James Winslade's fields started to flood nearly three weeks ago. They're still under water, and the floods are creeping closer to his farm buildings. He updates us on the situation on his Somerset farm, and tells Charlotte Smith that this year's floods will put a 'huge strain' on the business.The relentless rain is leaving some livestock farmers, especially dairy farmers, with a mucky conundrum. Environmental regulations prevent slurry being spread on the land during the wettest winter months, to reduce the risk of pollution runoff into water courses. That period's now officially over, but many fields are too wet for slurry spreading. Storage space is finite...and with animals winter housed the slurry keeps coming.With increasingly unpredictable weather patterns and rising costs of fertilisers and pesticides, could Artificial Intelligence help arable farmers make their growing season more efficient, and more profitable? The Royal Agricultural University is investigating the use of AI and drones to identify weeds in a wheat crop, so precision treatment can be used to take them out.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

John Mesko, CEO at the Potato Sustainability Alliance, says they help improve the economic, environmental and social aspects of potato production in the U.S. and Canada.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine provides $15,000 grants to farmers who want to grow fruits and vegetables, while phasing out animal agriculture.

In this solo episode, Jean-Martin Fortier reflects on the emotional and ethical dimensions of small-scale farming, especially in the quieter months after a demanding season. He shares why the growing season often requires farmers to simply push through challenges, and why the off-season is the right time to revisit what was hard, both practically and emotionally. Drawing from personal experience, he explores burnout, resilience, and the importance of rest, reflection, and continuous improvement. The episode then turns toward the ethics of local agriculture and the role of human-scale, decentralized food systems in shaping a more resilient future. Jean-Martin closes by revisiting the original vision behind The Market Gardener and why farming remains a meaningful act of commitment to ecology, community, and lifestyle.Timestamps[5:12] A personal encounter that reveals burnout behind meaningful food system work.[9:05] Finishing the season exhausted, uncertain, and emotionally spent.[12:10] Why the off-season is the right moment to revisit what was hard.[17:50] Learning to live with hardship, money stress, and long-term resilience.[26:20] Shifting into winter mode and reflecting on the ethics of local agriculture.[32:05] Books and thinkers that shaped Jean-Martin's views on local and human-scale farming.[44:55] Revisiting the conclusion of The Market Gardener and closing reflections.SponsorsReal Organic Project: Get Involved.

It's projected that nearly 18% of households in the U.S. have at least one individual using GLP1 drugs. That's a trend that's expected to continue, and it has implications for production agriculture. Consumers have cut consumption of many food items, and increased in others. Ben Jarboe finds out how food grade soybeans are handling the adjustments from Scott Sinner the VP of Supply Chain with SB&B foods. Sinner says right now things look bright, and they're hoping the sentiment grows! Sunshine back in the forecast today with above normal temps. Stu Muck says that trend shouldn't change through the weekend. A coalition including agricultural groups gathered just off the square to discuss the price tag the state's been presented for SNAP, known as FoodShare in the state. Stephanie Hoff reports from the Capitol. Approximately 165 entities including the WI Cheesemakers Assn., state Potatoe & Vegetable Growers and WI Pork spoke up on the need for the program. Aside from ensuring families have adequate access to fresh, nutritional food, the program provides certainty for Wisconsin farmers. Rebecca Sweeney, senior director of programs and policy for the WI Cheesemakers Assn. says 8-10% of all FoodShare dollars spent in the state go toward dairy products. She notes that even a 5% drop in grocery store sales would create financial pressure for farmers, food processors and agribusiness. Beef is one of the brighter elements of production agriculture today, but you can always learn something new. Dr. Amy Radunz, animal nutritionist and past president of the WI Cattlemen's Association, says hearing from growers outside the state is helpful. That's why they've invited Tucker Brown, a cattle producer and agriculture advocate from Texas, to share what works for him - and might work in Wisconsin. Too much milk. We're hearing it from analysts, processors and industry leaders. Despite the volume challenges, there's more to come! Jenny Wackershauser, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, says that "spring flush" is just around the corner with more milk cows having calves and coming back into full milk production. Where's it going to go? What's it going to do to prices, and do you have risk management tools in place to protect your operation. She joins Pam Jahnke with some strategies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 5132: SAVE ACT And ICE Funding On The Chopping Block; CCP Taking Over Farms In The US

AI-powered robotic dogs are taking on the job of farm security.

Insurance premiums doubling… tripling… and companies still denying claims. Should you just self-insure and be done with it—or will that decision wreck your finances when disaster hits? In this episode of Farming Without the Bank, we dig into Chapter 8: Building Your Warehouse of Wealth and talk about what self-insuring really looks like using cash value life insurance, and where it absolutely does not make sense to go it alone.

In the first episode of Season 5, we get to talk with Brent and Kira Olsen of Olsen Farms and Smokey Ridge Meats. Olsen Farms is a small family farm located in a mountain valley in Northeastern Washington, just north of Colville. They produce high quality meats from their sustainably raised farm animals. All of their beef, pork and lamb is processed at Smokey Ridge Meats, our own USDA facility in Chewelah, WA. They also grow over 20 varieties of potatoes of various colors, textures, and culinary uses. Olsen Farms is committed to enhancing the rural economy and stewarding farmland for wildlife habitat. Sustainability and direct marketing are the roots of their family farm and strengthening biodiversity is a clear benefit of their farming approach.This episode was funded by the USDA National Institute of Agriculture AFRI Grant #2022-68006-37269 Complexity and tradeoffs in animal agriculture sustainability: building awareness and trust between producers and consumers.The Farm Walks Podcast is collaboratively organized by Tilth Alliance and WSU Food Systems.

Farms and agribusinesses need to stay engaged in conversations. Not just on the state or national scene, but locally. Erin Tomasik, community relations manager, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, says there's a growing need to mobilize member farmers at the local level to ensure agricultural policies remain fair, as many local government officials now lack personal backgrounds in farming. Organizations like the Dairy Business Association are focusing on "boots on the ground" strategies to counter misunderstandings regarding manure hauling, road weight limits, and water quality. Local boards are increasingly discussing ordinances and moratoriums targeting Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), often driven by a fear that they have no say in how large-scale farms operate. Groups such as GROWW (Grassroots Organizing Western Wisconsin) and Midwest Environmental Advocates are providing frameworks to local activists to push for stricter agricultural regulations. While the entire western side of Wisconsin is feeling the pressure—partially due to urban sprawl from Minneapolis—specific areas like St. Croix, Pierce, Crawford, and Portage counties are seeing intense debates. A little light snow is drifting across the state this morning. Stu Muck says we'll see wind chills return to our forecasts, but there is a tick up in temperatures expected next week. So what does the weather prediction model look like for the growing season of 2026? Ben Jarboe poses that question to Alex Harrington, Chief Meteorologist with WISC-TV in Madison. Harrington says forecast the whole growing season might be a little premature, but he does say that current modeling points to a wet spring for planting. Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom is encouraging teachers to apply for a grant that could land them a $5,000 hydroponics system. The goal is to focus on STEM learning skills and hands on experiences in the classroom. Pam Jahnke explains. What does halal and kosher really mean? It's not just marketing, it's a practice focused on specific ethnicities and religious practices. Abdullah Hussaini is the junior vice president of marketing and a commodity broker with Equity Cooperative Livestock. He's also a lamb producer himself. He says as the ethnic make up of Wisconsin and the nation as a whole changes, these niche markets are exploding with opportunity for lamb - IF you know the calendar and how to grow for it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

National Broadband Ireland (NBI), the company responsible for delivering the Government's National Broadband Plan (NBP), has announced its final quarterly update for the contract year ending 31 January 2026, confirming that all surveying and design work is now complete and that 82% of the entire network is built with those premises available for a connection. The remainder (18%) is under construction with the main infrastructure build scheduled to complete this year. Minister for Arts, Culture, Communications, Media and Sport, Patrick O'Donovan, T.D., said: "The progress being delivered under the National Broadband Plan represents one of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects ever undertaken by the State. With the rollout now running ahead of schedule nationally, the scale of achievement is clear and demonstrates what can be delivered through sustained investment and a strong focus on delivery. "Tens of thousands of kilometres of fibre have been laid, and communities right across the country are now seeing the tangible benefits of high-speed connectivity. This programme is transforming rural Ireland and reflects the Government's commitment to ensuring that every home, farm and business, no matter how remote, can participate fully in Ireland's digital future." Performance update: By contract year end (31 January 2026), NBI has delivered: 100% of all surveying and design work is complete; 100% of the network either built or currently under construction; 451,433 premises passed, representing a 33% year-on-year increase; 164,708 premises connected, representing a 43% year-on-year increase. 63,064km of fibre cable laid, enough to circumnavigate the Earth 1.5 times. There are now 451,433 homes, farms and businesses passed with NBI fibre across the National Broadband Plan Intervention Area. When a premises is passed, an order can be placed to connect to high-speed fibre broadband on the NBI network through a choice of over 50 broadband providers actively selling on the network. According to the recent ComReg Quarterly Report, more than one million premises across Ireland are now subscribed to fibre-to-the-home broadband, and National Broadband Ireland is encouraging premises in the Intervention Area to check availability in their area and order today. TJ Malone, Chief Executive Officer, National Broadband Ireland, said: "This year's results demonstrate the sheer scale and momentum of the National Broadband Plan. With every part of the network now designed and either built or under construction, and over 450,000 premises ready to connect, we are firmly into the final delivery phase of this once-in-a-generation infrastructure project. "More than 164,000 homes, farms and businesses are already connected to high-speed fibre on the NBI network, transforming how people live, work and do business in rural Ireland. With the final phase of construction now underway, we are on track to complete the main rollout by the end of this year." NBI's fibre broadband rollout under the National Broadband Plan is delivering broadband services to what is known as the State's Intervention Area, which includes the most remote and rural parts of Ireland where commercial operators have no plans to deliver high-speed broadband. The Intervention Area now stands at 566,000 premises which signals an increase of c.29,000 since the time of contract signing. People living and working in rural Ireland can enter their Eircode on the NBI website, www.nbi.ie, to check if their home or business is included in the rollout and find out how to get connected. As the main rollout phase of NBI's network nears completion, demand for connections continues to grow strongly. 164,708 premises are now connected to the NBI network, with take-up rates continuing to exceed original projections and international benchmarks, particularly in areas where the network has been live for longer. NBI is now fully focused on the final stages of construction and accelerating conn...

Jacob Harriet of Shepherd Farms shares how his background in wildlife management in central Oklahoma shaped the way he uses livestock, prescribed fire, and land restoration to build better habitat and a workable farm business. From starting on a small homestead to managing over 1,240 acres through creative lease agreements, Jacob walks through what has worked, what he learned the hard way, and how grazing fits into a broader land stewardship plan.In This Episode, We Explore:Jacob's path from wildlife law enforcement to using livestock as a habitat toolTurning an over-timbered 80 acres into productive grazing and wildlife habitatUsing rotational grazing to improve land function, manure distribution, and plant recoveryTree and timber management decisions focused on getting sunlight to the groundPrescribed fire vs mechanical clearing for controlling woody encroachment, especially cedarHow burn associations, burn plans, and local support make prescribed fire safer and more practicalManaging land for wildlife needs alongside grazing goals, including turkey and quail habitatFinding and using grants for infrastructure, water, timber work, and prescribed fireBuilding a mixed-species orchard and using chickens to manage pests and understoryA lease model that trades professional habitat management for grazing access across multiple propertiesTracking grazing and land work with mapping tools and documentationWhy This Episode MattersThis conversation is a practical look at connecting grazing, habitat, and land access in a way that works in the real world. If you are trying to improve a neglected property, reduce cedar pressure, learn why prescribed fire matters, or find a creative path to more grazing acres without buying land, Jacob's approach offers clear ideas you can adapt to your own place.Resources MentionedNatural Resource University (podcast network)OnX Hunt Maps (phone app)NRCS (local office support for conservation programs and grants)National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF)Quail ForeverTy Ty Nursery (trees for the orchard)Find Out MoreShepherd Farms | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087351095567 Looking for grass-based breeders? Explore the Grass Based Genetics directory.Upcoming Grazing EventsNoble Profitability Essentials - Jefferson City, Mo, March 24-25, 2026Visit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond Agriculture Grazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey

This week, I'm joined by Brian Moates, Chief Experience Officer at Our Farms, a growing marketplace and movement reshaping how we shop for food and support farmers. Brian has a fascinating background, from motorsports and marketing to building digital-first experiences for brands like Ford and Lincoln, and now he's bringing that expertise to agriculture. In this episode, we talk about how Our Farms connects local producers with consumers in a way that's scalable, human, and values-driven. Brian shares why he's passionate about storytelling, what shifted his view on food and farming, and how his own daughter's health issues led to a deeper understanding of what's really in our food. We also dive into the tech powering this shift, how Our Farms is different from traditional DTC platforms, and why small producers finally have a seat at the table.

For Part 2 of our field trip to Bonton Farms, Camille and Rich sit down with Melissa Metoyer, the Senior Director of Health Equity and Community Impact, to talk about what it really looks like when a neighborhood takes care of each other.This conversation goes deep into health and wellness, but not in the abstract. We talk about real systems. Real people. And real outcomes. From medical and dental care to behavioral health, nutrition, financial stability, and workforce development, Melissa walks us through how Bonton Farms has built an integrated model where everything works together under one roof.What stood out most is how intentional it all is. This isn't charity. It's dignity. It's accountability. It's neighbors supporting neighbors in ways that actually change lives long term.Bonton Farms already had a national reputation for community transformation, but Melissa shares how the work has evolved into something scalable, measurable, and deeply human. This episode is about health equity, but more than that, it's about what happens when a community decides it deserves better and builds the systems to make it happen.If you care about health, wellness, community, or just seeing what's possible when people stop talking and start building, this one is worth your time.Check them out! https://www.bontonfarms.orgConnect with us!

Today on the show, we welcome John Casli of Huckleberry Hill Farms. Huckleberry Hill Farms is a legacy craft cannabis farm nestled in the hills of Southern Humboldt County. Founded by John Casali, who was raised on this very land during the Back to the Land Movement, the farm is built on a deep commitment to sustainability, community, and honoring tradition. After serving 17 years in the federal system for cultivating cannabis, John returned to continue the legacy he began with his late mother, preserving her heirloom genetics and nurturing the land they love. Today, John and his partner Rose Moberly cultivate full-sun, organic cannabis while sharing their story through advocacy, education, and farm tours. Each strain they grow carries history and heart, reflecting a rare lineage, grown with intention, and rooted in the unique terroir of Southern Humboldt.

Some farms in Tai Rawhiti are facing huge clean up jobs and access problems following heavy rain and flooding last week. Mud and slips have cut off roads and communities higher up the coast near Hicks bay and Te Araroa. The Prime Minister has said reconnecting some of those communities could take up to six months with significant damage to State Highwway 35 and SH2. North west of Gisborne some farms near Te Karaka have had river crossing washed out. Federated Farmers Gisborne president Charlie Reynolds spoke to Lisa Owen.

What does it really take to build a reality show from scratch—and keep it yours? Jeff Peiffer and his daughter Rachel, open up about the long road to Flipping Farms, from a hallway pitch and a film festival pivot to self-funding a million-dollar season and weathering a $728K scam. It's a story of stubborn optimism, spreadsheets, and choosing creative control over easy money, set against the unpredictability of farm life and the joy of a father–daughter team pushing design into bold territory.We dig into the business of horses and hard lessons learned. Stall board looks lucrative until the labor hours and human drama stack up; field board reduces friction and protects margins. Along the way, a midnight horse retrieval, a law-and-order standoff, and a check that somehow cleared show why documentation and calm negotiations matter. Then there's design: black interiors, unconventional finishes, and thoughtful sequencing that turn rural properties into standout listings. Skepticism gives way to trust as the finished spaces prove the vision. If you're curious about farm flipping, indie production, or how to sell a property with story and style, this conversation has the practical detail and the heart.We also share how Uncommon Success, our original podcast, became a launchpad, why imaginative pitching and a film festival award changed our trajectory, and how the right producers helped us shape a season without sacrificing values. Expect candid behind-the-scenes moments: the “twin” fix for a beard continuity problem, Steven's whirlwind love story in Africa, and the realities of keeping a content pipeline fresh across seasons.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Jack Huston.
