two events. PJ jumps in to handle the Farmers at Torrey Pines. Sure, Harris English won his fifth PGA Tour event, but the true highlight of this week was Billy Horschel's TGL debut. PJ recaps the Atlanta Drive's first-ever victory, as well as some important interviews from PGA of America leaders (not the one you're thinking of... yet). Andy then is tasked with presenting on Rory's win at one of golf's great venues, Pebble Beach. This week marked the return of both Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth from injury, as well as Bryson DeChambeau's content-filled trip to DLF in India. Part 3 of the 2025 Year in Review will be in your feeds for Monday morning!
Send us a textUseful beats clever, every time. We open with the hard truth about why most content and sales conversations miss: they're built for the creator, not the customer. From there we get tactical. Shannon and Cord map the journey from problem unaware to purchase-ready, sharing practical ways to qualify buyer knowledge, read heat, and design messages that fit each stage. If you've ever watched a good lead go cold after a feature dump, this conversation offers a cleaner path: serve first, sell second, and match your offer to what the buyer is ready to hear.Cord's background adds weight to the playbook. Raised on a working farm, sharpened in big-agency work in Chicago, and proven through scaling a national franchise footprint, he brings an operator's eye to marketing. We talk about turning seasonal spikes into steady pipelines, finding adjacent offers your customers already want, and raising lifetime value by simply being more useful. One standout example: shifting “spring service” outreach to fall, bundling pickup, tune-ups, and trickle chargers to smooth demand and increase trust. Small changes in timing and framing can unlock meaningful revenue without more noise.We also share where Shed Geek is headed next. Expect more topical, timely episodes that spotlight what matters now, live ad reads that keep promotions current, and sponsored newsletter segments that deliver value first. We're bringing more consumer-facing moments into a B2B space so manufacturers, RTO partners, and suppliers can speak directly to shed buyers' real questions. As AI reshapes search and discovery, teams that educate clearly and show outcomes will win the clicks—and the customers.If this conversation sparked an idea you can use this week, tap follow, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review.

Farmers across Tennessee are celebrating Thanksgiving in a variety of ways this week. Several shared their special traditions and what they're thankful for.
In the Weeds Bonus Episode: MSU Extension Madelyn Celovsky and 4H PC Hayley Wineland sit down with two (very) young 4H farmers, CJ Cockcroft (Springport) and Meredith Creguer (Unionville) to talk about how the 2025 growing season went for them as they prepped to show corn and sugar beets at fairs this summer.
36 per cent of people who live in rural areas or on islands in Scotland are considering leaving, blaming a range of things from healthcare and ferries to housing shortages. The majority who plan to stay praise the strong community spirit and quality of life. These are the findings of a new study from Scotland's Rural College. Researchers say rural and island areas of Scotland continue to face population decline and have looked at what happens in other countries - Canada, Sweden and Croatia - to see what might change the situation. Scientists are working on a project to use potato shaws, the green leaves from the top of the seed potato plant, which are currently discarded or ploughed back in. The University of Aberdeen believe they could be put to a more lucrative use: skin creams. All this week, we've been looking at dairy farming. Farmers are currently dealing with falling prices for milk as the world commodity price slumps. There is an exception to that. The prices organic farmers are getting have remained stable and and sales of organic milk products have increased slightly in the last 12 months.We visit a Lincolnshire farm with an uncertain future. Hannah Thorogood has spent 15 years building up an organic farm business with cattle, sheep and hens. She now runs the farm and farm shop with her twin daughters. However, Inkpot Farm, along with thousands of acres around it, is in the middle of a proposed site for a giant reservoir.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Rebecca Rooney

What if the idea that changes your life… starts with something as ordinary as being thirsty?In 2007, Travis Rosbach walked into a sporting goods store looking for a water bottle—and stumbled onto a problem no one had solved.
