Fall food plots greatly influence hunting success and wildlife attraction. Planting in August and September on the east coast can be sketchy, especially when late summer droughts can persist. This week on the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch is riding solo discussing a plan of action if disaster strikes in your fall food plots. Mitch shares personal experiences salvaging food plots that did not establish from drought stress in the past. Farming is always a gamble with the weather. After initially planting food plots, Mitch discusses when to scout your plots and how to help evaluate if alternative action is needed. He discusses what plant species work to salvage a food plot, when they can be planted, and how they can be planted. While the process of replanting may be repetitive, there are a few things to consider between species selection, weed management, and soil crusting which may occur from drought stress. All in all, doing something is better than nothing! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Earlier this year, Balchem and Progressive Dairy Magazine partnered to create a new webinar series, The Real Producer Exchange. In this podcast episode, Scott and Walt reflect on the first webinar in the series, where Clare Alderink from Brian Ryzebol Dairy was the featured producer. Walt gives an overview of the premise and setup of the webinar series along with a brief overview of Clare's background and current operation. Walt and Scott go on to share some excerpts from the webinar. (0:33)Clare talks about the dairy's experience incorporating high oleic soybeans into their rations, including pitfalls, growing pains and successes. (2:56)Ryzebol Dairy uses the AfiCollar feed efficiency tool. Clare talks about how they're using the data from the collars to make culling and breeding decisions, with an eye toward selecting more efficient cows to produce replacement heifers over time. (9:35)Clare also shares about things the dairy has tried that didn't work out so well, including the installation of solar. He notes that more research and discussion should have taken place among the dairy, the developer and the utility. (16:28)Scott and Walt invite listeners to the next Real Producer Exchange on Tuesday, August 26 at 11 am EST, featuring Rob Diepersloot, a seventh generation dairy farmer and founder of WonderCow Nutrition, a colostrum-based wellness company. Topics will include how the family started and manages a consumer colostrum product, and how it impacts the dairy; the many differences in management needs across three locations – two in California and one in Colorado; and the vital role sustainability plays in all aspects of both businesses.

Jonathan Sakraida says the challenge for Deere (DE) is their cut to guidance, since the market expected stronger cyclical performance. He also notes that interest rates hit Deere because a lot of its equipment purchases are financed, meaning farmers have less ability to buy. He considers Deere “the player” in AI and automation technology in the sector. “Once markets do recover, we think Deere is going to lead in that recovery.”======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this Product Spotlight, Tracy is joined by Matt Gosling, owner of Premium Ag, an agriculture consulting company based in Strathmore, Alberta. Matt shares why he calls KWS Hybrid Fall Rye his “favourite crop” and even the “best herbicide on the market.” From weed suppression to early harvest and agronomic consistency, Matt explains why hybrid rye stands out compared to other spring cereals. We cover: - Weed suppression & crop competition – why hybrid rye is such a strong tool for managing weeds. - Key steps for successful planting – what growers need to do in August/September to set themselves up for success, including field prep, residue management, seeding depth, and fertility planning. - Fitting hybrid rye into rotation – tips for first-time growers, stubble choice, volunteer management, and how hybrid rye can complement a canola system. - The June 21 advantage – how hybrid rye's reproduction timing avoids heat stress, improves grain fill, and contributes to stable yields in Western Canada. Whether you've grown hybrid rye before or you're curious about trying it for the first time, this episode is packed with practical agronomic insights you can take straight to the field. Thanks for tuning, Tracy

How Canton Apples and Frosty Twig Fused Two Brands into One In New York's “North of Upstate” region, in the town of Canton is the Canton Apples production building. It is now also home of a partnership shaping the local cider scene. Owner Joel Howie and cider maker Dan Gallagher live just a mile apart, and their skills mesh perfectly. Joel brings over a decade of experience growing apples, pressing sweet cider, and creating value-added products. Dan, a passionate fermenter, was ready to move beyond hobby scale when the two connected. Two Brands, One Vision Under Canton Apples & Cider, LLC, two product lines take shape: Canton Apples – approachable, consistent ciders for everyday enjoyment. Joel Howie Frosty Twig – small-batch, specialty ciders showcasing unique apples, fruits, and wild fermentation. Dan Gallagher Production takes place in a purpose-built facility designed for growth, with future plans for a taproom overlooking the orchard. Orchard Practices & Apple Diversity Between their combined orchards, Joel and Dan care for over 250 apple varieties — many planted by Bill McKentley of St. Lawrence Nurseries. These heritage and cold-hardy apples thrive in Zone 4, and every apple grown is put to use. When supplies run short, apples are sourced from other New York regions. Cider Making Approach Ciders range from wild-fermented pet-nats to cultured yeast ferments for consistency. Specialty ciders include Turkey Tree Wild Berry Pear cider Most ciders age 9–10 months before release, allowing flavors to develop naturally.

California Farming Voices: On today's AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni and co-host Josh McGill take listeners on a tour of California agriculture, from the dairies of Hanford to the John Deere showroom in Madera. The episode features two in-depth interviews—first with dairy farmer Case Anker, then with Stan Nelson of Midland Tractor—offering a ground-level view of farming challenges and innovations across the Golden State. Anker, a third-generation dairyman, shares how his family's operation balances cow comfort with fluctuating market conditions. From citrus peel feed to molasses treats, he explains that keeping cows cool and stress-free is just as critical as feed quality. While 2024 has brought fair milk and feed prices, Anker notes the dairy business demands resilience—farmers must be ready for both good and bad years, setting aside reserves for leaner times. He encourages consumers to support dairies by buying milk, cheese, pizza, and other dairy products, highlighting the pride and stewardship that comes with caring for animals and the land. The show then shifts north to Madera, where Nelson discusses Midland Tractor's 40-year history serving California growers. With service trucks covering territory from Bakersfield to Yuba City, Midland specializes in providing efficient, cutting-edge John Deere equipment for orchards, vineyards, and specialty crops. Nelson details the growing role of technology in agriculture, from precision spray systems to emerging autonomous tractor solutions. He emphasizes the industry's reliance on water, noting that reliable supply and storage are essential not only for farms but for the many allied businesses that support them. Throughout the episode, Papagni and McGill connect the dots between on-farm realities, supply chain impacts, and the broader ag economy. Whether it's tackling water scarcity, navigating trade tariffs, or adopting new equipment, the conversations underline agriculture's resilience and adaptability. Catch the full interviews with Case Anker and Stan Nelson at AgNetWest.com, and follow AgNet West for more California ag news and stories from the field.

Over more than 30 years, Featherstone Farm has grown their CSA and wholesaling to the point where they are now growing on 135 acres and have scaled up some of their major crops- for one example, they are storing 120 tons or more of carrots every year. These are distributed through their CSA and wholesaling. Though Featherstone has gotten a lot bigger over the years, they have remained committed to high agricultural standards with a Real Organic Project certification and high standards for the nearly 50 farm workers that they employ.Jack Hedin started the farm with his wife in 1994, and Abby Benson is the farm's production manager and part of the leadership team. In this interview with host Katie Kulla, Jack and Abby discuss overcoming the production and logistics challenges that saw the farm grow from a much smaller size to having as many as 1400 CSA members in some years. Farming is never without a challenge, though, and they discuss how changing weather patterns are resulting in prolonged wet periods that threaten many of their crops with increased disease pressure, and how they are planning for other challenges to keep the farm healthy into the future.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @featherstonefarmmnWebsite: featherstonefarm.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.

Whaling was, in the words of one scholar, “early capitalism unleashed on the high seas.” How did the U.S. come to dominate the whale market?

This episode is a wild ride from start to finish. We open with the ongoing WNBA drama that's been lighting up headlines, then dive into a conversation about high-speed police chases versus slow, off-road getaways—not real case breakdowns, just our take on which we'd rather attempt and the dangers of each. Things really kick into gear when we get into listener Q&A. We talk about why Bobby Lee sold his John Deere 4030, which leads to a deeper discussion about running reliable equipment that fits your operation—especially if you're a one-man show. From there, we talk about the pros and cons of working alone, and how that can affect the flow and efficiency of farm work. We also get into the best cattle strategies if you're starting out with just 10 acres, covering practical advice for beginners looking to make the most of small land. Later in the show, we close things out with a conversation around moral dilemmas, sparked by a discussion about OnlyFans and relationships—but we'll let you decide where that rabbit hole leads. It's another jam-packed, no-filter episode of Talk Dirt To Me—raw, real, and straight from the heart of rural America.
