Our podcast guest today is with Jared Coley, of Setac, a silage and feed covering company in the Magic Valley. Jared talks about the business of covering silage piles and haystacks, and the feed loss associated with piles not protected. If it's not the tarp covering keeping out the oxygen on a silage pile, 12-18 inches of moldy, rotted surface will eventually seal it out – your choice. As much as 10% feed loss can happen with unprotected feed, and that gets expensive. Today's podcast is sponsored by Idaho Farm and Ranch Center.

This week on the hemp podcast we talk to George Overbey and Nick Strawn, executives from the Texas-based hemp start-up Delta Ag, who tell us about hemp in the Lone Star State. In 2021 the company contracted ten thousand acres of hemp in Texas, Colorado and Kentucky. While most hemp companies will usually pick which side of the industry they want to play in — grain and fiber or cannabinoids — Delta has taken a unique approach by planting what they call tri-crop varieties which allow them to harvest fiber and grain for industrial and food purposes and also flower for the CBD market. Overbey and Strawn describe how their previous work in the oil and gas industry has set them up for success in hemp. They talk about Delta Ag's processing facilities, how they structure their contracts and payments to farmers, and their commitment to regenerative ag practices.

My main focus is to expand the reach of the Nardagani Reading Program. The Nardagani Reading Program is based on the Japanese Hiragana coding system, which was developed hundreds of years ago. As a result of this simple method, Japan has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. In my 20s I learned to read Japanese in one week. I adapted the Japanese method to English. Now, reading English is easy too! The Nardagani Reading Program has been adopted by the Idaho State Department of Education. https://www.linkedin.com/in/nardagani/

In episode 5, I discuss the contradictory messages public officials, including Idaho's Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna and Senator John Goedde among other, continue to tell parents and school boards in regards to the right of the local school board to choose their own curriculum if they do not like a particular Common Core aligned material. I provide documented evidence proving local school districts do not have the right to choose their own curriculum and in fact by Idaho law, must use curriculum materials previously approved by the Idaho State Department of Education.
