Today on Consuming the Craft, I welcomed Adam Bachman, the head production distiller and manager at The Chemist. We dove deep into the craft of distilling, from Adam's 11+ years of commercial experience in the industry to the evolution of American single malt whiskey. Adam shared stories from his early days building stills (legally for essential oils!), his academic path through biochemistry at Clemson, and how he transitioned through South Carolina's changing landscape of craft distilleries. We tasted some truly unique spirits and beers, including a locally smoked single malt and an oat whiskey, while discussing the challenges and creative opportunities in the world of craft distillation. Adam Bachman is recognized for his hands-on expertise in distilling whiskey, gin, and liqueurs, with a strong background in biochemistry and a minor in chemistry. He spent six years at 6 and 20 Distillery before moving to Asheville to join The Chemist, where he's helped ramp up whiskey programs, develop new recipes like the limited-edition rye, and recently barrel a small batch peated whiskey. Adam approaches distilling as both art and science, with a passion for experimenting with malts, grains, and local ingredients, and a deep appreciation for how changing techniques shape the identity of each spirit. "Getting second opinions is huge. I always try to get second opinions from the other guys working with us." ~Adam Bachman Today on Consuming the Craft:·     Adam has over a decade of legal, commercial distilling experience and is responsible for spirit production at The Chemist. ·     His background in biochemistry directly informs his craft, providing unique perspectives and technical skills in distilling. ·     The Chemist uses traditional copper pot stills with direct flame; the techniques and nuances are vastly different from hybrid steam systems. ·     Chemist has evolved from a primarily gin-focused operation to a distillery with robust whiskey and rye programs, with Adam leading recipe development. ·     Adam's approach to whiskey includes blending different grains and experimenting with malts to create spirits with depth and complexity, notably in their limited rye and upcoming peated whiskey. ·     Tasting and understanding barrel-aging is a skill built over years, requiring constant monitoring, collaboration, and experience. ·     The growth of American single malt whiskey is opening up new creative possibilities; it's a rapidly growing category with endless flavor options. ·     Adam is also exploring non-alcoholic spirit development, navigating the unique sensory and shelf-life challenges in that emerging market. Connect with Adam: ·     The Chemist Spirits: https://www.chemistspirits.com/·     Instagram: @chemistspirits Resources Mentioned: ·     Oak & Grist (peach wood single malt): https://oakandgrist.com/·     Riverbend Malt House (local malt supplier): https://riverbendmalt.com/·     Brevard Brewing Company (Dunkel): http://www.brevard-brewing.com  ·     Ginger's Revenge (collaboration partner): https://www.gingersrevenge.com/·     Seedlip (non-alcoholic spirits): https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/          http://www.chemistspirits.com/  This episode is brought to you by… McConnell Farms - Taste the Way You Remember.

Joe Heinrich comes from a multi-generation Iowa farming family. As executive director of the non-profit Farm-to-Power, he's helping farmers to navigate the new world of renewable energy. Solar and wind developers are looking for land, which farmers have; farmers are looking for extra income steams, which energy can provide. But what happens to land with utility-scale energy installations? Some farmers are making sure that the panels are high enough off the ground that cattle can graze under them—and take advantage of the shade they provide. Others are grazing sheep under the panels, providing landscaping services and keeping the land healthy. Still others are growing crops. All of these are examples of agrovoltaics, or what Heinrich calls "double cropping"—harvesting food and energy at the same time.

During their first full season, Rick and Rose Bengtson of Ice Moon Farms suffered catastrophic damage from wind and flooding. As devastating as that was, they bounced back and we can learn from the way they rebuilt and the strategies they used to prolong cashflow later into the fall to make up for some of the income they missed in the summer. One of those strategies was holiday wreaths and amaryllis- another was using light deprivation to get chrysanthemums to bloom earlier. Learn how this worked out in practice and considerations if you're thinking of doing the same thing. Plus, hear about their homemade bed shaper, their pest and other challenges, how they overcome them and more in this week's podcast interview. Connect With Guest:Facebook: @icemoonfarmsllcInstagram: @icemoonfarmsllc Free companion article:All about chrysanthemums by Rebecca Kutzer-Rice from Growing for Market Magazine Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: There are a lot of farm sales platforms out there, but there's only one that's cooperatively owned by farmers. That's GrownBy — your all-in-one solution to simplify farm sales.

In the final Hunt Companion of the season, we break down why this window right now matters more than most hunters realize. As bucks begin to shed and the woods transition into winter, this is the time when next season is quietly being decided. We talk through how we're shifting gears into the new year, evaluating the season that was, and laying the groundwork for what's ahead through offseason land management, habitat work, and farm planning. From timber and planting projects to setting priorities for the months ahead, this is the work that gives us the best opportunity at a mature buck next fall. It's time to lock in during the offseason and focus on the moves that most hunters overlook. Thanks for always supporting us, and we'll catch you guys next time.

A 2026 campaign spotlights women transforming California's agricultural industry.

Dan Bongino declares total war on black-pillers and grifters (many amplified by paid bot armies) trying to sabotage MAGA from within, especially as midterms loom. Marjorie Taylor Greene's explosive final day in Congress — is the backlash real or bot-farm manufactured division? Geopolitics: U.S. moves on Venezuelan oil (seizures, handovers, resource plays) with Greenland's strategic riches in the crosshairs. And the ultimate red-pill twist — how superior intelligence can drive you to madness in a world overrun by AI bot farms pushing propaganda, defeatism, and fake engagement to break minds and movements. No holds barred — truth over comfort.

If you're not hungry already, today’s show is bound to whet your appetite. Host Ali Muldrow speaks with local foodie, Lindsay Christians, about all the good eats of 2025. They talk about what bars, cafes, food carts, fast casual chains, and bakeries closed and opened in 2025, and what they're looking forward to in 2026. There's a lot of promise on the horizon: from the opening of Ahan's new companion bar across from their current location on Willy St., Ledger Coffee Roaster's new location on Winnebago St., Baked Lab's new brick and mortar in Atwood, and Hot & Spicy's new, larger location next door to Viet Hoa Market. And Christians breaks down the desert spots–by desert variety, no less–that she's looking forward to. They also talk about food journalism, what goes into writing a food review, and why Christians avoids takeout food. Lindsay Christians is the food and culture editor at The Capital Times in Madison, Wisconsin. She is the author of two books, “Madison Chefs: Stories of Food, Farms and People” and “The Osteria Papavero Cookbook: Recipes from the Italian shack and beyond” with Francesco Mangano.

In the first episode of 2026, Emily and Brad kick off a New Year's “resolution” to record more episodes together and dive into one of their favorite themes: management. The conversation is sparked by a German case study Brad found that followed 10 German dairy herd managers (average ~600 cows; range 200–1,200) for three weeks, tracking their work minute-by-minute to see how managers spend time—and what actually drives herd performance.The key concept is “controlling activities,” defined as proactive checks and analysis (not just reacting and “putting out fires”). They break these into three categories: animal controls (pen walks, fresh/sick cow monitoring, reviewing sensor alerts), feeding controls (bunk/refusal checks, feed sampling, monitoring mixing and storage), and process controls (reviewing herd records, equipment checks, ventilation/manure systems, cleanliness).A big takeaway: herd managers spent much of their day on communication and logistics, while only about 15% of time went to controlling activities (animal ~9%, feeding ~1%, process ~5%). Yet the study found that performance wasn't linked to total hours worked, but to how much time was dedicated to these proactive controls. Farms where managers spent more time on controlling activities showed better outcomes, including lower mortality, lower somatic cell count, higher lifetime production, and reduced youngstock losses.They also highlight a concerning “disconnect” around feeding: managers often had minimal involvement in feed-related controls even though feed is a major cost and driver of health and production. The episode closes with practical guidance for any farm size: prioritize time intentionally, increase proactive controlling activities (even slightly), and ensure herd managers stay connected to the feeding process—setting the tone for a more efficient, resilient 2026.Questions, 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 of the Livin' in San Diego Podcast, Chris and Cassidy kick things off with a weekend recap that takes a few unexpected turns, from a run-in with five coyotes to a real talk moment on full self-driving and how close (or not) the tech actually feels. Cassidy brings a total change of scenery with a trip to Buffalo to catch the Bills in person and experience football in a very different climate.In New, To Do, and Adieu, we hit what's new around town, what's worth putting on your calendar, and one local favorite saying goodbye.The San Diego Story of the Week dives into a side of San Diego most people overlook. It's not just beaches and burritos. We talk about the massive role agriculture plays here, why small farms dominate the county, and why buying local makes a bigger impact than most people realize.We wrap it up with a more personal question for Cassidy about what she's focused on outside of work right now.

A round up of seasonal offerings from Farming Today.The charity Farms for City Children turns 50 this year. Set up by writer Michael Morpurgo and his wife in 1976, the charity works to connect children with farming and the countryside. Fiona Clampin dons her wellies and joins the Morpurgos at their farm in Devon.Farming life is full of traditions, and we hear from Rathfriland Livestock Market in County Down about one of these: the luck penny. Farmers selling their animals hand money back to the buyer, to seal the deal. It's a way of wishing the customer success with the stock and building up a trustworthy business relationship. Kathleen Carragher visits Rathfriland to find out whether it's still practised today.Tradition also abounds at one brewery in Oxfordshire, which still uses heavy horses to deliver barrels of beer to local pubs. Vernon Harwood meets three of the shire horses delivering horse-powered pints.Work is being carried out in orchards to DNA fingerprint cider apple trees to identify varieties whose names died with the people who created them, or were never named. The aim: to secure the future of forgotten cider apple varieties.

Matt Dye discusses herd dynamics and deer densities on three different recreational farms across three different states. He highlights the importance of balancing herd density with habitat improvements. As this is the only way to see the farm's full maximized value. Farm 1 in Ohio, 959 acres, has a high deer density of 196 deer per square mile, necessitating a reduction from 295 deer to 110 per square mile over four years. Farm 2 in Kentucky, 580 acres, has a lower density of 111 deer per square mile and requires a similar reduction strategy. Farm 3, a 1500-acre timbered farm with high fencing, has a one-to-one buck-to-doe ratio and a high fawn recruitment rate, requiring a focus on reducing lower-quality bucks and maintaining doe harvest. These three examples emphasize the need for comprehensive herd and habitat management. Trophy deer hunting requires a fluid and engaged habitat management and herd management program. Without either, you will be lacking!

Celebrate the New Year with some fabulous guests from New Jersey to Pennsylvania! We're celebrating the end of 2025 and beginning 2026 with The Monterey Grill, Dolce Italian inside the W Hotel, and cheers-ing a toast at Space Bar! *Food Farms And Chefs Radio Show, Episode 342

>> This series was first released in Nov/Dec 2019. We are re-releasing it now 6 years later as we are digging back in to document the collective impact of the series and to celebrate the work of those continuing to build the new grains movement. As part of this project we are collecting voice notes from anyone who listened, inviting you to share a bit of how Cereal impacted you and whether the series sparked any change or action, big or small - maybe it made you think differently about something, or maybe you completely changed career - we want to hear both and all stories! The voice notes will form part of a new Farmerama episode and digital soundmap. We are collecting these stories now, so if you would like to send your story our way, then you can send us an audio message on: WhatsApp +447466301300, or via our instagram messages. Please let us know who you are, where you are based and then whatever part of your story you would like to share. We are excited to hear from you! >> Intensive chemical (or conventional) farming systems can be incredibly efficient in perfect conditions, but in a global climate emergency this method of farming is out of date. We hear how soil health, biodiversity and regenerative farming are enabling farmers to move to a new system of farming that is nutritious for humans and the land. What is the experience of farmers growing the wheat, that's ground to flour, that makes our bread? We explore why farmers are moving away from intensive chemical systems to more ecological approaches, why farmers are reclaiming their autonomy, detaching themselves from exploitative commodity markets, re-building connections with seed breeders, millers, bakers, and consumers – and once again finding reasons to celebrate diversity and distinctiveness. The radical changes that bread has undergone are revealing of much wider truths about our relationships with food, to farmers, with the land, the environment, and with each other. If you eat food, you have a stake in this story.

What if caring for land goes beyond soil tests, nutrients, and visible inputs?In this episode of The Backyard Bouquet Podcast, Jennifer is joined by Brittney Herrera, founder and creative director of Thunder Egg, to explore the concept of geotuning—a practice often described as acupuncture for the land.Through her work, Brittney helps harmonize land and spaces by identifying and correcting geopathic stress, subtle disruptions in the Earth's natural field that can impact people, plants, animals, and the overall vitality of a place. Brittney recently worked with Jennifer to tune her new farm property, and after experiencing the process firsthand, Jennifer felt this was a conversation worth sharing with the flower-growing and land-stewarding community.Together, they keep the conversation grounded and practical, discussing how geopathic stress can show up on farms and gardens, how geotuning works in real spaces, and how this approach can complement regenerative agriculture and soil-first practices. They also explore the role of water, copper, frequency, and ancient land wisdom—and how listening more deeply to the land can support long-term resilience and harmony.This episode is an invitation to curiosity. Whether you're a flower farmer, gardener, or someone who feels deeply connected to the land you care for, this conversation offers a new lens for understanding what it means to truly listen to a place.Connect with Brittney Herrera & Thunder EggThunder Egg: https://www.thunderegg.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thunder_egg_collaborative/Geotune: https://www.geotune.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/geotune_energy/Brittney Herrera: https://www.brittneyherrera.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittney_herrera_designer/Mentioned in Today's Episode: Braiding Sweetgrass: by Robin Wall Kimmerer: https://amzn.to/4s5HQhwSign up for our podcast newsletter: https://bit.ly/thefloweringfarmhousenewsletter***Join Us At The Profitable Dahlia Summit***The first-ever virtual summit focused exclusively on growing dahlias for profit is here!Join us March 3–4, 2026 to learn from experienced dahlia growers who are selling bouquets, tubers, CSA shares, event tickets, and more — and doing it profitably.You'll walk away with real strategies to turn your passion into income, even if you're just getting started.

Hello to you listening in Hannover, Germany!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  Once upon a time long ago and far away there lived a farmer. His most treasured possession was a fine stallion. Oh my, said the neighbors: what good fortune to own such a fine horse! Perhaps, said the farmer.One night the stallion ran off in a storm. Oh no, said the neighbors, what a disaster to lose your horse! Perhaps, said the farmer.But after some time the stallion came back and following him a mare and a pony. Oh my, said the neighbors: what good fortune! You had no horses and now you have 3! Perhaps, said the farmer.        One day the farmer's son galloped off on the mare, hit the branch of a tree, fell to the ground, and badly broke his leg. Neighbors found him, carried him home and said, Oh no, what a disaster for your poor son. Perhaps, said the farmer.The son was in bed with his broken leg when a tribe from the north descended on the village. Every able-bodied man and boy went out to defend their homes and farms. Many died that day. But the farmer's son who could not fight —through no fault of his own— was spared. Oh my, said the neighbors, what good fortune your son was spared! Perhaps, said the farmer.And so the old ones say that just beneath good fortune crouches disaster but always perched above disaster one finds good fortune and it is impossible to know which is really which.Story Prompt: Life shows up in such integrated complexity, how can we know whether what happens is good or bad?  What about you?

Matt Goble joins the Grazing Grass Podcast to share how he's built a profitable, resilient wool sheep operation in a high-elevation mountain valley using entirely private and marginal land. While working a full-time W-2 job, Matt manages 450 ewes with a strong focus on grazing efficiency, soil health, and thoughtful breeding decisions. His system blends management-intensive grazing, cover crops, and perennial pastures, all adapted to a short growing season and limited irrigation.In this episode, we cover:Grazing irrigated pasture and marginal land in a mountain valleyUsing cover crops to build soil before establishing perennial pastureManaging sheep with daily and multi-day grazing movesLambing systems, jug management, and efficiency at scaleBreeding strategies for maternal traits and terminal lambsUsing ear notching and simple visual systems to reduce decision fatiguePredator pressure and why net fencing matters for sheepBalancing stocking rates during drought yearsAdding chickens and turkeys to improve soil and diversify incomeMatching enterprise scale to land capacity and lifestyle goalsWhy This Episode Matters: This conversation is a clear example of how management, not acres, often determines success. Matt shows how intentional grazing, simple systems, and observation can double productivity without doubling land or inputs. His practical insights into lambing efficiency, breeding decisions, and drought planning offer valuable lessons for anyone managing livestock on limited or challenging ground.Resources Mentioned:The Soil Owner's Manual by John StikaThe Art and Science of Shepherding (Premier 1 Supplies)Field Area Measure (mobile app)Find Out More:Facebook: Dry Bottom FarmsSnow College Agriculture Department (Utah) Looking for Livestock that thrive on grass?  Check out Grass Based GeneticsUpcoming Grazing EventsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond AgricultureGrazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey

It's hardly a secret that American food companies rely heavily on undocumented immigrants for physical labor. Whether it's the laborers who tend livestock and cultivate crops or workers behind the scenes in meatpacking and other agricultural production plants, our food system is powered by a cheap, willing and, often, undocumented workforce. Yet, intensified immigration enforcement, such as ICE raids, has triggered labor shortages across the food system. And before you think something silly to yourself like “great more opportunity available for native-born workers now,” really consider how many unemployed U.S. citizens (living in a city) would move to a rural area, perform backbreaking work daily, and take an almost 40% percent pay cut (compared to the average nonfarm wage)? Most Americans understand that farm laborers aren't easy to replace. In fact, during the 2024 election cycle, 75% of registered voters believed undocumented immigrants mostly fill jobs US citizens don't want to do. Nevertheless, this isn't about offering amnesty to all undocumented immigrants, but I think our country needs commonsense immigration solutions…especially those focused on safeguarding critical industries that rely on migrant labor. And maybe it should begin with a clearer pathway for migrant farm workers to earn legal status…along with expanding access to the H-2A visa program for non-seasonal agricultural industries.

In February, American President Donald Trump signed an executive order which said that South African Afrikaners - descendants of mainly Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th Century - could be admitted as refugees in the USA as they were "victims of unjust racial discrimination". President Trump's move to prioritise the resettlement of white South African farmers reignited global controversy when he referenced what he has described as a “genocide” against white farmers. Thousands of South Africans have now applied for refugee status in the USA, and are waiting to potentially relocate there. Farmers in South Africa are predominantly white, but farmers and farm workers of all races fear theft and violent crime in the country. Claire Mawisa is a reporter for BBC Africa Eye and recently travelled to meet farmers in South Africa. Kings, or chiefs, in Ghana don't hold much formal or political power, but they are hugely important to people and hold a lot of cultural and social influence. But there are also powerful royal women in Ghana. They've held power in certain parts of the country for a long time, but it seems their influence is now on the rise. It is a story that caught the eye of Stefania Okereke of BBC Focus on Africa. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi. Produced by Caroline Ferguson and Laura Thomas.

Farms today run more digital systems than ever before — GPS-guided equipment, grain accounting software, cloud-connected records, automated livestock and irrigation controls, and online financial tools. And that shift has put agriculture squarely into the Top 10 most-targeted industries for cyberattacks.In this episode, we sit down with Chris Sherman, founder of TechSupport.Farm, who specializes in helping farmers and ag businesses protect their operations from online threats. Chris breaks down why farms are becoming major hacker targets, the attacks he sees most often, and the simple ways producers can safeguard their data, their money, and their equipment.We explore real farm-level risks such as:Phishing emails disguised as invoices, USDA notices, or dealer updatesRansomware that locks up grain software, field maps, GPS data, or entire farm serversExtortion scams demanding bitcoinAttempts to infiltrate connected systems like grain dryers, feed mills, and irrigation controlsChris explains where farm data actually lives — on equipment, in cloud systems, or in software platforms — and what farmers need to understand about data ownership, platform security, and privacy.Then we move into practical, easy-to-apply cybersecurity steps every farm can start today:Creating strong password policies (12+ characters)Using password managersTurning on two-factor authenticationUpgrading email security with spam and phishing filtersSeparating home WiFi from business and equipment WiFiTracking who has login accessKeeping offline backups of critical filesTraining your family and employees to spot digital red flagsChris also shares real-world stories from farms he's helped — the scams that worked, the ones that were caught in time, and the mistakes he sees repeated across operations of all sizes.Whether you run a large operation or a small family farm, cybersecurity is now part of running the business. This episode will help you protect what you've built, stay ahead of threats, and keep hackers out of your data, your money, and your equipment. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

A self-proclaimed whistleblower's post has gone viral on the r/UFOS subreddit. They claim, through their work as a government contractor, that they have become privy to an intergalactic wager made by aliens betting on our survival in a future war we fight against bugs. Tight! But that's just a side note to what she claims is the real alien coverup: that a communist version of our planet exists on a nearby star system – and that the US government is doing everything in its power to make sure we don't discover that they are doing a LOT better than we are.
