Acorn was complaining about lagging internet speeds and dropped cell signal, so she and Blind Hog raided up the cell phone amplifier antenna higher on the roof- moving it to the peak as well as puttin git on a 10' mast.  Already speeds have increased from -114 dB to -102 dB and sometimes even faster!  it is the little things...Garden doing well, had its first irrigation today.  Sam has been enjoying almost daily walkies for 2.5 miles, keeps those toenails trimmed on the dirt road.Goats doing well in the woods, as are the ticks that have gotten on them- they will be dealt with here tomorrow says Acorn.Blind Hog has been keeping the yard mowed and the songbirds fed. Hummingbirds back in full force, orioles still hanging around with the rose breasted grosbeaks.  All is swell at the farm!

To coincide with the release of our new report, Grazing Livestock: It's not the cow but the how, the latest guest on the SFT Podcast this month is Nic Renison. Nic is a regenerative farmer based in Cumbria where she farms alongside her husband, Paul (Reno), at Cannerheugh Farm. The daughter of dairy farmers, Nic grew up within the conventional, high production agricultural environment, growing food with little thought of the environment. This all changed in 2012 when Nic and Reno had a 'light bulb' moment after visiting an organic farm in Northumberland, which inspired them to start employing more regenerative farming methods. In 2018, alongside Liz Genever, Nic co-founded Carbon Calling – a conference created for farmers, by farmers, to share ideas and exchange knowledge on all things farming and regenerative agriculture. During the episode Nic and Patrick discuss Nic's early farming influences, her and her husband's journey from conventional to regenerative farming methods and the origins of the Carbon Calling conference, and how it supports the wider farming community. To find out more about Nic and Cannerheugh Farm, follow their journey on Instagram and visit their website here.

Learn the benefits of regenerative farming and Eating Organic Regenerative Foods! Proper nutrition can create defenses against toxic impact, including those from heavy metals such as mercury, and assisting in its excretion. Nutrition also protects the nervous system in many ways by keeping cell membranes strong or strengthening weak ones, protecting DNA, improving the production of energy within the cells, and reducing inflammation. Proper nutrition also protects the enzyme systems that detoxify the cells and the liver. What the average person, and the average professional, thinks good nutrition is are often vastly incorrect. Many Americans still think the french fry is a valid, nutritious vegetable and we eat from boxes and cans. A compromised digestive tract does not allow the nutrients from fresh foods to absorb into our cells and fulfill our body's needs. Read your labels. Know what to look for. Our foods today are poisoned routinely by large manufacturing companies that choose to add ingredients that are chemical in nature. Many of these foods actually make us crave more food.They also contain sugars and toxins that will invade the central nervous system—this means your child's brain! How we grow, feed, and prepare our food is another issue altogether. Conventional food is grown in soil that is so depleted of nutrients to feed the growing crops that when the crop is mature enough to eat, it lacks sufficient quantities of nutrients. We eat food thinking it is giving us the nutrition we need. Most grains, fruits, and vegetables are genetically modified and are grown in toxic pesticides. Our livestock are fed grains grown in these same pesticides, and they are fed antibiotics and hormones that remain in the meat we eat. This means more toxic overload. Children with autism, ADD, food intolerances, or an improperly working digestive system are already deficient in vital nutrients that their growing brains need. It is never a deficiency of just one nutrient—when one vitamin or mineral is lacking, additional deficiencies develop. These children are usually not absorbing the nutrients from the good foods they eat, and they have a breakdown in the metabolism of nutrients as well. We all need supplementation along with good nutrition, but these children especially do. Another very important aspect is that our food sources are severely depleted of nutrition due to over-use of soils, therefore limiting them of vital nutrients. Seeds for grain are mutated, often to the point that our bodies do not even know how to digest them. These same grains, also laden with chemicals, are given to the animals that we eat, along with hormones that have been ingested and injected. When we put this into our bodies, we not only lack what we need for good nutrition, but we ingest so many chemicals ourselves that we need supplementation to combat the toxicity. The main reason our food today has fewer minerals is that modern farming practices have depleted the soil. Here's why:..

As business owners, we're constantly faced with challenges, but how often do we take action versus just complaining? In this episode, I dive into my personal journey from being stuck in a victim mentality to taking ownership of my life, business, and finances. I share how shifting my mindset led to real change and why many of the problems we face today are often the very things we once prayed for.  Tune in to hear about the shift from victim to victor, and how to roll with the punches that come with being in charge of your own success. If you're ready to make a change and need guidance on where to start, we're here to help.

Wheat Yield and Plant TimingOne of the most surprising insights was that delaying wheat planting can yield results comparable to earlier planting, depending on environmental conditions. This flexibility allows farmers to make informed decisions based on real-time weather patterns.Seeding RatesDr. Silva shared recent studies indicating that increasing seeding rates may not significantly impact yields, particularly with modern wheat varieties. This challenges the traditional belief that more seeds always equate to better yields, prompting a reevaluation of seeding strategies.Nitrogen ManagementProper timing of nitrogen application is crucial for maximizing protein content in wheat, which directly correlates with yield. Understanding the right timing can help farmers optimize their inputs for better outputs.Genetic ImprovementsAdvancements in wheat breeding have produced varieties that are more resilient to stressors like nitrogen deficiency and adverse soil conditions. This genetic progress is vital for adapting to the challenges posed by climate change and soil health issues.Understanding Disease ManagementThe episode highlighted the significant impact of disease management, with fungicide use increasing yields by 10-12 bushels per acre in high disease-pressure environments. This underscores the importance of proactive disease management strategies in wheat production. Time Stamps(00:00) - Introduction to the episode and guest, Dr. Amanda Silva.(00:38) - Quick introductions of the team members and their roles.(01:06) - Dr. Brian Arnall discusses challenges in wheat breeding for marginal lands.(01:16) - Dr. Josh Lofton emphasizes the importance of equipment maintenance before harvest.(01:46) - Transition to discussing the 2024 wheat crop and the new recording location.(01:57) - Dave shares insights on the recent wheat harvest and data collection challenges.(02:15) - Dr. Amanda Silva discusses her observations from the last year's wheat crop.(02:51) - Overview of the various experiments conducted during the past season.(03:49) - Discussion on the impact of planting dates and seeding rates on wheat yield.(04:44) - Insights on grain yield and the effects of delayed planting.(05:21) - Amanda explains findings on seeding rates and their impact on yield.(06:07) - Discussion on historical planting practices and their evolution over time.(07:06) - Amanda shares thoughts on best management practices for late planting.(08:02) - The importance of genetics in modern wheat varieties and their adaptability.(08:56) - Discussion on the implications of using older planting equipment.(09:19) - Amanda addresses the role of seed treatment in wheat planting.(10:51) - The conversation shifts to tiller management and its impact on yield.(11:44) - Discussion on the changing expectations of wheat producers regarding crop density.(12:28) - Insights on the effects of weather patterns on wheat growth and yield.(14:02) - The impact of late sow and its implications for crop rotation.(15:27) - Amanda clarifies the importance of planting timing and variety selection.(16:52) - Discussion on the risks of planting too early and the importance of monitoring conditions.(18:27) - The conversation focuses on managing late-season freezes and planting strategies.(20:17) - Amanda discusses the relationship between seeding rates and yield stability.(21:25) - The impact of seeding rates on tiller production and overall crop health.(22:19) - The challenges of balancing wheat maturity and harvest timing.(23:11) - Amanda explains the critical period for wheat and its importance for yield.(24:38) - Discussion on the management of hollow stem in wheat crops.(26:04) - Insights on how to effectively use first hollow stem data for management decisions.(27:54) - The importance of scouting and monitoring individual fields for accurate data.(30:15) - Amanda discusses the nuances of protein levels in dual-purpose versus grain-only systems.(32:09) - The conversation shifts to the importance of soil pH and its impact on wheat production.(34:17) - Discussion on the long-term implications of relying on aluminum tolerance in breeding.(36:20) - Amanda emphasizes the need for balanced soil management practices.(37:05) - The conversation wraps up with insights on wheat variety performance in 2024.(47:23) - Amanda hints at a standout wheat variety for the upcoming season.(48:59) - Discussion on the importance of disease management in wheat production.(50:45) - Closing remarks and thanks to Dr. Amanda Silva for her insights.  RedDirtAgronomy.com

Jake has a long history in the Vermont agricultural space, and helped craft the organic movement, and is actively involved in the real organic project, we ran out of time to really discuss all the avenues that his farming life has taken him and I'll have to revisit with him to share more of this interesting history but I hope you enjoy this episode of The Farmer's Share. Support the Show.Visit the website to see photos/videos from the visit: https://thefarmersshare.comFollow the show on Facebook and Instagram: @thefarmersshareSubscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thefarmersshare

I tease Harry Duran about how we first connected, because it makes me feel good about my scrappiness as a podcaster. He wasn't mean, just way bigger than me - and he still is, we're just connected now, which I'm so grateful for!Harry's first podcast, Podcast Junkies just hit the 10 year mark recently, and I'm super grateful to have been a guest (see episode 332).

There are so many podcasters, and everyone has a story --His 2nd podcast, Vertical Farming, is about just that, and has brought him all over the world. He talks to CEOs of companies in the field to learn more about practices and purpose, and they love the chance to be featured, and Harry loves learning. so it's a win win. He also has a group that he's guiding in podcasting called podcast Blueprint - Harry talks about it on his Fullcast website here: https://fullcast.co/Harry and his partner moved a few years ago to Minnesota from NYC, and he doesn't talk about it a lot, so I thought it would be fun to see how that transition has been - listen to the full episode here!

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks to returning guest Billi J. Miller in this episode titled “Beautiful Farm Stories.” When Billi married her husband, a 4th generation Canadian farmer, she noticed there were very little photographs of their rich, 100-year farming heritage. As a photographer she felt called to do something about it. Harnessing her entrepreneurial spirit, she created a successful business as a photographer and writer. In 2016, she authored the first of a two-book series about the remarkable contributions of farmwives. Then while the World was locked down, Billi put pen to paper again and wrote “Bubbles Took A Trip” and “Farm Kids: Stories From Our Lives.” We are excited to have Billi back on the show, speaking about her books, why she wrote them, and the mission behind her work. If you are from a farm family, Billi's books will find a special place in your heart.
