Podcasts about farming

Judith McGeary, founder of the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA), joins us to explain how one massive piece of legislation quietly shapes nearly every aspect of our food system—from the seeds farmers plant to the food that ends up on our plates. She breaks down the history of the Farm Bill, how it evolved from supporting soil conservation and family farms to favoring consolidation and industrial agriculture, and why consumers should pay attention. Judith also discusses the controversial effort to grant pesticide manufacturers liability protection, the challenges facing regenerative farmers, the loss of seed diversity, and the regulatory barriers that make it difficult for local food producers to thrive. Along the way, she offers practical solutions for rebuilding resilient local food systems and explains why meaningful change often begins with ordinary citizens making a phone call to their elected representatives. Whether you're concerned about food quality, farmer livelihoods, regenerative agriculture, or the future of America's food supply, this conversation offers an eye-opening look at the policies shaping our agricultural landscape—and what each of us can do to help create a healthier future.

This week on Talk Dirt To Me, we're answering your questions, taking our lumps, and diving headfirst into some of agriculture's biggest debates. One listener absolutely roasts us before asking the question that sparked one of our favorite discussions: Is ethanol actually a good thing? As a row crop farmer, Logan shares his honest perspective on ethanol, corn demand, consumer choice, and whether the benefits are as clear-cut as many people claim. We also tackle a social media comment suggesting the United States should simply eliminate row crop farming. What would actually happen if we stopped growing corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton? We break down the real-world consequences, from the economic impact and millions of jobs tied to agriculture to livestock feed, land use, food production, and what it would mean for American farmers and consumers. As always, we've got plenty of listener Q&A covering topics from around the farm, plus another listener-submitted Top Two, where we tell the stories of the biggest times our parents caught us being bad as kids. Let's just say...we earned a few whoopings. We wrap things up with our Made in the USA Product of the Week featuring Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap, one of our favorite American-made products.

This is part five of a ten-part podcast series documenting the European Industrial Hemp Association's 23rd Annual Conference in Poznan, Poland, at the Institute of Fiber Plants and Medicinal Medicine, June 10-12. Colin Steddy is a grassroots farmer from Western Australia who got into hemp in 2005 after selling his farm following two droughts and a divorce. He's a no-till advocate, a carbon thinker and someone who speaks from the heart about soil biology and systems thinking. "Everything affects something else. So you gotta understand when you make one decision what around it gets affected because it's not a single thing that makes things work," Steddy said. Steddy grew up on a sheep farm south of Perth, learned to shear, and spent decades in cropping and controlled traffic farming. He's been knocked down three times by deals worth five million dollars or more that fell through — each time he picked himself up. At 42, he lost his farm and had to start over. Hemp gave him that second chance. What draws Steddy to the Poznań conference isn't theory. It's reality. "They're not talking about s*** and they're not talking about the warm and fuzzies, they're talking about the things that happen and the obstacles they're faced," he said. He points to a Ukrainian hemp processor whose buildings were bombed, who lost power for three months, but kept moving forward. Real people doing real things — not scientists studying irrelevant data. On carbon credits, Steddy is clear: they're icing on the cake, not the foundation. Carbon credit schemes are political and can disappear overnight. The real work is building soil organic matter through farming practices you should be doing anyway. His advice to farmers: find a partner who covers baseline costs and shares credit returns. Get your baseline established early, before you start your regenerative journey, so you capture the financial benefit. And remember biochar isn't just a home for soil biology — it's a condominium. But you have to stock it with food: minerals, nutrients and plants. Everything affects something else.

As planting and growing season continues across the country, stewardship remains one of the most important responsibilities for growers and applicators. In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, host Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Mike Aerts, Vice President of Science and Regulatory Affairs at the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, to discuss the 2026 BeSure! Campaign and the role stewardship plays in protecting pollinators, wildlife, water quality, and agricultural productivity.Mike explains how the BeSure! Campaign serves as a decision-support resource that encourages growers and applicators to follow best management practices while emphasizing a simple but critical message: read and follow the label. He discusses the extensive scientific research behind pesticide labels and why the phrase "the label is the law" remains one of the most important principles in crop protection.The conversation explores the essential role pollinators play in agriculture, including their contribution to approximately one-third of the food we consume and more than 75% of the world's flowering plants. Mike also addresses common misconceptions surrounding pollinator health and explains how factors such as pests, diseases, habitat loss, weather events, and invasive species often have a greater impact on bee populations than many people realize.Listeners will learn about stewardship practices for treated seed and foliar applications, the importance of proper equipment calibration, spray drift management, and the growing use of technology to improve application accuracy. Mike also shares insights into Florida's Managed Pollinator Protection Plan (MP3), a voluntary program that helps growers and beekeepers communicate effectively to protect pollinators while maintaining crop production.The discussion also highlights a new concern for beekeepers across the United States—the invasive yellow-legged hornet—which has recently been detected in the Southeast and poses a significant threat to honey bee populations.Throughout the episode, Mike emphasizes that food security depends on responsible crop protection practices and collaboration among growers, applicators, beekeepers, registrants, and regulators. The result is a practical conversation about how agriculture continues to improve stewardship while producing the food, fiber, and specialty crops consumers depend on every day.To learn more about the BeSure!

Elo Life Systems: https://elolife.com/Super excited to bring on Matt DiLeo of ELO Life Systems on today's episode. Some of you may remember that ELO Life CEO Todd Rands was a part of 412 of this podcast two years ago. I've been fascinated by their work ever since to bring to the market what they call molecular farming. Matt does a great job of explaining the concept and how this shifts the value in some ways from food processors back to the farm by allowing farmers to grow desirable healthy ingredients inside of the commodity crops they already grow. It's kinda mind blowing. Some background on Matt: Dr. Matt DiLeo serves as the vice president of research & development at Elo Life Systems. In his role, Matt applies agricultural OMICs and precision breeding technologies to advance Elo's product pipeline. Prior to joining Elo, Matt held scientific leadership roles at Novozymes and KeyGene USA. Matt received his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology from UC Davis and completed a postdoc at the Boyce Thompson Institute, where he studied the impact of silencing regulatory genes on the nutritional composition of the tomato fruit metabolome.Matt seems to have a knack for being on the cutting edge of ag science and technology and has shown this in a variety of areas throughout his career.

Welcome back to Barn Talk! In today's episode, the conversation focused on the incredible journey of Grey Zabel, who demonstrates that you can make it to the absolute peak of professional sports while remaining a farm kid at heart. From growing up in Pierre, South Dakota as a fifth-generation farmer to his college football career at North Dakota State and being picked 18th overall by the Seattle Seahawks, Grey's story is both inspiring and down-to-earth. A key theme that emerged was the importance of faith, family, farming, and football, which Grey describes as the four pillars of his life. The discussion explored the challenges and triumphs of his rookie NFL season—including a Super Bowl win—his dedication to running Northland Farms, and the decision to invest in land rather than adopt a flashy lifestyle. Several points were raised, including the parallels between the hard work required in farming and the NFL, the pressures faced by young people in agriculture, and the enduring power of rural values. Whether you are a fan of football, farming, or stories of perseverance, you won't want to miss this episode packed with heart and grit.

With the surname “Kentish,” Nic carries his family's potato growing legacy. While it's one of pride, the journey has certainly not been easy.  After returning to the family farm in South Australia, he found himself confronting one of the biggest challenges many farming families face: how to build a profitable, sustainable business in an increasingly volatile industry. In this episode, Nic Kentish unpacks his lessons learned from decades in farming, including a difficult transition into organic potato production that ultimately left the business carrying significant debt. Nic speaks candidly about the financial and emotional pressure that comes with succession, the realities of running high-risk agricultural enterprises, and why understanding your gross margins matters just as much as understanding your soils. Now an educator with RCS's Grazing for Profit program, Nic explains why he believes agriculture must be viewed as a connected system: where soil health, profitability, relationships, livestock management, and technology are all intertwined. The conversation explores regenerative agriculture, biological farming, and why Nic prefers to focus less on labels and more on outcomes. Sarah and Nic discuss: Why “great technology” still has to solve real on-farm problems The lessons Nic learned from transitioning to organic farming Gross margins, debt, and the hidden pressures of succession Why soil health and profitability are deeply connected The role of observation and intuition alongside agtech Why family relationships are often the biggest risk, or strength, in farming businesses How farmers can build resilience in increasingly variable conditions     Useful Links: The Warble Podcast | RCS Change Agent: The maverick agronomist who changed grazing methods - ABC News Optiweigh Low Stress Stock Handling - Farmsafe Arden Andersen - Soil Learning Center Halter's $2 billion question, with founder Craig Piggott Regen Ag Series Australian Rural Leadership Foundation For more information and resources, visit our website.  The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

A group of local historians are hard at work unearthing and preserving the rich histories of Madison's neighborhoods. Using maps and oral histories, Make History Madison is a crowd-sourced, place-based public history initiative that encourages people of all ages to contribute photos, research, testimonials, and observations about the places in Madison that matter to them. On today's show, host Douglas Haynes speaks with four guests involved in the project, Martín Alvarado, James Levy, Angela Richardson, and John Wedge. As much as their work involves celebrating Madison's vibrant history, they also tell the painful histories of dispossession and displacement that are part of our shared past. Alvarado discusses the displacement of African Americans from the Greenbush neighborhood to Madison's South Side, and Richardson describes the experience of learning about the Shenk-Atwood neighborhood as a layer cake. You can learn about your building or block using archival tools at the Madison Public Library and their Living History collections. Alvarado says that small newspapers are a treasure trove of our ancestors' oversharing. Richardson describes the process as “collective remembering” and this work is an “antidote” to the Trump Administration's “airbrushed history,” says Wedge. As the contributions of Black, LGBTQ, and Indigenous peoples have been scrubbed from federal websites, the work of local historians to preserve the past is more important than ever. Ultimately, Make History Madison isn't just about documenting the past, but about using the past to engage with the present and the future, says Levy.  On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Make History Madison presents Music Venues We Have Loved at The High Noon Saloon in association with WORT 89.9 FM and Madison Public Library. Martín Alvarado is a Community Engagement Librarian at the Madison Public Library and host of Global Revolutions on WORT 89.9 FM. James Levy is the founder and Executive Director of the Race and Place Coalition and the Whose Land? public history project. A scholar trained in African American history and former Associate Professor of History at UW-Whitewater, his projects employ oral history and collaborative community research to foster public dialogue about the connections between race and geography. Dr. Levy's current book project, forthcoming from the University of Wisconsin Press, is titled The Color of Farming in the Heartland: A History of Land and Race in Wisconsin since 1800. Angela Richardson is an artist, educator, and passionate “hyperlocal historian.” Her primary research focuses on the Schenk-Atwood neighborhood and Madison’s near east side. John Wedge is a historian, labor advocate, and public arts organizer. Originally from London, he has a Ph.D. in American History from the University of Illinois. He is Executive Director for WEAC Region 6, and singer, guitarist, and co-founder of northern soul/rock band The Periodicals. Prior to Whoseland.org and Make History Madison, he co-produced The Greatest War: World War I, Wisconsin, and Why it Still Matters. Featured image of the Make History Madison logo.

With increasing pressure on dairy farms to reduce nitrogen inputs whilst maintaining profitability, technologies such as white clover are attracting renewed interest.  But how well does clover perform on heavier type soils that are common across the Border, Midlands and Western region, and how can farmers reduce fertiliser and feed nitrogen inputs without compromising grass growth or milk production? To help answer those questions, James Dunne is joined by Helena Walsh, PhD student with Teagasc, who has been leading a farm systems study at Ballyhaise Agricultural College examining the role of white clover in low nitrogen input grazing systems.  Helena discusses the establishment and performance of clover swards, the impact on pasture and animal production, nitrogen use efficiency, and the practical lessons farmers can take from this work. 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

The Royal Highland Show hopes to welcome 200,000 visitors across four days. In this programme we report from the show, hearing farmers' views on the Scottish Government's plan for a supermarket price cap on essential food items, speaking to the new Cabinet Secretary for Climate Action and Rural Affairs and hearing about the hardest job on the showground... ice cream tasting!Meanwhile in the south west of England, we hear about an emergency by-law that's been passed in Cornwall, to restrict the number of boats coming in to fish for octopus. The ongoing octopus bloom has been described as a 'gold rush' as huge sums are being made - two weeks ago Brixham fish market experienced a record catch of 103 tonnes, worth £400,000. But the octopus are also causing problems - eating crab and lobster and devastating that industry locally.Presented by Caz Graham Produced by Heather Simons

Family Tree Farms Vice President Daniel Jackson says California agriculture faces significant challenges from water policy uncertainty, but he remains optimistic about the future of farming and the next generation of growers. During the second part of a recent AgNet News Hour interview, Jackson discussed water regulations, labor concerns, blueberry production, and the importance of maintaining California's agricultural legacy. Jackson, whose family has farmed in California since the 1930s, said one of the biggest issues facing growers today is uncertainty surrounding groundwater regulations under California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). According to Jackson, constantly changing rules create difficulties for farmers making long-term investments in permanent crops such as peaches, almonds, and other tree fruits. “Farmers are not confident,” Jackson said, explaining that growers often do not know what water restrictions they may face several years into the future after making substantial investments in orchards and other perennial crops. He noted that reliable water supplies remain essential for maintaining productive farmland and supporting rural economies throughout California. Jackson emphasized that water infrastructure and storage projects could provide long-term benefits not only for agriculture but also for communities and environmental needs. Despite the challenges, Jackson remains committed to farming in California. He said Family Tree Farms continues to invest in the state while also expanding production into other regions and countries to maintain year-round supplies of fresh produce. Blueberries have become a major component of that strategy. Family Tree Farms now participates in blueberry production and marketing programs across multiple regions, allowing consumers to access fresh blueberries throughout the year. Jackson said demand continues to grow as consumers increasingly recognize the fruit's health benefits. “People need them,” Jackson said while discussing the popularity of blueberries and their reputation as a healthy snack option. California's blueberry season is expected to conclude earlier than normal this year due to unusually warm spring weather that accelerated crop development across many fruit-producing regions. Jackson said growers throughout the industry are seeing earlier harvest timing in numerous commodities, including stone fruit and blueberries. As for Family Tree Farms' stone fruit season, Jackson expects harvests to wrap up sooner than usual. He encouraged consumers to take advantage of peak-season fruit while supplies remain plentiful. Apricots, peaches, nectarines, and other specialty fruits continue to be available through the company's retail and wholesale channels. Beyond crop production, Jackson stressed the importance of encouraging future generations to remain involved in agriculture. He expressed concern that regulatory burdens and uncertainty may discourage young people from entering farming but remains hopeful that California agriculture can continue thriving with strong leadership and common-sense policies. Throughout the conversation, Jackson repeatedly emphasized the critical role farmers play in producing food for consumers and supporting local communities. He noted that agriculture remains one of California's foundational industries and said growers will continue adapting to challenges while working to provide safe, nutritious food. “We want to continue doing what we have a passion for doing,” Jackson said. “It's great to see somebody smile when they eat a big juicy apricot or a peach.”

These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today's cunning farmers.This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility. Todd draws on Western esotericism, Taoist principles, alchemy, Kabbalah, Reiki, and shamanism to show how to use practical, nature-based magic, just like our ancestors, for more abundant gardening and farming. He shows how to work with land spirits, including meeting the place spirit of your land—the genius loci. He also explores working with Earth and Moon energies, plant magic and forest deities, and ritual.

A hundred and thirty thousand (yes, $130,000) in farm revenue sounds great until you see what stays. Chef Mikey Russo took home $30,000 from his farm last year. He paid $40,000 in labor. The rest went to reinvestment: compost, tools, YouTube equipment, coaching, infrastructure. That's not a failure. That's a deliberate strategy.  Watch the video on our YouTube Channel!  Interested in watching the series? Hop on over to our YouTube Channel!   Subscribe for more content on sustainable farming, market farming tips, and business insights!   Get market farming tools, seeds, and supplies at Modern Grower.

For this week's Grass10 grazing management update, John Maher says concentrate input should be reduced on farms where grass supply is adequate (cover/LU >160 kg DM/LU).  A third of farms are over target and have a cover/LU >190 kg DM/ha. This will negatively impact:-       Grass quality - negative impact on animal performance-       Clean out of swards - feed wastage-       Grass recovery and subsequent quality June is challenging for grass quality as we are now in the main heading phase for perennial ryegrass.  Grass quality is critical for animal performance, particularly as young stock grass intake increases.  Walk the farm every 4-5 days to inform decision making. Plus the featured farmer is William Blackburn from Kilworth,Co.

Something that can be a challenge in rural areas.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits down with Owner-Operator Felipe Sanchez and his dispatcher, Sam Plafcan, to explore what makes a strong driver–dispatcher relationship at Oakley Trucking. Felipe shares his journey from growing up in Panama to moving to New York and Atlanta, working 15 years in warehouses, and finally becoming an owner-operator during the pandemic. Sam discusses his journey from farming and hauling grain to dispatch, including learning equipment in the shop and managing 30–40 different driver personalities. Together, they tackle real-world challenges such as Atlanta traffic, short runs, tight customer hours, and planning loads to meet weekly mileage goals. The key takeaways are the importance of communication, mutual respect, and trust in the process: drivers must speak up without being disrespectful, dispatch has to understand what happens on the road, and both sides share responsibility in turning “bad days” into strong weeks. The episode also touches on Felipe's family life, his pride in his Panamanian roots, and why he feels Oakley's culture, organization, and customer service help motivated owner operators succeed.

Chad promised a Wisconsin turkey hunt recap, and here it is. Jeff Tarsi from Nutrien Ag Solutions came to camp, not just as a sponsor but as a hunter. Joel Kleefisch had boots on the ground, Chef Ellie was throwing down in camp (hear all about that in our Eat Wild Series), Jay Wando from Wando's Bar in Madison joined the crew, and the Dodgers-Brewers game at American Family Field was in the mix, too. But this episode is about the hunt. Running and gunning, finding birds, getting permission, calling them in close. Chad's favorite. No blinds, no ambushing, just calling, patience, and reading the bird. A tom in full strut at close range, tail fanned out, looking right at them. Jeff Tarsi squeezed the trigger. Federal TSS out of a Benelli, Rob Roberts R2 Raptor choke, HiViz sights dropped the birds instantly. It was the first Wisconsin turkey for Jeff Tarsi, and Chad couldn't be prouder of it. Farming, conservation, camaraderie, wild birds, great food. That's the Fowl Life. This episode is presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions, and brought to you by Travel Wisconsin, Mickey Thompson Tires, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Benelli Shotguns, Federal Premium Ammunition, HiViz Sights, Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks, ESP Hearing Protection, Corning Ford, Bodyguard Bumpers, and LEER Camper Shells
