In this episode we sit down with Annessa Good Hassard of Peak Heritage Consulting Ltd and Merle Good, agricultural consultant (retired), to talk about the real challenges farm families face when it comes to understanding their numbers and making confident decisions around money land and equipment.

What You Will Hear in This Episode • Where farmers are struggling most when it comes to understanding their numbers • Why money can be such a stressful topic on the farm • What farmers are often missing, not because they are doing things wrong, but because they were never given clear tools • Common mistakes that create long term pressure around money, land purchases, and equipment decisions • Why shared language around numbers matters so much in multi generation operations • How Annessa's return to the family farm as a successor reshaped how they viewed their operation • What makes Merle Good's ratios and formulas practical, relevant, and farm tested • What the Dollars and Dirt Series actually helps farmers do • A walkthrough of what is included in the Dollars and Dirt COMPLETE Series and how the modules fit together • How the framework acts as a financial check engine light • Program details including delivery timing and learning options • Final words of wisdom for farm families feeling overwhelmed but ready for clarity If this conversation resonated with you, take the next step and learn more about the Dollars and Dirt Series.

Pearse Kelly, Teagasc Head of Drystock, is on this week's Beef Edge podcast to reflect on beef supply, market and beef prices in 2025 and how to plan for 2026.  Bord Bia had forecast the national kill would be back 70,000-90,000 in 2025 but that has been closer to 200,000. This is likely to remain similar in 2026.  Pearse's long term outlook is positive but he says that farmers should complete a profit monitor in 2025 to assess performance and costs prior to 2026.  Rupert Claxton also spoke at this year's Beef Conference giving a broad global view of beef with further details here: https://teagasc.ie/publications/national-beef-conference-2025/ You can also watch the recent beef webinar at:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntJD2zfLVmM  For more episodes from the Beef Edge podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/thebeefedge Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com 

Eat or Be Eaten by Dr Rick Bein Rickbein.com The issue of food can be interpreted in two ways. As a geographical agriculturist, I have focused on food production around the world, but also on being faced with predatory action. These stories relate such events in my life. Some are humorous and some are educational. my Peace Corps experience provided the spark that led to this series of adventures and observations. Farming strategies vary tremendously around the world, from my home farm in Colorado to those in Brazil, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Mozambique. The picture depicts a Sudanese feast, where various food items are laid on an outstretched tablecloth on the ground to serve men dressed in formal attire. Only the men are eating and when they are sated the women come to eat what is left over. Notice the only the right hands are touching the food. The left hand is considered foul and would contaminate the food.

The Ruminant lives!...mainly to cross-post episodes of Jordan's other show, Farming in British Columbia, when they're of a broader appeal. Herein: the Farming in British Columbia 2025 Christmas Special!

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Worrell of Fallen Pine Oyster Farm to talk about what it really takes to grow Maryland's saltiest oyster—and why clean, healthy water is the ultimate brag. We dig into what makes an oyster salty, how salinity, location, and water quality shape flavor, and why oysters are one of the clearest indicators of a healthy Chesapeake Bay. Dan shares what goes into buying an oyster farm, the reality of transitioning into a fixer-upper aquaculture operation, and the challenges (and rewards) of building something sustainable on the water. We also get into the science and business side of oysters—water quality monitoring, the Chesapeake Bay report, and the very real threats oyster farmers face, including diseases like MSX and Vibrio. Dan breaks down how farmers manage risk while still delivering a safe, high-quality product. Beyond the farm, we talk about selling oysters at festivals versus restaurants, what happens when you crack open a shell and find a pea crab, and how different markets shape the way oysters are grown, graded, and sold. This conversation is part oyster nerd-out, part business lesson, and part love letter to clean water—because when it comes to oysters, the water tells the truth.   https://www.fallenpineoyster.com/  

Liquid Lunch with The RWA: Christmas Tree Farming by WNHH Community Radio

On this Christmas Eve “Best Of” episode of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni, the “Ag Meter”. sits down with Nick Foglio of Foglio Commodities for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on the real challenges facing agriculture today. Foglio breaks down weak hay and alfalfa markets, low milk prices, lost export demand, and the tough financial decisions farmers must make to stay afloat. The discussion also dives into water uncertainty, land conversion, generational farming pressures, and why automation must deliver immediate returns to work for family farms. One of the most eye-opening segments focuses on the freight crisis, where ultra-low trucking rates, unsafe licensing practices, and underregulated operators are driving down margins and raising serious safety concerns across agriculture. This episode delivers unfiltered insight from someone operating on both the farming and transportation sides of the industry. A must-listen for growers, dairymen, and anyone who wants to understand what's really shaping the future of agriculture.

Farmers are used to the idea of fertilizing with manure, however one species' output is usually not used: our own. This is despite the fact that effluent from water treatment is a large contributor to excess nitrogen in our waterways and the nutrient pollution that's responsible for the “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico. If we could recapture those nutrients, not only could it give farmers a cheap, readily-available source of fertility, but it would reduce the amount of pollution going into our waterways.Our three guests this week just finished a SARE grant project looking at using urine as a fertilizer. Tatiana Schreiber and Abe Noe-Hays are from the Rich Earth Institute, and Deborah Aller is at Cornell University, and on this week's podcast they tell us what they learned looking at the soil health impacts and farmer perspectives on using various forms of human waste and control treatments for fertilizer. They tell us what products they used, how farmers can make use of them, and how this technology might be scaled up in the future. Connect With Guest:Website: richearthinstitute.orgInstagram: @peecyclers Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Since 1972 Ohio Earth Food has been the go-to source for soil testing, consulting as well as the highest performing and most cost effective granular and liquid fertilizers, seed starting soils, foliar sprays and disease and insect controls.

  Yuma, Arizona plays a critical role in feeding the United States, supplying much of the nation's leafy greens during the winter months. But farming at the border comes with unique challenges. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Cory Mellon, Chief Operating Officer of his family's farm, to discuss the realities of agriculture in a border community. Cory explains how the H-2A visa program supports legal farm labor, why generational workers are essential to the industry, and what happens when that system breaks down. Cory also shares firsthand insight into the economic impact of nonworkers moving through active fields, the food-safety risks farmers face when fields are disrupted, and how a federal government shutdown delayed worker processing—threatening the harvest during a critical picking season. This conversation highlights the connection between secure borders, legal labor, and America's food supply, and why getting immigration policy right matters far beyond the border.

In an ag world driven by automation, efficiency metrics, and shiny new equipment, Tristan Swartz is unapologetically doing things differently — and calling it Doing It Wrong Dairy.Tristan is a sixth-generation dairy producer in Wisconsin who believes real farming doesn't need filters, polish, or permission. Farming on his own for more than a decade, Tristan relies heavily on 30+ year-old equipment, practices old-school animal care, and openly questions whether “modern” always means “better.”In this episode, Tristan shares:Growing up in a multi-species livestock operation and starting farm work at age fourWhy his family exited the dairy industry in the 1990s — and why he came backLeaving home at 17 to work on a custom wheat harvest crew and becoming a crew leader at 18His return to Wisconsin and building a farm on his own termsWhy he leaves calves with their mothers and how it impacts herd health and behaviorMilking alternative breeds like Gyr cows and experimenting outside the mainstreamMaintaining a “retirement pasture” for cows he refuses to sell simply because production dropsWhy authenticity — not perfection — is what connects people to agricultureWe also dig into the explosive growth of Doing It Wrong Dairy on social media, where Tristan's honest, sometimes controversial content has resonated with hundreds of thousands of viewers who want to see the real side of farming — not a highlight reel.
