Podcasts about farmland

In this episode, we listen to a maiden's oath, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 76, penned by Paranar. Set amidst the resounding drums of the 'Marutham' or 'Farmlands landscape', the verse brings out the rivalry between women in the rich domain of ancient towns.

MPs deliver their verdict on measures to prevent meat and dairy products being imported illegally into the UK. The report published today by the Commons' Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Committee is unlikely to make comfortable reading for DEFRA. The Addington Fund countryside charity is opening its Forage Aid grant scheme in response to feed shortages caused by the drought conditions experienced in some parts of the country. And, there are signs that declines in some farmland bird species are slowing thanks to agri-environment schemes.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

Ongoing Struggles Over Land and Water California agriculture continues to face pressure from regulatory uncertainty, land use conflicts, and unresolved water projects. In a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer broke down some of the most pressing challenges farmers are up against, from stalled water infrastructure to the growing debate over solar development on farmland. Land Locked and Left Waiting Farm families such as the Oberti operation have been waiting for years to farm ground tied up by state and federal decisions. As Papagni noted, that means four years without almond production—a devastating blow for growers and the local economy. While investors circle California land, many producers see it as a “bridge to nowhere,” with uncertainty keeping fields idle instead of productive. Agrivoltaics and the Push for Solar The conversation then shifted to agrivoltaics, the idea of combining solar energy production with agriculture. While solar developers claim crops or grazing can coexist under solar panels, many California farmers remain skeptical. Boyer highlighted discussions in Kern County, where farmland is increasingly being eyed for solar projects. Farmers argue prime soils should remain dedicated to food production, not power generation. Even within farm groups such as the California Farm Bureau and local county bureaus, divisions remain about how best to balance renewable energy with agriculture. AB1156 and the Williamson Act At the heart of the debate is Assembly Bill 1156, legislation that ties into the California Land Conservation Act of 1965, better known as the Williamson Act. The act allows counties and cities to preserve farmland by restricting its use to agriculture. However, AB1156 opens the door for those contracts to be rescinded in favor of solar-use agreements, a move many growers see as a dangerous precedent. Papagni emphasized that once solar panels are placed in fertile soil, the ground may never recover for farming. He questioned why California leaders push solar development while failing to deliver on longstanding water commitments. Farmers Demand Water Before Solar The frustration runs deep. Farmers argue that water infrastructure must come first, pointing to decades of political inaction. Papagni recalled a 2009 water bill that led to the passage of a $7.45 billion water storage bond in 2014, with overwhelming voter approval. Yet, more than a decade later, not a single major water project has been completed. “Why do we vote for bonds when nothing happens?” Papagni asked, voicing frustration shared by many producers. Instead of new reservoirs or storage, growers watch as water is flushed to the ocean while farmland is proposed for solar conversion. California's Future Food Supply at Risk As the state's population nears 40 million, California continues to lose farmland. Papagni warned that reducing the state's agricultural capacity will have long-term consequences: higher food prices, lower quality, and greater dependence on imports. “If we keep thinking like this,” he said, “California won't be able to feed the world.” Conclusion The latest episode of the AgNet News Hour captured the tension between politics, energy, and agriculture in California. Farmers are calling for water storage projects and farmland preservation, while policymakers push renewable energy development. The question remains: Will California prioritize feeding people, or fueling power grids? For more agricultural updates, visit AgNetWest.com and subscribe to the AgNet West podcast.

Are you a landowner buying or selling ag ground, or a land agent who wants a real, defensible way to put money back in your client's pocket? In this episode of The National Land Podcast, host Mac Christian talks with Alec Bean and Karly Pavlinac of The Soil Tax Guys about a powerful, underused tool: IRS Section 180. In plain English, you can deduct the excess soil fertility you acquire with a farm or ranch, treating those nutrients like an asset, if you follow the rules. Whether you row-crop, graze cattle, or market farmland, you'll learn how to lock in a one-time, use-it-or-lose-it deduction that can materially change deal math. What You'll Learn: How Section 180 works (fertility valued via soil tests and USDA pricing = tax deduction) The critical timing: test after closing and before any fertilizer is applied Typical values (~$500/ac averages) and real cases topping $1k–$6.5k/ac Three ways CPAs take it: all at once, 60/30/10 over 3 years, or over useful life Where it applies: food and forage production (crops, grazing)—not timber/hunting-only tracts State nuances: why land-grant university guidelines drive which nutrients count Deal strategy: pre-sale testing as a marketing tool, auction use, and portfolio roll-forward Risk & readiness: audit-defensible reports (GPS'd sampling, documentation) and common CPA misconceptions Edge cases: recent purchases with no fertilizer yet, and why inheritance usually doesn't qualify This episode is a must-listen for: Farm/ranch owners buying or selling ground Land brokers/auctioneers who want a sharper pitch (and faster closings) Operators expanding portfolios who reinvest tax savings into the next deal Heirs/trustees evaluating sale vs. hold strategies on working land Don't leave five or six figures on the table. If ag is the use, Section 180 should be on your checklist every single time.

Abandoned farmland has been increasing dramatically in recent decades.  Estimates are that a billion acres – an area half the size of Australia – have been relinquished from cultivation globally.  While more and more of the tropics have been cultivated in recent times, the global amount of land used for agriculture has been in decline […]

In this episode of EisnerAmper's Engaging Alternatives Spotlight, Elana Margulies-Snyderman, Director, Publications, speaks with Jack McCarthy, Co-Founder & CEO, Gold Leaf Farming, a specialty crop farmland investment firm that invests in almond and pistachio orchards in the Western U.S. Jack shares his outlook for crop farmland investing including the greatest opportunities, challenges and more.

We want to help farmers and ranchers experience freedom and make farming fun again.Doing things the way traditional agronomists, lenders and insurance companies tell us we need to do it is not that much fun anymore. If you share this sentiment, give us a call. We have been there done that and thrown away the free hat,” Vance McCoy - Transitional Ag Consulting About Vance McCoy: In 1988, when Vance McCoy was 16, his father passed away, leaving Vance and his mom Maggie to manage the farm, “I was the only boy and had three sisters.  That was how it worked out from the beginning.  Everyone just knew I was going to be a farmer.  I had planned to leave and come back to the farm, but when dad passed away, that put me on the fast track.”When McCoy was growing up near Elsie, Neb., the family raised mostly corn and operated a cow/calf operation.  Today, he and his wife Ronda's two grown sons, Tyler and Tanner, farm as separate managers of their own endeavors.  McCoy continues raising corn and soybeans, but has also found a passion for soil health and regenerative agriculture.  In addition to the farming business, McCoy also started Triple Creek Cover Crops, named for the three creeks that still cross the family farm.  His daughter, Meredith, helps with the cover crop business.    His sons returning to the farm around 2012, was one of the reasons McCoy began to seriously look at changing some things, “I had bought my farm when I was 30, and when I was 40 had the sons coming back to farm with me already.  We had to find a new way to make that work.  We had to look at the expenses in a different way as well as our risk.  That is when I really fast-forwarded into a new way of doing things.”  McCoy enjoys sharing his trials and triumphs on Facebook through videos and photos with posts outlining the real-world scenarios he is testing, “I try and be humble about it.  I was lucky because dad was always forward-thinking.  That's another thing I tell people, ‘You have to respect your dad because he didn't get to where he is at by being stupid.  Be patient, there are probably some things you need to learn from him too.'  But, I also remind some of those dads that if their fathers had not allowed them to make changes, where would they be today?”“Asking questions and getting answers will get us someplace,” he said.  “Don't preach.  Ask questions.  It's the best way to learn from somebody.”Contact Vance and the Transitional Ag Consulting team at: www.grazemastergroup.com.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the emergency situation in Canada as climate lockdowns continue and new enforcement risks snowballing into the total collapse of any remaining freedom in Canada. Nova Scotia famously brought in climate lockdowns where people were banned starting August 5th from walking, hiking, biking, driving, camping or fishing in the wilderness. This includes not just crown land but on their own private property. Of course this doesn't include the police enforcing these rules riding through wilderness on their bikes... People like Jeff Evely, a Canadian veteran has been handed a $28,872.50 fine for not complying with the insane climate lockdowns. New Brunswick has pushed similar policies. British Columbia is banning people from kayaking in their rivers, though canoeing is fine... This comes as we see natural disasters happening everywhere at the same time. Very strange. A Canadian firefighter in Saskatchewan was charged with starting 30 fires on purpose leading to massive damage. Not a single fine. The hypocrisy of all of this is crazy. Of course this was never about safety. More than 80% of fires are started by lightning. You cannot ban lightning. We warned people years ago that this agenda would be endorsed on the public. That the public would even cheer it on. The WEF said themselves that 2020 was a litmus test for compliance to bring in climate lockdowns and 15 Minute Cities. Interestingly, via eminent domain, many places that have recently been hit by major fires are being seized to build smart cities. Meanwhile, property rights continue to be pummeled in places like British Columbia as a precedent setting court case has just handed $100 billion of infrastructure including 750 hectares of land in Richmond to First Nations people. That includes private property. Farmland. Urban land. Golf courses and Port lands. The government is telling people that they own nothing and must comply. What are you willing to do about it?

Ep 222 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping agriculture, policy, and culture — with their usual dose of snark and sincerity. First up: Denver's $3M climate campaign telling residents to “eat less meat.” Is this just smart marketing or another example of tone-deaf city policy? The hosts unpack the contradictions between urban climate initiatives and the agricultural backbone of Colorado — and why voters might not be on board with this push. Then, a viral voicemail from a Cadillac buyer takes center stage. She's got “an energetic allergy” to Texas leather and wants to know exactly where her Escalade's interior was sourced from. Is it satire or a sign of how far removed consumers are from animal ag? The third discovery? A farm-to-skincare success story. Meet the Taylor sisters — fourth-gen plum farmers turning byproduct pits into luxury skincare with Le Prunier. From Neiman Marcus shelves to viral beauty status, this ag x luxury brand story has Tara ready to hit add to cart. And finally, a 175-year-old farm is being seized by local government under eminent domain for affordable housing. The hosts weigh legacy, policy, and the real danger of treating farmland as “fair game” for development. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for a bonus mini-interview with Iowa corn and soybean farmer Joe Roberts, recorded live at the Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR race. From fuel independence to sustainability to getting more farmers in the driver's seat of national conversations, this conversation is fast-paced (literally) and full of insight. Check Out Iowa Corn

If you've ever thought “I don't think I understand bitcoin and frankly it feels to late to ask” this is probably going to be a good episode for you, because I ask some fundamental questions. I'm not saying you'll fully understand it today, but Vance also offers some pretty practical advice for those who want to go deeper.

In this conversation, host Amanda Radke sits down with Jeb Smith, a multi-generational farmer and the president of the Florida Farm Bureau, to unpack the rich history and diverse landscape of Florida agriculture. Together, they discuss the enduring legacy of farming families, the pressures of urbanization, and the fight for water rights in a state facing increasing environmental and economic challenges. From over 300 commodities to the legacy of Florida's cattle industry, Jeb provides an inside look at the resilience and innovation of the state's agricultural community. This episode sheds light on the realities of farming in a rapidly changing world and underscores the importance of advocacy, sustainability, and community engagement.Key Takeaways:Florida agriculture produces over 300 commodities, making it one of the most diverse agricultural states in the U.S.Jeb Smith's family has farmed in St. Augustine for generations, demonstrating the deep roots and legacy of Florida's rural families.Urbanization continues to threaten farmland and water resources, creating friction between development and agriculture.Water rights are a major issue in Florida, differing significantly from the policies in western states.Property taxes and increasing operational costs are straining small agricultural businesses.Labor shortages remain a significant challenge in Florida's farming and ranching sectors.The Florida cattle industry has a rich history, and heat tolerance is critical for raising livestock in the state's hot climate.Borrowing capital for farm operations can create financial risk, especially in volatile markets.Despite urban pressures, agriculture can still thrive in populated areas through sustainable and innovative practices.Community involvement and advocacy are vital in preserving the future of rural America.The largest continuous ranch in the United States is located in Florida, highlighting the state's historical and ongoing role in the cattle industry.Amanda Radke continues to spotlight inspiring rural leaders and stories that embody the heart of rural America.Presented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | Dirt Road RadioSave on Redmond Real Salt with code RADKE at https://shop.redmondagriculture.com/Check out Amanda's agricultural children's books here: https://amandaradke.com/collections/amandas-books

On this episode of the podcast, Senator Marsha Blackburn joins the conversation to expose the obstructionist tactics of Senate Democrats and highlight critical national security legislation, including bills to ban foreign ownership of U.S. farmland, specifically targeting China, end Sister City agreements with adversarial nations, and require U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assess the impact of foreign buyers on housing markets. The Tennessee Republican also calls for accountability in the wake of newly declassified documents implicating the FBI and the Clinton campaign in amplifying the debunked Russia collusion narrative.The second conversation on this episode is between Amanda Head and retired FBI Executive Assistant Director Chris Piehota who weighs in on the politicization of the Bureau, criticizing the weaponization of federal agencies for partisan purposes and praising current leadership for trying to restore the FBI's integrity. He warns of growing threats to national security if institutional trust isn't rebuilt.And finally, American Principles Project Executive Director Anthony LaBruna slams the National Education Association (NEA) after its annual convention devolves into a political rally against President Donald Trump. LaBruna calls for the NEA's charter to be revoked, citing a radical agenda that prioritizes gender politics over academic fundamentals. He predicts a mass exodus to homeschooling, private, and faith-based education as families seek refuge from failing public schools, and warns that union leaders' six-figure salaries are coming at the cost of students' futures.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Half a million pounds is going from the UK Government to a project aiming to improve soils in Ukraine. The ongoing research, being run by the Royal Agricultural University, has identified significant damage to soils from the war there - things like heavy metal contamination from bombardments. The new money will help set up soil labs. We speak to the professor leading it and a farmer in Ukraine.Small changes in the way a river catchment is managed can have a big impact - reconnecting floodplains, re-wiggling rivers and slowing the flow upstream can reduce the flood and pollution risk and encourage more biodiversity. A ‘whole Cumbria strategy', which involves three River Trusts, the Environment Agency and Natural England – has just been named as one of only four finalists for a prestigious global award, the Thiess International River prize. It's up against river projects in the USA and Albania.

According to data from the Department of Agriculture, China owns around 350,000 acres of farmland across 27 states as of last year. Lawmakers have argued that China's farmland and housing buys are a national security risk with many of the purchases near military installations. House Republicans are taking action and have introduced the "Protecting Our Farms and Homes from China Act", which aims to codify oversight on foreign countries buying American farmland. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, member of the House Committee on Agriculture and a proud farmer herself, who agrees that China buying up U.S. farmland is an issue of national security.

Could a summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping be on the horizon? Secretary of State Marco Rubio says it's a "high probability." It follows Rubio's meeting with China's top diplomat—details on that, coming up. The Trump administration is working to ban ownership of U.S. farmland by Chinese nationals. But that's just one piece of the bigger picture when it comes to keeping America's food supply safe. The Pentagon is becoming the top stakeholder in the United States' largest rare earths miner. This deal is a key step toward securing America's rare earths supply amid challenges from China. And are trade tensions between the U.S. and Brazil pushing South America's largest economy closer to China? A Brazilian expert says yes—and shares more about China's rising influence in the region. The United States names China a key threat during a meeting of top military chiefs from the U.S., Japan, and South Korea.

In this week's Talk Dirt To Me, we're diving headfirst into the Big Beautiful Bill, and trust us, there's a lot hidden in those pages that every farmer in America needs to know. We break down what's happening with ARC/PLC payments, how they could hit your bottom line, and why you should care. Then we crank up the heat with the National Farm Security Action Plan. Yeah, it sounds like bureaucratic fluff, but it could change the game for who owns America's dirt. Speaking of which, just how much U.S. farmland does China own? We pull back the curtain on foreign land ownership and what that means for real American farmers busting their backs every day. We're also looking ahead at upcoming farm payments, disaster relief dollars, and the harsh reality of how far they don't go for the people who feed this nation. But we didn't stop there. We dug deep into the primal part of every man's soul: the desire to be an outlaw, a renegade, a modern-day cowboy pushing against the system. Why do men dream of breaking free from the herd? We've got some thoughts, and you won't want to miss them. And in our Made in America segment, we highlight Wilde Protein Chips, a crispy, protein-packed snack that proves American grit and good taste can go hand in hand. If you're a red-blooded farmer, rancher, or freedom-loving renegade, this episode is your rally cry. Hit play, share it with your crew, and let's keep real American agriculture alive and kicking.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it's 2025 and somehow this wasn't already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what's deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it's a Cold War cosplay. And don't worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let's go.

Churches in the United States have been regarded as a kind of sleeping giant for elections. The issue is, because of different regulations on nonprofits, churches have not been able to endorse political candidates. And because of this, they've been forced, to an extent, to stay out of politics. Critics have criticized the issue the other way though, noting that the regulations have acted as a government restriction on religion. And now, things have changed. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that churches can now endorse political candidates.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
