Ep 274 | 1,000 years. That's how long it takes to build just one inch of Class One topsoil. Once it's gone, there's no getting it back. This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down Cal Poly's divisive proposal to develop its own farmland, why people are questioning who really grows the food at their farmers market, and how a sweet corn reel could have you reconsidering the standards we put on farmers. Plus, Brantley Gilbert's Dirty Money doc has them wondering: what happens if farmers go on strike — or the next generation can't afford to farm? What We Discovered This Week

What happens when you stop thinking about trees and agriculture as separate systems? In this episode, sixth-generation Australian farmer and engineer Michael Taylor explains what decades of planting trees have taught his family about farming, resilience and innovation. On their New England Tablelands farm, “Taylor's Run,” the Taylors began planting trees for a practical reason: shelter. But over generations, those trees have become part of a much bigger story about agroforestry, biodiversity, natural capital, and the complex interactions at work across a farming system. Michael discusses why farming, despite his engineering background, is one of the most complex systems to manage. He shares the lessons that have emerged over decades of tree planting, as well as the mistakes. And the unexpected benefits those experiences have revealed.The conversation also explores what happens when we try to put numbers around nature. Michael discusses how natural capital accounting and data can help demonstrate, in tangible figures, some of the things farmers already see and observe in their landscapes. Sarah and Michael also discuss: How trees can influence wind, moisture, ground cover and livestock protection Why some innovations only reveal their true value over decades How agroforestry can create value beyond timber What natural capital accounting can tell us about farm systems The limits of trying to simplify complex natural systems Useful Links: Valuing natural capital on Australian farms — Tenacious Ventures Shifting from climate measurement to risk mitigation — Tenacious Ventures Mark Wootton on carbon-neutral farming at Jigsaw Farms — Tenacious Ventures Natural Capital - Forico CSIRO Natural Capital Handbook Bambra Agroforestry Farm — practical Australian agroforestry resources Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) - Textile Exchange Australian Farmer of the Year Michael Taylor shows how farming diversity can lead to sustainability - ABC News For more information and resources, visit our website.

What happens when a farm family has ten children and the future of the farm needs to be decided? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we go inside one family's real-life succession planning journey with Nathan, the eldest of ten siblings, and Derryn Shrosbree of Farmstrong. With multiple family members, different ideas about the future, and the difficult realities of land, money, inheritance and who will continue farming, succession planning can become complicated quickly. Nathan shares what the process was actually like for his family including the challenges, the assumptions they had going in, and the conversations that needed to happen. Derryn brings his perspective as the advisor who helped guide the family through the process, explaining why succession conversations can be so difficult, how families can work through competing ideas of what is "fair," and why having an independent third party involved can make such a difference. Most importantly, this episode explores what can happen when a family chooses to have these conversations before a crisis forces them to. In This Episode • Nathan's perspective as the eldest of ten siblings • How many family members are currently farming and who wants to farm in the future • What prompted the family to begin talking about succession • The biggest challenges the family faced during the process • Concerns about creating tension by discussing money, land and inheritance • How the family created space for everyone's voice to be heard • Why "fair" doesn't always mean "equal" when it comes to succession • Assumptions family members had about their parents' and siblings' wishes • The role Derryn and Farmstrong played in guiding the family • What could have happened if the family had continued putting succession planning off • How having a plan has changed the way the family talks about the future • Advice for farming families who keep saying, "We'll deal with succession someday." Don't Wait Until You Have To For many farm families, succession planning stays on the "someday" list because the conversations feel uncomfortable, complicated or overwhelming. But avoiding the conversation doesn't make the decisions go away. It simply leaves them for another day, often when circumstances are much more difficult. As Nathan's story demonstrates, getting the process started can bring clarity to things that family members may have been assuming, wondering about or avoiding for years. And having the right advisor at the table can help families have conversations they might struggle to have on their own. If your family hasn't started talking about succession, don't wait for a crisis to force the conversation. Start with one conversation, get the right people around the table, and begin building a plan for the future.

Send us Fan MailOne word turns into a full-blown debate: “FARMING.” If that track made you laugh, squint at the lyrics, or immediately hit replay, you're going to love this Music Elixir conversation about Stray Kids' THIS & THAT. We're Sarashi and DJ Panic, and we try a new album review format built around pointed questions rather than a strict track-by-track checklist, so we can get closer to what the music is actually saying and why it hits different depending on who's listening. We talk about 3RACHA's production choices and whether they “outdo themselves” by expanding Stray Kids' sound without draining the energy. We dig into the title track messaging of “this and that” versus “this or that,” compare the impact of recent title tracks, and explain why some STAYs hear a bold refresh while others miss the harder edge. Along the way we highlight the Festival remix, the anthemic pull of “RUN IT,” and how a single vocal moment from Felix can redefine a hook. We also spend time on the softer, more nostalgic side of the album, including why “Back Then” feels like an end-of-summer memory and why “After You” proves Stray Kids can move into smoother vocals and acoustic textures while still sounding like themselves. Finally, we tackle the big question for any K-pop recommendation list: is THIS & THAT the album you'd use to introduce a brand-new listener to Stray Kids? If you enjoy Stray Kids analysis, K-pop album reviews, and honest fandom talk, subscribe, share this with a fellow STAY, and leave us a five-star rating and a comment with your take.

In this series, Going Deep, we'll be doing bite-sized explorations into the most interesting industries, businesses and economic events… in Australia and around the world. For today's episode, we're looking at AI… but not the version you're probably thinking of. We’re looking at the version that actually keeps the world fed. In particular, how a New Zealand startup built a two-billion-dollar business by putting a GPS collar on a cow - and why that might be one of the most important tech bets of the decade. In this episode, Brett and Justin explore why agriculture is one of the least digitised industries on earth despite feeding eight billion people, and whether the "AI in farming" dream is finally real. _ Note: This recording took place in February 2026.

In 1883 Joseph Moss, regarded as the wealthiest black man in Kimberley, stood before the newly formed Africander League in the diamond mining city. Africander spelled A F R I C A N D E R. It which was not what you'd imagine, the Africander League was made up of black and coloured men before whom Moss pronounced “We are Africans — we are not like Englishmen, who return to their own land. You are not here for a certain period to make money alone and then return to England to make yourselves great men…” Moss looked around the room at the faces of black and brown “…You are born here, your interest is here…” Because South Africa was not their place of birth, most Englishmen in Kimberley did not view it as their homeland. Within a generation, however, their descendants born on South African soil would be confronted with a historic question of identity: were they British, or were they South African? As Moss spoke he would have been aware of a similar sentiment amongst Dutch speaking South Africans, a rising Afrikaner nationalism. There were only two main differences between the Africanders and the Afrikaners One was a matter of spelling - the black League was spelled Africander and the Dutch Bond was spelt Afrikaner. Secondly, the black Africanders of Kimberley spoke English, while the white spoke Dutch as well the new taal of South Africa, Afrikaans. It is one of the overriding historical facts of the last 150 years that so much resonated between these people and yet, so much was going to end up segregating them. Both of these Afrikaners regarded Africa as their homeland, yet were feited to spend their days separated because of the perceived differences based on skin colour. IT was a surface difference and by the late 1880s, that difference was being reinforced by English politicians and millionaires in South Africa like Cecil John Rhodes. As the diamond and gold mines developed and the ownership crystalised around a handful of men, vast changes were taking place across southern Africa, the future was swiveling about on the fulcrum of politics. Farming interests dominated local settler politics, and in the Cape more scientific farming practices advanced rapidly with the establishment of the Department of Agriculture. There was another struggle on the go in the colony - between a progressive largely English-speaking modernising elite, and poorer, more conservative sheep farmers. From the mid-1880s onwards, Cape legislation was introduced making it compulsory to dip sheep in order to curb infection. This gave rise to the most wide-spread popular agitation among Dutch speaking Afrikaners — agitation which threatened to split the party representing their interests, the Afrikaner Bond. It further reinforced the ethnic solidarity between Afrikaners on isolated sheep farms of the northern Cape in particular. And living next door to these farmers were the mine owners of Kimberley, led by Cecil John Rhodes. Throughout the late 1880s, Cecil John Rhodes had maintained links with his British-based network of mine owners and financiers by sending storms of telegrams and letters, and maintained an excellent engagement with Cape politicians. By the time of gold discoveries, he had built a much closer working relationship with Afrikaners too, much to the surprise of most considering that he was an imperialist who loved Latin and Greek, and Afrikaans was not Greek to him. In February 1887 Cecil formed Goldfields of South Africa with Charles Rudd who is another to loom large in South African history. At first Goldfields spluttered along, with most of it's slim profits being invested into De Beers, and his new venture, the British South Africa Company. Rhodes began to schmooze Transvaal politicians which was quite difficult seeing that he couldn't speak Afrikaans, or Dutch, or in fact, any South African language.

Send us Fan MailA headline says the government wants to “advance regenerative agriculture” and suddenly every farmer has to decide what to celebrate, what to question, and what to refuse. I'm Noah Sanders, and I'm opening a new thread on a topic that sits right at the crossroads of faith, farming, and power: the proper role of civil government in agriculture, from grants and subsidies to food regulations and meat processing rules. We start where Christians have to start, with Scripture. I read Romans 13 in context and talk through what it means to honor governing authorities as something God institutes to restrain evil and keep order, while remembering that submission is not the same thing as obeying every command when it conflicts with God's word. That framework keeps us out of the easy ditches, whether that's “all government is bad” or “if our side wins, everything will be fixed.” From there, we zoom out to the big picture of sphere sovereignty: family, church, and state each have real responsibilities and real limits. When families and churches abdicate formation, charity, education, and community accountability, the state expands and local food systems get weaker. I also share why Christians should take local service seriously and how humility, careful listening, and learning from others can sharpen our thinking as we pursue God's ways in regenerative farming and public life. If this sparks questions for you, share the episode with a friend, subscribe so you don't miss the follow-ups, and leave a review so more farmers and families can find the conversation.Support the show

In this episode of Cattle Connect, Auburn researchers Drs. Mykel Taylor and Kelli Russell discuss findings from the 2025 Alabama Farm Poll, which gathered responses from nearly 400 producers across the state. The conversation covers farmer quality of life, financial pressures and household adaptations, succession planning and retirement concerns, and the optimism producers still hold for Alabama agriculture. 

Jen Psaki talks with David Plouffe, Barack Obama's 2008 campaign manager, about the balance of the congressional elections just a few months away from midterm elections, and the challenge Republicans face carrying the burden of Donald Trump's unpopularity when Trump's only campaign idea is to promote himself. Taken separately, Donald Trump's bad policies are problematic enough, his petulant tariffs, his foolhardy trade wars, his inexplicable war in Iran, his assault on immigrants, etc. But taken together they are a crippling burden hurting both supply and demand as well as resources and materials for operating farms and businesses. Jen Psaki discusses with Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democratic candidate for governor of Minnesota. Senator Mark Kelly joins to discuss the crisis Pete Hegseth has created in the American military.

The future of California agriculture may depend on solving some problems that farmers simply cannot solve on their own. In Part 2 of his conversation on the AgNet News Hour, Cannon Michael, president and CEO of Bowles Farming Company, discusses the need for a reliable agricultural workforce, the growing role of automation and his concerns about California's long-term water future. Labor remains one of the biggest issues. Michael said policymakers need to recognize that agriculture depends on workers willing to perform difficult jobs that many Americans simply aren't interested in doing. Rather than allowing the issue to continually become entangled in the larger immigration debate, he believes the country needs a reasonable legal pathway for people who want to work. "We need to find ways that people can...have the same opportunities that many of our ancestors came to the United States for," Michael said, while emphasizing the need to maintain border security and keep bad actors out. Technology is helping Bowles Farming Company respond to rising costs. The operation is already using AI-enabled sprayers that identify weeds, while also incorporating AI into office operations. Michael expects autonomous tractors and other technologies to play an increasingly important role. But technology can't replace everyone. Experienced workers can determine by sight which watermelon is ready to harvest or carefully pick a fresh-market tomato without damaging it—skills that remain difficult to automate. Perhaps Michael's greatest concern is water. With projects such as Sites Reservoir and Delta conveyance taking years to move forward, he worries California agriculture could lose productive farmland before adequate infrastructure is built. "We have to have water to do what we're doing," Michael said. "You can't just get water one year and then...not have water for two years." Despite those challenges, Michael isn't giving up on California agriculture. He believes farmers will continue adapting through technology and innovation, although agriculture's footprint could become smaller if current pressures continue. "None of us are the faint of heart," Michael said. "We're not giving up." Listen to Part 2 of the full interview with Cannon Michael on the AgNet News Hour.

Farming in California has never been simple, but for Cannon Michael of Bowles Farming Company, adapting to changing conditions has become a fundamental part of keeping a sixth-generation operation moving forward. In the latest AgNet News Hour, Michael discusses everything from extreme heat and limited water supplies to labor, regulation and the future of farming on California's West Side. Bowles Farming Company manages roughly 11,000 acres near Los Banos and across the western San Joaquin Valley. The operation is remarkably diverse, producing carrots, sweet corn, garlic, onions, watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydew, tomatoes, almonds, pistachios and other crops throughout the year. That diversity has become one way the farm continues adapting. Michael said Bowles expanded significantly into additional crops beginning around 2016, helping transform the operation into essentially a year-round business. But water remains one of the biggest challenges. Michael discussed the frustration of receiving only a 25 percent water allocation despite relatively full reservoirs, pointing to aging infrastructure and regulations that have made moving water through California increasingly difficult. "We keep delivering food to the markets," Michael said, noting that agriculture continues finding ways to remain productive despite the challenges. Michael also addressed another concern facing California agriculture: whether the next generation will still see farming as a worthwhile future. He said increasing costs and regulatory pressure can discourage younger family members from returning to agricultural businesses that previous generations worked to build. Still, Bowles Farming Company continues investing in its future. Michael highlighted drip irrigation, solar energy and conservation efforts, including 650 acres the family placed into a permanent federal easement for wetland habitat along the Pacific Flyway. The conversation offers a look inside one of the West Side's major farming operations—and the constant balancing act required to grow food in California today. Listen to Part 1 of the full interview with Cannon Michael on the AgNet News Hour.

What does the military teach us about resilience, and what can farmers learn from those lessons? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with fourth generation rancher and Kansas Army National Guard officer John Sachse to explore the powerful connection between military service, farming, leadership and resilience. John has experienced the pressures of agriculture firsthand, while his military experience has given him another perspective on adversity, stress, discipline and mental toughness. Those experiences ultimately led him to develop his work around resiliency and write his e-book, Built in the Dirt: The Resiliency Playbook. John shares how the challenges we face can shape us, why resilience is about more than simply "toughing it out," and how farmers can develop the mindset and habits needed to navigate difficult seasons, both on the farm and in life.

But farmers still have stories to tell — six farmers from around the state will tell theirs at the Minneapolis Central Library Tuesday evening. The event is called “Celebrating Minnesota's Farmers: A Love Story.” It's part of a storytelling series by the global non-profit, Food Tank.

From greenhouse transplants to international agriculture, Jenna shares how diversification, leadership, and storytelling are making an impact on and off the farm.

A century of conventional farming has left our planet with sick soil, accelerating the interlinked crises of food security, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and climate change. In his new book, ReGen: A New Future for Farming, Food, and Health, David R. Montgomery lays out a practical and productive vision for recovering soil health and safeguarding the future of food. The answer: soil-building regenerative farming. In exploring this much-needed turning point for agriculture, Montgomery marshals more than a decade of research, interviewing innovative farmers and seeing firsthand how they restored degraded farms around the world. Breaking down common myths around conventional and organic farming, animal agriculture, and plant-based diets, the book frames ten policy recommendations for sustainably nourishing the world. As Montgomery shows, reducing tillage, laying off synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, growing a diversity of crops, and getting livestock back on the land can reverse centuries of soil degradation and harvest nutrient-dense food. Succinct, accessible, and urgent, ReGen points the way to a healthier, more resilient world. David R. Montgomery is a professor at the University of Washington and a MacArthur Fellow. He is the author and coauthor of several previous books about soil and agriculture, including Dirt, Growing a Revolution, and What Your Food Ate.

Women are becoming increasingly visible across agriculture, from the farm and the boardroom to policy, technology and global agribusiness. In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak welcomes back Svitlana Synkovska, Portfolio Director for Women in Agribusiness, for a conversation about the changing role of women in agriculture and what attendees can expect from the 15th anniversary Women in Agribusiness Summit in New Orleans.Svitlana shares how the Summit has evolved over the past 15 years while maintaining its unique combination of industry intelligence, professional development and meaningful networking. This year's location is especially significant because the first Women in Agribusiness Summit was held in New Orleans. Beyond the city's culture and atmosphere, New Orleans provides a direct connection to global agriculture through its role as a major gateway for U.S. agricultural exports. Attendees will even have an opportunity to tour a port transshipment facility and see how American commodities move from farms to customers around the world.The conversation also explores the continued rise of women in agriculture and leadership. Chrissy and Svitlana discuss women's growing educational attainment and representation in government and agribusiness, as well as how much the industry has changed over the past two decades. Svitlana shares her experience of once frequently being the only woman speaking at international agriculture conferences and how dramatically female representation has grown since then.They also look at what the next generation of women can bring to agriculture, the importance of education and confidence, and the Women in Agribusiness student scholarship program. Svitlana explains why adaptability may be one of the most important leadership skills in an era of AI and rapid technological change and why agriculture continues to offer tremendous opportunities for young professionals.The 2026 Summit will combine its popular executive leadership and female farmer panels with new programming around AI, consumer and food trends, mental health and stress management, along with experiences unique to New Orleans. The Summit will also recognize the International Year of the Woman Farmer with a new award developed in collaboration with the American Farm Bureau Federation to recognize an outstanding U.S. female farmer.With decision-makers representing the entire agricultural value chain gathering in one place, Svitlana explains why this year's anniversary Summit is about much more than celebrating 15 years. It's an opportunity to build relationships, conduct business, learn from other leaders and help shape the next chapter for women in agriculture.Register for the Women in Agribusiness Summit HERE.Send us Fan MailSchedule a demo today at ecorobotix.com Introducing FarmNewsDaily.com - your source for agriculture news!Subscribe to North American Ag at https://northamericanag.com
