In this episode, I dive into the return of Sister Wives for Season 19, Episode 21, and share my mixed feelings about the show being both captivating and at times painfully slow. I discuss the unraveling friendship between Meri and Robyn, with Meri's friend Jenn providing some much-needed perspective. I express my disbelief over Janelle's investment in Taeda Farms, questioning the wisdom of putting all her money into raw land without a solid plan. Kody's obsession with appearances is highlighted as he insists Janelle was only interested in him for his looks, while the women seem to have flourished since leaving him. I also recap Meri's recent appearance on Tamron Hall, where she opened up about the family's issues, including jealousy and the impact of COVID-19 on their relationships.

Much of the conversation on AI is focused on power consumption and chatbots, but there are so many other positive applications for the technology. This episode of Utilizing Tech, sponsored by Solidigm, welcomes Keith Bradley, VP of IT at Nature Fresh Farms, discussing with Stephen Foskett⁠⁠ and Jeniece Wnorowski⁠⁠ how they use AI to improve crop yields and plant performance. Farming has traditionally evaluated crop performance on a large-scale basis, but AI enables Nature Fresh Farms to much more carefully tailor care to the needs of the plants. Once a tomato or pepper has been grown, Nature Fresh can use AI to classify, package, and store produce for sale. This requires a great deal of storage for active plants, and Nature Fresh Farms has standardized on solid state storage because of the incredible combination of performance and reliability it brings. It wouldn't be possible to process this much data at the edge without advanced SSDs, processors, and servers.Guest: Keith Bradley, Vice President of Information Technology at Nature Fresh FarmsHosts: ⁠Stephen Foskett⁠, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the ⁠Tech Field Day Event Series⁠⁠Jeniece Wnorowski⁠, Head of Influencer Marketing at ⁠Solidigm⁠ ⁠Scott Shadley⁠, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at ⁠Solidigm⁠Follow Tech Field Day ⁠on LinkedIn⁠, ⁠on X/Twitter,⁠ ⁠on Bluesky⁠, and ⁠on Mastodon⁠.

If you're travelling in mainland Europe this Easter and thinking about possibly bringing back some local delicacies, think again. Following outbreaks of foot and mouth disease in Germany, Hungary and on its border with Slovakia, restrictions on the food you're allowed to bring in, have changed significantly. You are now not allowed to bring in meat or dairy products from any EU country, except for poultry. So how great is the potential for cured meats or cheeses in your suitcase to transmit foot and mouth?Some of the UK's rarest wildlife is being "torched alive" and pushed closer to extinction after weeks of intense grass fires, conservationists have warned.There has been a bit of talk about trade deals this week, with the the US Vice President JD Vance talking about a prospective UK/US agreement, and that's making farmers nervous. They worry that agreements risk undermining them and this week raised concerns over a deal with India, saying it mustn't allow imports of cheaper food, produced to lower standards. The company behind one of the UK's biggest vertical farms has closed. The Jones Food Company which ran indoor farms in Scunthrope and Gloucestershire, as well as a development centre in Bristol, called in the receivers after failing to find new investors. Vertical farms grow crops, mainly herbs and salad leaves, inside on shelving, using special lights to create a warm humid atmosphere which reduces growing time in comparison with conventionally grown crops. But with a number of companies going bust in recent years, is this a viable way to grow food?And as spring is springing, we talk sheep shearing in West Dorset.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Wall Street breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday when President Trump backtracked and announced a 90-day pause on the sweeping tariffs he unveiled last week, dropping the duty rate to 10% for most countries. But it's little reprieve for California farmers who export crops like almonds and pistachios to China. Trump has raised the taxes on imports from China to 125%, and further retaliatory tariffs from China are expected to follow. The California almond industry alone lost nearly $900 million from the trade war with China in Trump's first term. We'll check in with farmers and an economist on the ongoing turmoil's effects on the agriculture industry, nationwide and here in California. And we'll hear what it all could mean for your grocery prices.

Wednesday, April 9 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the dire honeybee situation with the population dwindling and how it's affecting other produce and areas in agriculture, and what beekeepers are suggesting others can do to help.

Next, we're introduced to Chadam Christensen, a 5th generation farmer from Flamig Farm in West Simsbury, CT. Flamig farm began in 1907, and continues today with Chadam's parents, Nevin and Julie, at the helm.

They once had 3 teams of draft horses and did a lot of hayrides, as well as carriage rides for weddings. The mission of Flamig Farm is to be the premier demonstration and education center in New England, focusing on local food production, energy conservation and efficient energy production, and personal wellness and nutrition. They've shifted into an agritourism business with their primary income being with their petting zoo, but also have haunted walkthroughs, host birthday parties and weddings, farm stays, they have chickens with a good amount of eggs, and even offer Animal Reiki. You can learn more about Flamig Farm on Flamigfarm.com.

In this episode of The Moos Room, Brad is back from sunny Florida (and into a snowy Minnesota) to dive into the world of AI in agriculture—and no, we're not talking about artificial insemination. Brad shares his recent experience experimenting with AI-generated audio content and how tools like Google's NotebookLM are changing the way we interact with research.From cow monitoring and health alerts to feeding behavior, milk yield forecasting, and even employee training, artificial intelligence is already showing up on farms in more ways than we might realize. Brad covers the opportunities and challenges AI brings to the dairy world, including data integration issues, false alarms, and maintenance headaches. He also highlights exciting tools like Cattle Care and Cattleytics that are pushing dairy efficiency and management forward.Whether you're AI-curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, this episode explores what AI can do with human intelligence—not instead of it.Cattle-Care AI Video MonitoringCattleyticsQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Barbara Meza, Director of Human Resources at Taylor Farms and Taylor Harvesting, to talk about her inspiring journey in agriculture and leadership.Barbara opens up about starting her career at Ocean Mist Farms to help support her family and how that role unexpectedly turned into a lifelong passion—especially after becoming a single mother. She candidly discusses overcoming self-doubt, navigating a male-dominated industry, and the power of programs like the Women Ag Academy in building her confidence and sense of community.Through stories of mentorship, personal growth, and resilience, Barbara shares the pivotal moments that shaped her—like being entrusted with building an HR department and learning to reframe even the most tedious work tasks with deeper purpose. She also opened up about being raised by a strong single mother, facing painful judgment from family, and using that adversity to push herself further. Her mother—who also worked in ag—instilled in her a deep sense of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. It was powerful to hear how those early lessons continue to shape her leadership today.This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth comes from discomfort, confidence is often seen before it's felt, and when women support women, amazing things happen.Barbara Meza: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-meza-phr-87064250/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Barbara Meza, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Clem provides contact details for farmers interested in learning more or having their agricultural tires repaired. What is Tire Section Repair? A tire section repair is a specialized process that addresses moderate to severe tire damage, including issues with sidewalls, faces, and shoulders. Unlike typical tire repairs that work for light damage, tire section repairs can restore a tire to its original function, potentially extending its lifespan for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement. These repairs require specific tools and skilled technicians, making it more appropriate for larger, specialized agricultural equipment. Tune in to hear more about how tire section repairs can benefit your farm, save you money, and keep your machinery in top shape! Thanks for tuning in, Tracy Brunet =================================

Wednesday, April 2 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on what's going on with our federal government and some of the programs that've been important for American farmers, Bayer and Monsanto fight to take away Americans' right to know about pesticide toxicity and take away the right to sue these companies for failure to warn consumers, a push to cut down the price of eggs amid continued avian influenza concerns, and consumers swapping hen eggs for turkey eggs. Then, Doug introduces us to Jim Lowe, the owner of Lowe Family Farmstead in Kuna, ID. Lowe Family Farmstead is Idaho's most popular fall destination with their biggest time of year being the fall. They hav u-pick pumpkin options, an acclaimed corn-maze, raising beef and other livestock, too. Other options for guests, include an authentic tractor-drawn hayride, wandering through their beautiful flower field, enjoying some farm-fresh food, and of course, and more. Jim grew up farming and ranching but didn't have a generational family farm to grow with his family. A common discussion on the American Family Farmer program is the difficulty first generation farmers face without an inheritance of land, making it nearly impossible to become a farmer. Jim has a degree in Ag Business, so the idea of agritourism appealed as a niche market that could overcome the obstacles of traditional agriculture, which he and his wife, Hillary, moved forward with the efforts. Years later, they have their Lowe Family Farmstead, offering a creative twist on agriculture that taps into the heart of Idaho. You can find more information, and plan your own visit, on LoweFamilyFarmstead.com. Lastly, Doug shares his final thoughts and opinions on the privilege it truly is to be a farmer, why family farming is such a tough business, reflecting on what farming is really all about, and why it's a calling. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
