This episode examines how heat stress affects water intake in dairy cows—and why farms must prepare their watering systems for increasingly hot weather.A review of studies from 1985–2024 found that Holstein cows producing roughly 65–70 pounds of milk averaged about 24 gallons of water per day under thermoneutral conditions. During heat stress, intake increased by approximately 10 liters, or 2–3 gallons, per cow per day. Each one-unit increase in the temperature-humidity index was associated with another 1.5 liters of water intake. Although heat-stressed cows produce less milk, they drink more because the additional water supports evaporative cooling and body-temperature regulation.Data from the University of Minnesota's dairy herd revealed a more complicated picture. smaXtec sensors showed that cows averaged around 23 gallons per day, but estimated intake declined during summer. Possible reasons include warmer drinking water, pasture water access, competition at waterers, and changes in drinking behavior. Cows generally drank only four or five times per day, consuming roughly 14–20 liters at each visit. Peak drinking also shifted from midafternoon in winter to around 7 p.m. in summer, often after milking.These patterns highlight the importance of examining when cows drink—not just daily totals. Farms should ensure adequate water flow, tank capacity, access, and cool water during peak-use periods. Sensor readings are most valuable when compared with each cow's normal behavior and interpreted alongside weather, milk production, rumination, health events, and management changes.The central message is that water intake can be a useful indicator of heat stress, but unexpected changes should prompt investigation rather than an automatic conclusion. As extreme heat becomes more common, dairy water systems must be designed for peak demand rather than historical averages.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 

Each day offers new examples of America's pell-mell rush to join Western European nations in surrendering to Islam's stealthy conquest: Democratic primaries across the country are nominating sharia-supremacists or Marxist-jihadists like Zohran Mamdani, largely thanks to Muslim bloc-voting. Churches that are not mysteriously catching fire are being bought and transformed into mosques. Farms and other properties are turning into Muslim-only communities – and, predictably, future no-go zones – like the notorious EPIC City in Texas.  Now, Democratic legislators in Massachusetts want to establish a permanent “Government Islam Commission” to promote Muslims for state jobs and otherwise advance their sharia-adherent agenda.  Unsurprisingly, such serial accommodations are emboldening the jihadists here, causing them to espouse ever more openly America's submission to sharia. It's high time we say “No.” BanSharia.com. This is Frank Gaffney.

In this fun and wide-ranging episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two sets of guests who are all about helping kids see the world—and themselves—differently. First, Jed chats with Candice Wierzbowski and Eric Hurlock, two of the creative voices behind The Super Smart Farm Show, a kids' podcast from Lancaster Farming newspaper. They talk about helping children understand where food really comes from and why farming matters to everyone, even city kids. Eric explains how the show answers playful questions like, "Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?" while sneaking in real science, nature, and STEAM learning. Candice shares how they use silly, talking animal characters, quizzes, and kid-submitted questions to keep young listeners actively engaged. Along the way, they explore topics like cow "myths," farm smells, cow farts' reputation in climate conversations, and the real challenges facing family farmers today. In the second half, Jed welcomes Kiyoko Hairston, author of the self-published picture book Freeda's Fabnificent Feet. Kiyoko introduces Freeda, a girl with very large feet who's teased at her new school—until those same feet help her save an elderly woman in a runaway wheelchair. Freeda then teams up with other kids whose "big" features become their superpowers. Drawing from her own childhood experience of being teased, Kyoko talks about shame, confidence, and her mission to help kids see that what makes them different is exactly what makes them powerful—and that, truly, no one can fill your shoes.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark is joined by Leah and Quint Pottinger, owners of Affinity Farms, for a fascinating conversation about the critical role agriculture plays in creating exceptional bourbon. Quint shares the remarkable history of his family's farm, which dates back to the late 1700s, making him a ninth-generation farmer. Together, Leah and Quint discuss their individual backgrounds, how they found themselves working together on the farm, and their commitment to preserving both the land and their family's legacy for generations to come. The conversation also explores the cutting-edge technology being implemented at Affinity Farms, including autonomous seeding and other precision agriculture practices that are helping shape the future of farming while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Mark, Leah, and Quint then dive into the world of growing grains specifically for the bourbon industry. Quint explains how relationships with distilleries are built, the extensive planning required long before a crop is ever planted, and what it takes to consistently produce grain that meets a distillery's exact specifications. They also discuss the fascinating ways that soil composition, field location, growing conditions, and even neighboring vegetation can influence the flavor characteristics of the grain and, ultimately, the whiskey itself. Along the way, they enjoy three exceptional pours: Rock Hill Farms Single Barrel Bourbon Preservation Distillery Pot Distilled Single Barrel Rye (crafted exclusively from grains grown by Affinity Farms) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C917 Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, a whiskey nerd, or simply someone who appreciates the stories behind the bottle, this episode offers a unique look at where bourbon truly begins—long before the mash bill reaches the distillery.

This autumn's been positive for farmers, with less debt and an improved relationship with banks. Agricultural lending dropped $1.4 billion to $61.2 billion in the year to April. A Federated Farmers survey also reveals record satisfaction with bank communication, with fewer farmers feeling undue pressure. Banking Spokesperson Mark Hooper told Ryan Bridge that banks are currently competing quite strongly for a share of the rural market, which in turn drives good service. He says a good relationship tends to override a lot of other outcomes – there may be variations in interest rates, but if they have good communication and a good relationship, people tend to be more satisfied.

In this episode of The Ash Said It Show, I had an exclusive interview with Ben Ripple, the visionary CEO and co-founder of Big Tree Farms, to uncover the truth behind ethical agriculture and global food sustainability. With over 20 years of expertise on the ground in Indonesia, Ben shares the untold story of how his brand is revolutionizing the industry by bridging the gap between smallholder farmers and conscious consumers worldwide. We dive deep into the critical distinction between "sustainability"—which often aims only to maintain the status quo—and "regenerative" agriculture, which actively heals the planet. Ben explains that when you choose products like Big Tree Farms' organic Coconut Aminos, you are supporting a supply chain that leaves the land and the farming community more resilient than before the harvest. Our conversation reveals the surprising, powerful intersection of soil health and human happiness. Working directly with over 19,000 smallholder farmers, Ben explains how moving away from industrial chemical models has restored economic agency, pride, and dignity to these communities. It is a profound lesson in how agricultural reform is, at its core, a human rights and wellness initiative. For shoppers feeling overwhelmed by greenwashing in the supermarket aisle, Ben provides an essential, actionable rule of thumb: demand radical transparency. He emphasizes that if a brand cannot name their farmers or articulate their sourcing story, they likely lack a genuine, ethical relationship with their supply chain. True, high-quality food brands should always be able to tell you the "Who" and the "Why" behind the product. Reflecting on his journey since moving to Bali in 2003, Ben discusses how his definition of success has evolved from local preservation to global, market-driven conservation. He argues that the old industrial model is broken and that the only viable way forward for global food brands is to treat their supply chains as living, interdependent ecosystems rather than linear, extractive pipelines. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in conscious consumerism, regenerative farming, and the future of healthy, ethical living.

We looked at challenges farmers are facing , dairy farmers in particular as they try to look after animals that were not designed for these temperatures and adapt to climate shifts. Vet Ryan Duffy works with Animal Health Ireland. He is a specialist in Heat Stress in Dairy Cows.

This week we invited Lee Hodo, a veteran in marketing and promotion of wine and destination brands, who is leading the charge to showcase the amazing wines from this historical yet lesser-known AVA. Lee brought winemakers from three of the top Wineries in the area; Lava Cap, Edio from Delfino Farms and Starfield Vineyards. At between 1,200ft-3,500ft, elevation is one of the defining features of the region. As air hits the Sierra Nevada Mountains it is forced to rise through orographic uplift. As the air rises, the adiabatic process causes cooling at a rate of around 4 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000ft of elevation gain. As a result, ambient air temperatures in the region are between 10-15 degrees cooler than the Central Valley below. The complex topography of El Dorado further distinguishes the region as a location for a diversity of premium grapes. As the sun sets, cool air from the Sierra Nevada settles in low lying pockets, creating areas of cold night-time air surrounded by relatively warmer hillside and hilltop sites. Lastly, the diverse soils offer a panoply of geologic and geographic settings that ensure maximum flavors will be concentrated within the grapes. Primary attributes of soils that are important to growers include, among others: mineral composition, soil texture, soil thickness, depth of root penetration, water retention properties, and resistance to erosion. The bulk of the vineyards in El Dorado are planted in young volcanic, granitic, and slate soils. www.lavacap.com www.starfieldvineyards.com www.delfinofarms.com lee@leehodo.com www.thewinemakerspodcast.com

Small-scale producers often struggle to get their goods to consumers, while buyers eager to support local farms find it difficult to connect. Lauren Lovejoy, founder of the Red Hen App, is solving both problems.Lauren's journey into farming wasn't one she expected. “I am a farmer. I am a first generation,” she explained, adding, “Never thought in a million years I would be a farmer.” Facing health challenges led her to embrace farming and clean eating, ultimately inspiring her to create the Red Hen App.Designed to function much like marketplaces such as Etsy or Airbnb, the app offers a simple, efficient platform for small farms to list their produce, meat, and other goods. Customers can search, purchase, and either pick up locally, arrange delivery, or have items shipped. “Farming is very difficult, and buying shouldn't be difficult,” Lauren pointed out. “Let's make this world easier.”Lauren revealed the app now boasts participation from farms in 49 states, giving farmers across the country a way to find customers and thrive. “There are farmers in every corner of the country that wanted more access and wanted to make it easier,” she said.To fund the development and scaling of the app, Lauren turned to regulated crowdfunding. Previously, she executed a successful Honeycomb Credit campaign and is currently raising funds on Wefunder. Discussing the financial realities, she said, “Tech is expensive… I bootstrapped the whole first two-thirds of the app.” Now, with the platform proven, she's partnering with investors to expand its reach and impact.Lauren's passion for enabling small farms to succeed and connecting consumers to local food feels contagious—and her entrepreneurial journey is inspiring. By supporting her crowdfunding campaign or downloading the app, you can help her vision thrive.Learn more about the Red Hen App at RedHenApp.com or invest via Wefunder.tl;dr:Lauren Lovejoy created the Red Hen App to connect small-scale farmers directly with consumers.The app supports farmers in 49 states, helping them list and sell goods more easily.Inspired by health challenges, Lauren became both a farmer and tech entrepreneur.Lauren is raising funds for the app's development and growth via a Wefunder campaign.Her superpower, observational problem-solving, drives her passion for sustainable solutions.How to Develop Observational Problem-Solving As a SuperpowerLauren's ability to observe problems and craft solutions is remarkable. She shared, “We see a problem and we want to solve it… not only for us, we want to solve it for everybody else.” Lauren's journey into farming and entrepreneurship is a testament to this superpower. Struggling with health and access to clean, local food inspired her to farm and create the Red Hen App, revolutionizing the connection between farmers and consumers.Lauren's farming experience showcases her observational skills. Each day, she assesses her farm's changing needs due to weather, seasons, or environmental factors. For example, when heavy rain impacts the soil, she moves her animals to protect and regenerate the land for future growth. This mindset helps her actively improve the ecosystem while producing food sustainably.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Be Conscious of Problems: Notice recurring challenges and reflect deeply on them.Identify Patterns: Figure out what triggers the issues and consider long-term solutions.Simplify Solutions: Focus on making every day processes easier for yourself and others.Engage with Your Environment: Adapt responses to shifting challenges, such as weather or market changes.Act on Your Observations: Don't just spot issues—take steps to address them meaningfully.By following Lauren's example and advice, you can make observational problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Multiple generations are getting ready to welcome visitors for the 2026 WI Farm Technology Days event. Redetzke's No Joke Dairy outside of Stratford has a story to share about family working together and making a farm work. Bob Bosold visits with family members Sam Redetzke and brother Matt on how they juggle schedules with off farm duties to keep the wheels rolling. The state's largest outdoor agriculture event is coming up July 14-16. Heat returns to Wisconsin. Stu Muck says we won't likely reach the 90's but it will be warmer. Things should stay dry until at least Thursday according to the forecast. Today's investment in agriculture aren't just about technology and engineering. Farms and farmers depend on people for good advice and service on the technology that they're investing in. Our example today is Lake Effect Farm in the Plymouth area. Brad Laack, the owner/operator of the farm, has placed a lot of trust in Tim Schultz, owner and operator of Schultz's Interstate Ag in Monroe. Schultz's provides state-of-the-art grain handling technology across the Midwest, including Lake Effect Farm. Schultz visits with Pam Jahnke about the clear communication that's necessary on projects like this to make sure that a farmers dreamed are realized and maintained. Paid for by Schultz's Interstate Ag. Soybeans are rallying on a Monday morning! An unconfirmed sale of over 500,000 metric ton of soybeans going to an undisclosed destination is inspiring traders. Pam Jahnke also updates the conversations between the U.S. and Canada on renewing USMCA. Agriculture technology isn't just limited to agriculture. Kiley Allan finds out about the multi-use options for drones. Davis Napier, Owner and Operator at Seek, says he uses drones equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras and spotlights to locate downed deer for hunters who have lost the trail, want to avoid trespassing on neighboring land, or wish to minimize property disturbance. To stay within Wisconsin DNR regulations and avoid hunting with a drone, he requires clients to sign waivers and will only disclose a deer's location if the thermal imaging confirms the animal has already expired. Beyond recovery, the drone captures and stitches together thousands of images to create property maps that are significantly more detailed than satellite imagery, allowing landowners to see specific deer trails and terrain features. During the off-season, the technology is used for herd analysis to help landowners understand deer bedding patterns and population health (buck-to-doe ratios) without disrupting the animals during hunting season. Napier founded his business, Seeker, based on his lifelong passion for hunting and his childhood experience of the heartbreak associated with failing to recover a deer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There will be an emphasis on safety in demonstrations at WI Farm Technology Days this year. Jill Welke visits with retired fire chief, Jerry Minor, about the message he wants to convey to attendees. Minor says today's responders lack the farming/agriculture knowledge that responders had 40 years ago when he began as a firefighter. Minor says helping farms communicate directly with their local fire and rescue team members is incredibly important. He shares some insights into some of the tools today's responders have access to that can improve their safety when responding to farm/ag related calls. Minor says a farm's cooperation by providing information before an event is key. More wet weather will crowd our 4th of July outdoor plans according to Stu Muck. The rain that moved through overnight also brought some minor hail. Muck says that probably won't repeat this weekend. They may not be on the guest list, but you know they'll show up. Mosquitos. Kiley Allan finds out how Wisconsin's dry May impacted early mosquito development from PJ Leisch, UW-Extension Entomologist. Leisch says Wisconsin is home to about 55 different varieties of mosquitoes, so one is always finding weather it can handle. He says the biggest risk humans have for disease transfer from mosquitoes is West Nile Virus. Dairy country is dealing with the heat in different ways. Matt Tranel, senior dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, tells Pam Jahnke that California is still relatively mild. That's keeping its milk production moving along. Meanwhile, in the EU, people and dairies are struggling against a wave of heat. Tranel points out that many EU farms aren't equipped to handle bouts of heat. He also brings an update on a dryer plant fire at a processor in Arizona. Industry leaders are watching how and where that milk is temporarily relocated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The farm economy in Washington and around the country is in crisis, but that crisis is not getting the attention it deserves.

A Monday playoff between Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler will serve as an exclamation point to one of the best golf weekends of 2026 thus far. Andy and Brendan! are fired up for this episode, recorded after watching a birdie-fest at TPC River Highlands, another women's major, and Blockie's near-perfect Champions Tour debut. They can't help themselves and begin with a brief section on the Dick's Open, an event that made some consider if the Champions Tour really needs Tiger Woods at all. Upstate New York's finest sporting event provided plenty of fodder, from Bob Papa singing Zac Brown Band, to the emergence of a "Paddy Stopper," and so, so much Michael Block content. The two then move on to the unfinished Travelers Championship, where a score of -21 got into a playoff to be held on Monday morning. Andy and Brendan discuss Viktor Hovland's turnaround from hitting hundreds of balls on the Shinnecock range after a missed cut last week to now potentially a Signature Event win in just seven days. They also debate whether Scottie Scheffler already missed out on multiple chances to win the tournament in regulation on Sunday afternoon on an extra-soft course after a lengthy rain delay. Andy is hung up on a Keegan Bradley quote from earlier this week alluding to the Travelers as a "vacation week" after a tough U.S. Open, and openly wonders if TPC River Highlands can fit into the PGA Tour's new Championship Series model. While the event itself is enjoyable, does the golf course leave too much to be desired as true test of professional golf? Haeran Ryu won her first major championship at the KPMG Women's PGA at Hazeltine, holding off a charge from Brooke Henderson, Ina Yoon, and Nelly Korda. The broadcast coverage was the big story of this Sunday, with a weather delay pushing the finish off of NBC and moving it to Golf Channel. A lengthy discussion about rights deals and coverage windows ensues, with ideas about ways for the LPGA to branch out and not be buried by non-major PGA Tour events on its biggest weeks of the year. Lastly, Andy and Brendan react to Alan Shipnuck's latest article on Phil Mickelson, full of more scandalous details following up on the Golf Digest report about Phil being removed from The Farms in San Diego.

Cheaper farm down the road sinking your sales? It's not your prices. It's a skill gap, and it's fixable. In the final episode of our 4-part farm marketing foundation series, Charlotte breaks down exactly how to get customers to drive out of their way to a rural farm, keep them coming back season after season, and stop fearing the cheaper competition. You'll hear how one client, Valerie in Pennsylvania, 10x'd her farm stand sales in six months, with five other farm stands, six weekly farmers markets, and cheaper butcher shops all surrounding her, and a farm building you can't even see from the road. Inside this episode: Why relationship (not price) is what makes someone drive past five cheaper farms to get to yours The real reason customers don't come back after the first sale How to build your email list at community events, pop-ups, and partnerships Off-season email strategy that keeps customers loyal year after year How far in advance to market wedding flowers, CSAs, and seasonal products The 5-day launch framework that has farmers selling out in one week This is the long-game foundation that has farmers in the Profitable Farmer program selling out, charging their worth, and serving customers for an average of five years. If you're a farmer wondering why people aren't finding you, or why they're not coming back, this is the episode that ties the whole marketing foundation together.
