Podcasts about farming

In this somber and hard-hitting episode of Talk Dirt To Me, we confront the tragic state of America today where hatred, violence, and division are spreading like wildfire. We discuss the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk and the horrific subway killing of a young Ukrainian girl, two heartbreaking examples of how far our culture has fallen. We reflect on how our nation has become consumed by anger, where life is devalued, truth is attacked, and evil is growing louder. In the face of this darkness, we urge our listeners to be vigilant and prepared, to train and protect their families, to have courage, and to speak boldly and fearlessly share the truth in a world that punishes honesty. Later in the episode, we answer a listener's question about farming: How many cattle would it take to offset the losses of a devastating year on a typical row crop operation? We break it down with honest, real-world insight from the ag trenches. “Live so boldly that your enemies celebrate your death.” This episode is a rallying cry to farmers, patriots, and protectors everywhere: America needs courageous men and women willing to stand in the gap.

Season 5: Episode 215In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Xinnan Li, VP and Senior Packaging Analyst at Rabobank, to discuss how customer trends and evolving food preferences are reshaping agricultural markets. Xinnan shares her journey from studying biology and food science to analyzing packaging, logistics, and consumer-driven change for one of the world's largest agri-focused banks.The conversation explores how shifting demographics, particularly the influence of Gen Z and millennials, are driving demand for local and organic foods—yet also how tightened disposable income is limiting higher-priced categories. Xinnan highlights the long-term rise of convenience, the impact of weight loss medications on portion sizes, and how packaging has become a powerful tool for both branding and efficiency.They also dive into the rise of the MAHA movement and what it signals for future consumer behavior, the risks producers face when markets overcorrect, and the ways demographic changes and global diversity will continue to shape food demand. Xinnan emphasizes the importance of transparency, storytelling, and aligning operations with consumer expectations.Looking ahead, she previews her upcoming presentation at the Women in Agribusiness Summit in Orlando this September, where she'll provide a data-driven look at these same themes—demographics, disposable income, trade, and consumer bifurcation—and what they mean for the future of agriculture.Learn more about Rabobank at https://rabobank.comLearn more about Women in Agribusiness at https://www.womeninag.com/#farm #farming #agricultureNorth American Ag is devoted to highlighting the people & companies in agriculture who impact our industry and help feed the world.

Farming is a dangerous occupation. Today we look at staying safe and getting workers back to work.

Subscribers can dive into exclusive, extended conversations from this podcast! To join the adventure, head to BumpInTheRoad.Substack.com.    A.J. Richards is on a mission.  He has created , a platform aimed at decentralizing the food supply chain and empowering family farms. From the Farm is not just a business; it's a movement. It connects consumers directly with farmers and ranchers, eliminating unnecessary middlemen. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also provides consumers with the opportunity to know exactly where their food is coming from. A.J. emphasizes the importance of transparency and trust in the food industry, stating, “We want to cut out all the middlemen that are completely unnecessary.” AJ touches on the cost of raising clean meat and produce, versus the factory produced food we currently consume.He also emphasizes  the importance of humane treatment of animals at slaughter. Stress hormones from the animals flows into the meat you consume! Instead he advocates for field harvesting, which minimizes stress for the animals and ultimately leads to better quality meat. This commitment to ethical practices is a core value of From the Farm, as they strive to support producers who prioritize animal welfare. How can we transform our current industrial system to a healthier one? First is education. Understand the food supply chain so you can make informed choices. Then, gradual adoption. Start by sourcing just one item from a local producer. As your knowledge and awareness grows, you will move into ever healthier choices, Clean food is a passion of mine and I hope this podcast resonates with you and makes you stop and think. How could you be making healthier choices?       What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys. It is a book of hope and wisdom for all of us facing a bump in the road.” –Pragito Dove   “Pat has woven together beautiful stories of life setbacks that have been transformed into spiritual growth.

Could the reshuffle be an opportunity to reset the relationship between farmers and the government? The National Farmers Union President is optimistic, on the Union's Back British Farming day. Unlicensed burning of vegetation on moorland in England where there's a deep layer of peat will be banned, DEFRA has confirmed. Land managers will have to apply for burning licences for land where 30cm of peat lies beneath the surface, previously licensing only applied to 40cm of deep peat. Environmentalists believe the move will safeguard peatland habitats and stored carbon. Landowners are angry at the decision, and argue that fewer controlled precautionary burns will increase the fuel available for wildfires - which themselves release more carbon into the atmosphere. And, efforts to increase numbers of the elusive Corncrake in the Western Isles.Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

With 97% of farm income concentrated in just 3% of farms, the remaining 97% struggle to make ends meet, often forcing the next generation to leave farming altogether. Mark Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Carbon Country, is working to reverse this trend with a groundbreaking vision that combines renewable energy, sustainable farming practices, and economic innovation.Mark's approach centers on agrivoltaics, a system of integrating solar panels with farming. “The idea behind Carbon Country is to transform the economics and sustainability of smallholder farms by adding agrovoltaics, which is a fancy word for solar above farming,” Mark explained. By installing solar panels over grazing land and using regenerative practices like rotational sheep grazing, Carbon Country creates a dual-purpose solution that enhances both energy production and soil health.The potential doesn't stop there. Mark is pioneering carbon removal practices, including biochar production and “wood vaulting,” a process developed by a University of Maryland professor. “We're building the first large-scale biochar facility in Maryland,” Mark said. These initiatives not only sequester carbon but also improve soil quality, making farms more productive and sustainable.To further amplify the economic viability, Mark has integrated energy storage and Bitcoin mining into the model. “We're putting battery storage and Bitcoin mining together, creating an ecosystem with our panels,” he said. By arbitraging peak and non-peak power prices, Carbon Country maximizes revenue while helping stabilize the energy grid.Currently, Carbon Country is raising capital through a regulation crowdfunding campaign on Vicinity Capital. This innovative platform connects investors with high-impact projects, providing opportunities to support sustainable solutions like Mark's.Mark's work is more than a business—it's a mission to ensure smallholder farms remain productive for future generations. “Our goal is to make these farms legacy assets,” he said, “doing important things for both the economy and the environment.”If you want to learn more or invest in this inspiring initiative, visit Carbon Country's crowdfunding page and join the movement to reshape agriculture and energy for a better future.tl;dr:Mark Smith shares how agrivoltaics can transform smallholder farms by combining solar panels with farming.Carbon Country integrates biochar production and carbon storage to improve soil health and sequester carbon.Renewable energy, Bitcoin mining, and storage create economic opportunities for struggling smallholder farmers.Mark explains his superpower of rapid learning and offers advice for mastering new fields.This episode highlights Carbon Country's crowdfunding campaign to support sustainable farming and energy solutions.How to Develop Rapid Learning As a SuperpowerMark Smith's superpower is his ability to quickly master new fields of knowledge. “I think my superpower really is being able to get to near expert level on practically anything very quickly,” he said. This remarkable skill has allowed him to tackle challenges in diverse areas such as recycling, water filtration, and now agrivoltaics. Mark credits his success to curiosity, humility, and a willingness to dedicate time to learning and experimentation.Illustrative Story:Mark shared an example of how his rapid learning ability transformed an idea into reality. Initially exploring abandoned mining sites for solar projects, he discovered that ranches were a better fit. By asking questions about land use and grazing practices, he realized he could integrate rotational grazing and biochar production with solar installations. Through research and conversations with experts, he developed a model that improves soil health, sequesters carbon, and generates renewable energy—all while supporting smallholder farmers.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Be Curious: Read extensively and watch content to understand the basics of new fields.Seek Advice: Approach experts with humility and ask thoughtful questions.Experiment: Start small and learn by doing, even if it means making mistakes.Stay Open: Embrace being a beginner and remain receptive to unexpected insights.By following Mark's example and advice, you can make rapid learning a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Cacao agronomist Sarah Bharath has become one of my closest friends in the craft chocolate world, and she's been on Bean to Barstool a couple times before. (You can listen to those conversations here and here.) Today I'm sharing the first of a two part conversation Sarah and I had recently about cacao farming and fermentation. Rather than getting technical (though there is certainly a lot of science here), the conversation was more philosophical, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by small-holder farms in the cacao space. Farmers need to make money to live, and that means efficiency and predictability are easy to prioritize. But those goals might be at odds with soil health, long-term plant health, and the ultimately goals of cacao production: flavor and complexity. How do we reconcile these? And what do we do with the tension in craft chocolate and other artisan food and drink industries between the romance of terroir and agricultural variability and the need for consistency and agronomic predictability?Listen in as Sarah and I discuss these topics!

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Melissa Oberti, a third-generation Central Valley farmer from Madera, to share her family's story and the challenges facing small growers in California. The Legacy of Oberti Olives For decades, the Oberti family was synonymous with olives in the Central Valley. Starting in the 1930s, the Oberti brand became a household name. But competition from Spain and Italy eventually priced California growers out of the market, forcing the family to pivot into almonds and wine grapes. “We just couldn't compete anymore,” Oberti explained, noting that her family's olive legacy still sparks recognition across the Valley. Water and the High-Speed Rail Fight Today, the Oberti family farms 320 acres of wine grapes and 170 acres of almonds, but both crops face major challenges. Oberti described how water regulations under SGMA and fees have strained operations, while the state's high-speed rail project is set to divide and landlock parts of their property. “We just harvested our last crop of almonds on that ranch,” she said, noting that 25-year-old orchards won't be replanted due to the uncertainty. Broken Policies and Unfair Competition Oberti expressed frustration with state policies that she says punish farmers while rewarding unchecked development. From rising energy costs to pesticide bans that fuel rodent infestations, she argued that Sacramento lawmakers lack both “skin in the game” and basic understanding of agriculture. “They make rules and policies without knowing what it takes to farm,” she said. She also pointed out the unfair playing field created by global competition. “How do you compete with other states where minimum wage is $7.50 and here it's $20? Add in water costs, PG&E rates, and regulations—it's not sustainable.” A Call to Action for California Agriculture Despite the challenges, Oberti urged farmers to speak up and push forward. She emphasized that farmers are resilient, environmentally responsible, and vital to America's food security. “People forget California is one of the few places in the world that can grow this diversity of crops,” she said. “If we lose that, where will our food come from?”

Economist Dr. Gbenga Ajilore discusses how trade policy uncertainty is creating unprecedented challenges for American farmers. From rising input costs due to tariffs on steel and fertilizer to disrupted export markets, agricultural producers face daily policy changes that make long-term planning nearly impossible.

From growing up on a Michigan family farm to navigating the highs and lows of ag banking, Matt shares his journey of tough moral decisions, financial lessons, and why he ultimately joined Legacy Farmer. In this conversation, you'll hear the raw truth about banking red flags, farm financial struggles, and how farmers can take back control of their operations.

Farming during the harvest is hard work. It is so much easier for farmers to sit at McDonald’s with a group to drink coffee and tell farming stories. But, any farmer knows the season of harvest is the whole purpose and goal for farming. Therefore, they watch the field, and when the crops are brown and the grain is ripe, farmers get to the fields. Followers of Jesus are a type of farmer. The first small group, the 12 Disciples, were asked by Jesus to pray for workers that would go into the harvest. Then Jesus sends them into the fields, as an extension of His mission and proclaiming His Kingdom. They become the answer to their own prayers, and Jesus empowers this small community to love and reach the people in their culture. This is also our purpose: to be Gospel shaped and formed communities on mission. Our groups are not just farmers sipping coffee around a table. We are teams of missionaries sent by Jesus into Eureka, Pacific, St. Clair, Washington, and to the nations. The fields are ripe—will you put on some overalls and join us?

In this explosive episode of Talk Dirt to Me, we go off on the growing hatred toward American farmers, and we don't hold back. From the endless attacks over subsidies to the ignorant comments about “too many farmers,” we set the record straight and unleash the truth. We break down what the U.S. would look like if a massive percentage of farmers went broke. What happens if 20% of farmers disappear? What about 60%? The scenarios are nothing short of chaos, skyrocketing food prices, restaurant closures, fuel spikes, clothing shortages, and an unraveling of America's food security. This episode dives into: The devastating ripple effects of farmer loss on food, fuel, clothing, manufacturing, and more How inflation, shortages, and foreign dependence would crush the U.S. Why ignorance fuels anti-farmer rhetoric, and why we're saying “f*$k you” to the haters If you care about where your food, fuel, and everyday goods come from, this episode is a wake-up call. Farmers aren't the problem, they're the reason you can afford to eat.
