Podcasts about industry news

There is a lot of talk right now about influencer Dani Austin sharing her natural birth story on social media. So of course, Kelly and Lizz need to give their take on the whole thing. This leads into a conversation about content creators as a whole and Kelly has a prediction on their future success. Speaking of content creators, the Car Mom went on a very special car shopping trip with one of their favorite content creators. Could this be the start of the next wave of Car Mom videos?  At home, Kelly has a big day ahead with two very important events. First, she has the honor of doing something HUGE at her kid's school. Could it be the highlight of her career? Then, she's throwing a party for fellow moms and their daughters where a kids' hair expert will teach them all to become braiding masters. Feel free to steal this idea.  Two weeks into the sugar-free life and Kelly is feeling GREAT! What happens when Lent is over? Hello Whole 30! On the other hand, Lizz is all in her morning sickness again. Then she reveals the food she always keeps by her bedside and we have questions...  The biggest Industry News is all about the Car Mom Auto Show. Tickets are officially on sale! Make sure to get yours at the early bird price. In other Industry News, it looks like there might finally be a competitor for the G Wagon and it's coming from Lincoln... 

There's a new arrival on the farm! Ms. Moly the cow has joined the Stumpe household and the whole family is in love. Tyler joins the podcast briefly this week to answer all your burning baby cow questions.  In case you were wondering, Kelly is continuing her book club but is behind on this month's book (which she picked btw). Let's just say this is not one she recommends. Over at the St. John house, Lizz has become obsessed with cleaning and decluttering her home. She's spending hours on Facebook Marketplace getting rid of things she won't use, including baby shoes. This brings up a potential hot take: shoes for babies that can't walk are a waste of money. Regardless, Lizz is learning a lot about herself from her '40 Days of Less' as is Kelly with her sugar-free lent.  Kelly has a new Base Model Luxury that is really brightening her mornings. She puts spoons in the freezer overnight and uses them in the morning to depuff her face. It might sound odd, but honestly this could be your new favorite habit.  If you've been waiting for the Car Mom Auto Show tickets to go on sale, Kelly and Lizz have an important update today on the podcast! Then, it's time to answer more advice questions and this week includes a non-car inquiry. Should Jen be mad at her friends?  Wrapping up the episode with a yummy Ditch the Drive-Thru and a quick Industry News to send you into your weekend.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear where there is a new boss lady in town in this red angus outfit.  We head to the Dry Creek Ranch.  Plus updates on the Agridime cattle ponzi scheme, market recaps, the ranch channel sales calendar and lots more all wrapped into this brand new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 6, EPISODE 277 Dry Creek Ranch: Passion For Red Angus Dry Creek Ranch in Amidon, North Dakota, is a family-run Red Angus cattle operation that focuses on raising registered and commercial cattle, selling breeding bulls, and offering ranch-raised beef directly to customers. The ranch is operated by the Robison family and emphasizes practical, efficient cattle genetics and long-term herd improvement, with activities that include private-treaty sales and ranch-direct beef marketing. It's part of the western North Dakota ranching tradition, combining working-ranch livestock production with a direct connection to consumers and other cattle producers in the region. Current State Of The Beef Business Beef prices are climbing faster than almost anything else in the consumer price index. The broad beef and veal category is up 15 percent over the past year, as of January. Uncooked ground beef has hit a new record high, after posting its biggest jump since June of 2020, according to new government data released last Friday. That stands out against the rest of the grocery aisle, where price pressures have eased. Chicken prices rose just over 1 percent in the past year, while milk prices have stayed mostly flat. At the wholesale level, the average value of choice beef in 2025 was up 16 percent from the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Even major meatpackers like Tyson Foods are feeling the strain, with the company's beef division reporting quarterly losses since early 2024. The surge in beef prices has pushed the White House to respond. President Donald Trump has pledged to increase competition in beef processing and has expanded Argentine beef import quotas in an attempt to boost supply. But the situation is more complicated. The U.S. cattle herd has fallen to its smallest level since the early 1950's. Drought, higher production costs, and elevated interest rates have all made raising cattle more expensive. Don Close, a senior animal protein analyst at Terrain Ag, says the cattle industry is cyclical, but this downturn has lasted longer than expected. Right now, ranchers can make more money selling animals young for slaughter than keeping them to rebuild herds. And even if herd expansion started today, it wouldn't reach grocery store shelves until at least 2028 — meaning beef prices could stay high for years. Meanwhile, the U.S. has halted shipments of live cattle from Mexico following the return of the New World screwworm. Imports from South America may provide some relief, but those supplies are mostly used for ground beef and won't quickly solve the broader cattle shortage. And that is a quick snap shot of the current beef business Reference: https://fortune.com/2026/02/14/why-are-beef-prices-so-high-american-cattle-herd-inflation/ Five Federally Indicted For Alleged $220 Million Nationwide Cattle Fraud Scheme Five individuals were federally indicted last week for their roles in an alleged $220 million nationwide fraud scheme involving the online and direct-to-consumer meat business Agridime. Those indicted by a Fort Worth federal grand jury on February 11, 2026, were: Jed Wood of Fort Worth, Texas, charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering involving wiring more than $63,000 to a lender for “Home Payoff” Joshua Link of Strafford, Missouri, charged with ten counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and two counts of money laundering, including wiring more than $527,000 to purchase real property Tia Link of Smithton, Missouri, charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering, including wiring more than $527,000 to purchase real property Taylor Bang of Killdeer, North Dakota, charged with eight counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering Royana Thomas of Arlington, Texas, charged with six counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering As alleged in the indictment, each of the defendants were associated with Agridime LLC, a business headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas that offered cattle sales and meat processing and retail services to the public.  Jed Wood served as the Operations Director.  Joshua Link served as the Executive Director.  Tia Link served as the Marketing Director.  Taylor Bang served as a cattle broker, and Royana Thomas served as the financial controller.  The indictment alleges that, from January 2021 through December 2023, the five defendants, acting through Agridime, perpetrated a fraud scheme in which they falsely represented to individual cattle purchasers, cattle ranchers, and feedlots that Agridime would use their funds to purchase specific individual cattle from each victim, raise the cattle, and eventually sell the meat from the same specific individual cattle for a profit.   In reality, as the indictment charges, the defendants did not use victim funds as promised and instead used newer cattle purchaser funds to pay Agridime operating expenses, pay funds owed by Agridime to earlier cattle purchasers, pay personal expenses, and purchase real property.  Reference: https://www.tsln.com/news/five-federally-indicted-for-alleged-220-million-nationwide-cattle-fraud-scheme-one-is-fugitive-on-fbi-wanted-list/ Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Haley Robison - Dry Creek Ranch https://www.drycreekranchnd.com/ Follow On Facebook: @drycreekranchnd Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

The State of Texas filed a lawsuit against Darling Ingredients, accusing the company of illegally emitting odors and air contaminants from its rendering facility near Austin, Texas. The complaint noted that the smells can be detected up to 10 miles away, with some described as resembling “boiling blood and death.”Founded in 1882 and based in Irving, Texas, Darling Ingredients converts materials from animal agriculture and food industries into ingredients for animal and human consumption, crop fertilization and aviation fuel. The company operates over 260 facilities across more than 15 countries.The facility targeted in the lawsuit processes used cooking grease and chicken byproducts like meat, fat, bone and feathers. The site consists of two buildings: a processing plant and a feather plant.According to the suit, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has received nearly 1,440 complaints regarding Darling Ingredients' facility since May 2024, with hundreds coming in the last three months. Reported health effects include nausea, headaches, vomiting and burning throats and eyes. One resident described the smell as “festering dog vomit on fire” and indicated that they would rather smell burning tires.#DarlingIngredients, #Texas, #EnvironmentalLawsuit, #AirPollution, #TCEQ, #EnvironmentalCompliance, #IndustrialEmissions, #RenderingPlant, #ManufacturingNews, #EnvironmentalNews, #PublicHealth, #HydrogenSulfide, #OdorComplaint, #WasteProcessing, #Agribusiness, #FoodProcessing, #RegulatoryNews, #Sustainability, #IndustrialRegulation, #AustinTexas, #AirQuality, #IndustryNews

Cargill says it plans to shut down its beef plant in Milwaukee and lay off more than 200 workers amid turmoil in the U.S. beef industry.Reuters reports that the agribusiness giant notified Wisconsin officials that it intends to halt production at the facility in mid-April and close it entirely at the end of May. The move would affect 221 workers, although some could shift to a nearby plant in suburban Butler, Wisconsin — one of seven other Cargill facilities in the Badger State.Cargill indicated in the filing that shutting the plant would “better align” its portfolio with demand, as well as prioritize the company's investments.#Cargill, #BeefIndustry, #MeatProcessing, #FoodManufacturing, #Agribusiness, #ManufacturingNews, #PlantClosure, #Layoffs, #Wisconsin, #Milwaukee, #SupplyChain, #FoodIndustry, #GroundBeef, #USManufacturing, #AgricultureNews, #BeefPrices, #CattleIndustry, #DroughtImpact, #JBS, #TysonFoods, #IndustryNews, #ManufacturingNow

Tonight on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show, we welcome Big John. He is a micro-blender and the creator of the Niall of Nine pipe tobacco line. His journey into pipe smoking began when he inherited his great-grandfather's pipes, an experience that sparked a lasting connection to the hobby. Today, he's known for crafting distinctive micro-blends that often feature rare and unusual components, including Syrian Latakia and Cuban cigar leaf. Several of his blends draw inspiration from the themes and imagery of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Another notable mixture, Aberdeen Extinction, showcases an eclectic range of tobaccos: 2015 Virginias processed as Perique, 2016 McClelland Perique, 2014 Black Cavendish, 2001 medium brown Burley, and 2018 Cyprian Latakia. At the top of the show in Pipe Parts, Brian will go over an article about the iconic Connecticut shade tobacco. The industry has all but vanished as demand dwindled and land was developed, leaving Dwight Arnold — on a farm just over the Massachusetts border — as the last grower of the traditional shade-grown leaf prized for premium cigar wrappers. We also have news about nicotine pouch vending machines.

A proposed merger between two of the largest packaged ice companies in the U.S. has been met with a list of divestiture requirements from the U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division.https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-requires-reddy-ice-divest-assets-proceed-proposed-acquisition-arcticReddy Ice, the biggest bagged ice manufacturer in the U.S., is looking to acquire Arctic Glacier, the country's third largest packaged ice maker, for $126 million. The two companies combined sell ice across more than half of U.S. states and generate more than $800 million in combined annual revenue.It's a mammoth deal with the potential to create a bagged ice monopoly. So, the DOJ is stepping in with stipulations, largely focused on ice sold to retail chains in Oregon, Washington and parts of southern California, along with packaged ice sold to airlines and airline caterers in the Boston and New York City metropolitan areas.#Antitrust, #DOJ, #JusticeDepartment, #MergerNews, #Acquisition, #ManufacturingNews, #FoodIndustry, #PackagedIce, #ReddyIce, #ArcticGlacier, #Monopoly, #CompetitionLaw, #BusinessNews, #IndustryNews, #SupplyChain, #RetailIndustry, #AirlineCatering, #ConsumerPrices, #Regulation, #CorporateNews, #USManufacturing, #MergersAndAcquisitions

Big things are happening for the Stumpe's this week as Fred has his first day at pre-school. Over at the St. John house, Lizz is discovering that baby #3 has her craving all things sour. Being in the thick of things with young kids, both Kelly and Lizz are relishing seeing moms on social media with teenagers to remind them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Because what happens when chocolate milk and a snuggle doesn't solve all their kid's problems?  The Fisher Price toy hunt is still on and Kelly is considering a big purchase to complete her collection. Can you blame her when the toys are so good? Could they be the best toys of all time?  There is some good Industry News this week, but the BIGGEST might be the return of the Car Mom Auto Show! There will be all the cars you want to see, the car seats to go in them, things for the kids to do and SO much more. Outside of the auto show, Tesla is ending production in some of their cars in favor of robots, the Hyundai Santa Cruz is dead and Lizz has some things she wants to talk about with the Kia Telluride.  In Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz has a way to make one of her favorite grilling dishes in the kitchen when it's too cold to grill outside. However Kelly and Lizz aren't ditching the drive-thru completely right now, as they discovered how amazing a hibachi dinner can be for the whole family.

The chemical industry faces flat growth, formaldehyde regulation debate, Venezuela oil investment push, winter storm threats and a cheesy viral moment.

This time around we highlight some of the news that crossed our desk recently, talk about the PSi awards and golf day plus we let AI take over once again, this time to tell you all about how 2026 will see the further adoption of the technology. This episode includes AI-generated content.

A winter storm isn't going to bring the Car Mom down! Kelly and Lizz are bunkered down and ready to bring you a cold episode of the Carpool and they're kicking it off strong with Kelly's first micro-hobby of 2026. Is she canning? Reading? Quilting? Nope! It's all about hunting down the old school Fisher Price Loving Family House. Toys from the 90s really have nothing on the toys from today.  Kelly had a lot on her Driveway Dump today, including some social media trends that are driving her crazy. AI has her second guessing everything on the internet and one video got her good. Lizz is starting to think of baby names, but is coming up empty. Could the name Kelly be an option?  There's a correction from last week Kelly needs to make to kick off Industry News. But the biggest story is the Chicago Auto Show and the Car Mom tour you could be a part of. Get your tickets here!

Lizz has a bone to pick with Kelly to start the podcast off this week. She's fully in her wearing nothing but leggings mode because none of her regular clothes fit and she's not ready for maternity wear. Meanwhile, her sister is looking snatched in stylish outfits all the time and wearing a full face of makeup. How dare she! She's not the only one that is a little mad at Kelly this week as her husband is not happy with a recent Amazon purchase. But after hearing the story you might not blame him. Kelly has a couple new Base Model Luxuries and she could be on the right track. Purse tape measure - yes! Straws in a slim can - not so much... Lizz on the other hand has exactly what you are looking for in a Fast Lane Philosophy reminding us that spending down time with the kids is not lazy. It's these moments they'll remember forever! A new social media trend Lizz has been addicted to is watching women buy their new mom cars. She not only watches the video, but judges them based on the car they bought. So today she's bringing it to the podcast! What does the Car Mom have to say about these "mom cars"? Industry News is light today so instead Kelly has a story on Chat GPT bringing ads to the service. She knows what you're thinking, why haven't they been doing this the whole time?!? Finally, Ditch the Drive-Thru is all about using what is in your kitchen post-holidays and that includes a TON of cube steak!

The baby news is out and Lizz is feeling loved and seen. But is she feeling a little less nauseous? Not so much... Kicking off the podcast talking about having 3 under 3 and why the timing just worked out. Also, Kelly knows the sex of baby #3 and is NOT telling! Meanwhile over at the Stumpe house, Kelly is working through some sleep training issues and potty training issues. A tip Lizz recently got from her pediatrician might be the game changer we all have been looking for when it comes to potty training.  The year 2016 is all over social media this week, which leads Kelly and Lizz to time travel to that year and remember what their lives were like. What were they wearing? What were they doing? Life before Amazon could get us anything overnight was definitely different. Speaking of trending, the next trending food is making itself known and it's one of Kelly and Lizz's favorites: the sweet potato!  Lizz is concerned that Kelly has lost the plot when it comes to Base Model Luxury. Is curating the content in your purse a luxury? What Kelly won't ever lose the plot to is Industry News and today's edition is chock full of tea! GM is committing to more plugin hybrids, the Hyundai CRATER Concept car is getting a ton of buzz and Honda is updating their logo.

The move came Saturday through an executive order. It directs both the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to form separate task forces, each charged with taking “all necessary and appropriate actions” to look into the food supply chain. That includes examining whether foreign ownership in food-related industries is driving up grocery prices or posing a national or economic security risk. In the order, Trump said anti-competitive behavior — especially by companies under foreign control — threatens the stability and affordability of America's food supply. He pointed to past settlements in which some companies paid millions to resolve price-fixing allegations. The administration, he said, intends to determine whether such practices are raising the cost of living for Americans and whether they pose any security concerns. The President also said that if Attorney General Pam Bondi uncovers criminal collusion, the Justice Department could pursue criminal charges, including convening grand juries. The task forces are required to provide their first updates to Congress within 180 days, and again within the first year of the investigation. This executive order follows Trump's earlier directive for the DOJ to immediately investigate alleged collusion and price manipulation among U.S. meatpackers. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Attorney General Bondi voiced support for the effort, even as reports surfaced that a previous DOJ probe into beef-packer concentration, launched in 2020, ended without charges. According to the Wall Street Journal, Rollins, along with trade adviser Peter Navarro and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller, has recently met with Trump to discuss rising beef prices.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear how feeding Farmatan to bred cows now can help prevent scours this upcoming calving season.  Plus news, markets, updates, bred cow prices and lots more on this all-new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. How To Prevent Calf Scours: Feed Farmatan   Feed Farmatan To Prevent Scours This Upcoming Calving Season Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.   WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES Clostridia-Enterotoxemia The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal's intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf's life, and can result in sudden death. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly Dehydrated Bloat Blindness Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold. Coccidiosis Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf's life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody Depression Weight Loss Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf. Coronavirus Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery Nasal Discharge Coughing Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan's active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE. Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves' life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present Colic Depression Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. E-Coli Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow Abdominal Pains Fever Vomiting Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Rotavirus Rotavirus in calves is caused by a virus belonging to the Reoviridae family, as a non-envelope RNA virus. Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody Dehydrated Dull calves Reluctant to drink Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus' ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Salmonella Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present Lethargic Fever Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.  LEARN MORE ABOUT IMOGENE INGREDIENTS  PRODUCTS Paul Mitchell & Paul Martin on RFD TV Rural America Live!  WATCH: https://vimeo.com/759549430/bd063fcc1f Beef Industry News Possible Slow Beef Trend in 2026 According To Rabobank Beef production by major global producers is expected to remain sluggish next year, according to analysts at the Dutch financial services cooperative Rabobank. The recent contraction in beef production is expected to affect major producers in Brazil, Canada and the United States, with New Zealand being likely to see the sharpest percentage drop in beef production, the Rabobank report predicted. Several issues are contributing to the 2025 decline and the expected drop next year, especially in light of limited cattle herds ready for slaughter in both the United States and Brazil, the report added. The long-term contraction of available cattle is being blamed for significant price hikes for retail beef in the last few years, Rabobank noted. Canada is experiencing a tighter pattern that has resulted in a decline of 41,000 metric tons of beef available for export in 2025 versus levels in 2024, according to the report. Canadian beef output in 2026 is expected to be “more limited” compared with this year for reasons also being experienced south of the Canadian border in terms of the available cattle herd.

The USDA has launched a dedicated website with up-to-date information on the spread of the screwworm, which so far has been confined to cattle in several Mexican states near the U.S. border. The site includes resources for livestock producers, veterinarians, animal-health officials, wildlife experts, healthcare providers, pet owners, researchers, drug manufacturers, and the general public. Reports of the pest in Mexican cattle prompted the U.S. to halt cattle imports from Mexico back in May. USDA also committed $21 million to boost sterile fly production in Mexico as part of its response. The new website pulls together information from multiple federal partners, including the FDA, the Department of Energy, Homeland Security, the EPA, and the State Department.  Reference: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/stop-screwworm Nightshade In Corn Residue Could Be Toxic Have you noticed any black nightshade in your corn stalks that you are grazing or plan to graze? If these fields have too much black nightshade, be careful — it might be toxic. Black nightshade is common in many corn fields in the fall, especially those that had hail damage in the summer or any situation where the corn canopy became thin or open. It usually isn't a problem, but if the density of nightshade is very high, there is the potential that it could poison livestock. Almost all livestock, including cattle, sheep, swine, horses and poultry are susceptible.   Black nightshade plants average about two feet in height and have simple alternating leaves. In the fall, berries are green and become black as the plant matures. All plant parts contain some of the toxin and the concentration increases as plants mature, except in the berries. Freezing temperatures will not reduce the toxicity. It is very difficult to determine exactly how much black nightshade is risky. Guidelines say that a cow would need to consume three to four pounds of fresh black nightshade to be at risk of being poisoned. These guidelines, though, are considered conservative since there is little data on the actual toxicity of nightshade plants. Fortunately, even though nightshade plants remain green fairly late into the fall, cattle usually don't appear to seek out nightshade plants to graze. However, green plants of nightshade might become tempting toward the end of a field's grazing period when there is less grain, husks or leaves to consume.  References: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/nightshade-in-corn-residue-grazing-could-be-toxic Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Paul Mitchell – Imogene Ingredients https://www.imogeneingredients.com/ Follow on Facebook: @FarmatanUSA Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

Beef Industry News Tyson Announced The Closing Of Beef Plant In Nebraska The beef business has been a buzz this past week when Tyson, one of the Nation's largest meat packing companies, announced plans to close a large beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska.   The news of the possible closing comes just weeks after President Donald Trump claimed the four largest companies are driving up the prices on purpose, to keep meat prices high for the consumer. On November 7, Trump took to social media to call for a DOJ investigation into the price fixing claims by saying “I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation's food supply.” Back in October, Tyson and Cargill agreed to pay more than $87.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit for "inflating" beef prices by limiting the supply to the public. Trump's most recent claims earlier in November call out the foreign owned meat packers, as well as the American-owned ones, like Tyson. The White House website also posted about how much influence the top four meat companies have over the price of beef saying "The “Big Four” meat packers — JBS (Brazil), Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — currently dominate 85% of the U.S. beef processing market, up from just 36% in 1980. Two of these companies, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control."

Texas A&M economist David Anderson says government investigations into meat-packer collusion are also unlikely to lower prices. He notes that cattle prices are at record highs, and even the big processors are losing money. “If they had real market power, they wouldn't be losing money,” Anderson says. Right now, ground beef averages $6.33 a pound, up more than 11% from last year. The core issue, Anderson says, is tight cattle supply—the smallest U.S. beef-cow herd since the early 1960s. Anderson explains that every beef-packing plant, not just Tyson, is operating in the red because live cattle prices are rising faster than wholesale beef prices—a normal pattern when herds are low. When cattle are plentiful, the roles reverse: ranchers lose money and packers profit. Despite concerns about the dominance of a few large meatpackers, Anderson says there's little evidence they can artificially inflate grocery store prices. “To push prices higher, you have to control supply,” he says. “And packers don't own the cattle or the feedlots.” So what is driving today's high beef prices? A shrinking cattle herd, shaped by years of drought, rising costs, and previously low prices. And rebuilding that herd takes time. A calf born last spring won't have its first calf until 2027, and that next generation won't reach market weight until late 2029. “It's hard to beat biology,” Anderson says. “We can't speed that up.” Until then, experts say beef prices at the grocery store will likely stay high—no matter what happens in the packing plants.

As of November 24, the EDCC has confirmed 29 EHV-1 cases associated with the event. The cases are located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Arizona, and South Dakota. Herpesvirus is highly contagious among horses and can cause a variety of ailments. In many horses, the first or only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can go undetected. In addition to fever, other common signs of EHV-1 infection in young horses include cough, decreased appetite, depression, and a nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation (around eight months) but can be earlier. Abortions can occur anywhere from two weeks to several months following infection with EHV-1. Herpesvirus is easily spread by nose-to-nose or close contact with an infectious horse; sharing contaminated equipment including bits, buckets, and towels; or clothing, hands, or equipment of people who have recently had contact with an infectious horse. Routine biosecurity measures, including hygiene and basic cleaning and disinfection practices, should be in place at all times to help prevent disease spread. Already, some equine events have been cancelled or postponed due to EHV-1, while others have been put on high alert, including the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.  If your horses show any  concerning signs or abnormalities, especially a fever or neurological symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Kelly and Lizz have been spending a lot of time getting ready for the launch and some amazing new features, including an official Car Mom rating system and viewer ratings. Just consider them ladies in tech right now! At home, both families are getting ready for Thanksgiving. There will be one major change to the menu this year as Kelly can no longer have her favorite autumn caesar salad thanks to that pesky anchovy allergy. Will she find a suitable substitute? It's all about car advice questions from the listeners this week. First, a mom needs advice on a new car after a crash left hers totaled. A second mom needs advice on the perfect car for her family after delaying getting an official "mom car." Moving into Industry News, Motortrend has named the SUV of the year. Did they get it right? Then, Kelly and Lizz have a LOT to say about this week's "Dancing with the Star" elimination. They are HEATED!

Have you ever heard Kelly talk about the Nissan Armada? There is a very specific reason why as she reveals today on the Carpool Podcast. Turns out, she is NOT a fan and there are many reasons why.  Moving on the biggest topic of the episode, getting your house winterized and not in the way you are thinking. Kelly and Lizz are not talking about pipes or updating heating systems. Today they are talking about how to get your house ready to keep the kids busy for the cold winter months. Chances are you're going to spend many hours at home with the kids stuck inside. Are you prepared? Kelly and Lizz share the activities they are prepping to keep the whole family entertained. A quick Industry News has all the details on the 2027 Kia Telluride redesign. What are Kelly and Lizz most looking forward to?

Finally in Ditch the Drive-Thru, Lizz is obsessed with an enchilada sauce and Kelly is back on her BBQ chicken pizza grind. 

The new podcast studios are up and running. Are Kelly and Lizz ready to introduce themselves as podcasters? It does sound a little better than 'influencer'. Either way, they are ready to make 2026 the year of The Carpool Podcast!  Kelly is starting things off strong with a Fast Lane Philosophy that will get you thinking. "Don't compare your start to someone else's middle?" This leads into a conversation on comparing yourself to others on social media, finding the right sources and learning from those that have done it all. It's been a while, but the Millennial Word of the Day is BACK! Do you know what an "Unk" is? Lizz has an explanation. Luckily, it's not as annoying as the 6-7 craze... Kelly and Lizz both have products in the Detail Shop that you're going to want to hit 'add to cart' on. First, Kelly is obsessed with the new dry shampoo she recently tried. But not so obsessed with the med spa facial she recently tried out. Lizz is working on getting out of her ugly era and the beef tallow she recently tried seems to be doing the trick.  An advice question came in from a mom that is on a journey to become a truck mom. Is there a good electric truck she should look for? Since they are on the subject of cars, it's the perfect way to transition into  Industry News with the Top 10 Best Selling Cars of 2026.

Sydney is back from Australia and ready to spill all the Australian tea. The Carpool listeners have a ton of questions for Kelly and Lizz's sister about living down under for the last ten months. She reveals all about dating the food, driving and dating in Australia. Plus, is she Robert Irwin's American girlfriend?  Since Sydney is the wish list queen, this is the perfect time to rundown Last Three Transactions. Apparently, Australian deodorant sucks so that was first on Sydney's list to get once she got back to the states. She also stocked up on Australian snacks before her return for the family to enjoy. Meanwhile, Kelly and Lizz are transacting and getting ready for the family farm anniversary party. It's a chic cowboy theme and the outfits needed to match.  After Sydney reveals her Australian Ditch the Drive-Thru, it's time for Industry News. Jeep is upgrading and rebranding the Grand Wagoneer.

Big changes in the Carpool today. Not only has the release schedule changed, but so has Lizz's hair! Which one is the bigger news? We're not sure, but Kelly does think Lizz can go shorter. Lizz only thinks it looks good with a hat on. In good news, Kelly is feeling like herself again and has gone full force in cultivating fall vibes. It's all about apple cider donuts, chili and football... in 81 degree weather... Plus, she's organizing the toys and feels really good about it.  Kelly and Lizz are headed on a road trip to speak at a women's conference and are the two podcasters to do so!

Kelly is jet setting once again off to Detroit to do some work with Ford. Will that work eventually lead to a ticket to see the Detroit Lions? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Sloan is turning one and it's a big milestone for Lizz. Not only does that mean the end of breastfeeding, it also means she can finally give up the nursing bras and buy some sports bras!   Fall is officially here, and that means Kelly is into her soup era and made her first soup of the season. Now she's ready to move on to chicken and dumplings. But since fall is here, can you put up your Halloween decorations or is it too soon? The family that now lives in Kelly's last home certainly don't think so as the house is COVERED in all things Halloween.  Then, a Carpool listener needs some advice on investing in her first minivan. This leads right into Industry News and the big news of the Hyundai Palisade recall. Plus, why Nissan has discontinued the Ariya electric SUV.  Finally in the Ditch the Drive-Thru it's time for the return of the Iowa Slinger! Should they do an entire month dedicated to all things ground beef recipes? 

Kelly and Lizz are continuing getting ready for football season and to route for the Detroit Lions. Kelly is even wearing her new gear to get ready for the big game. Turns out Carpool Country is also Lions Country. But are they more excited for the game or the food?  There's a lot of controversial opinions the ladies need to discuss today. First, Gen Z is now saying leggings are over but they're gonna have to take them from Lizz's cold, dead body. Why do we have to yuck someone's yum? Then, it's time to once again dive into the buying used vs. new convo. But that's not the only car controversy they need to discuss as Kelly has some hot takes on the Ford Expedition that everyone needs to hear.  Base Model Luxury is back and Kelly will explain why cleaning out your fridge is the ultimate flex. This leads into a snack hack that Kelly discovered recently and Lizz is ready to make it the rule in her home... that is when she can get back in it. How life will change when this remodel is over!  The biggest piece of Industry News this week is all about the groundbreaking interview just posted on the Car Mom Facebook page. Plus, is Jeep getting their stuff together? We're rooting for them!  Finally, it's a comfort staple from the early days of newlywed bliss for Kelly that is the perfect fall meal. 

Summer has come to an end and Kelly is ready for football season! She is fully committing to being a Detroit Lions fan. But is she actually excited to watch the game or just excited to watch the commercials? Since summer is over, Kelly has a list of what she learned this year that she is taking into next year including kids camps, America clothing and hay season.  The micro-hobbies are continuing as Kelly is now obsessed with buying banners to celebrate holidays and major family events. This is her first item in Last Three Transactions this week along with Labor Day sales from the Tea Collection and a birthday present for Sloan. Meanwhile, Lizz has been stocking up on Burt's Bee jammies, consignment shop finds and Paw Patrol toys from Facebook Marketplace.  There's some juicy news in Industry News this week. First, the federal tax credit for electric vehicles is about to end. Kelly has details on the exact date it ends and how you may be able to still be eligible if the car you want isn't ready yet. Then, Hertz and Amazon are teaming up to sell used rental cars through the app. They'll break down exactly what that means and why this might not be the best idea.  Finally, in Ditch the Drive-Thru Kelly and Lizz somehow managed to bring the same recipe without realizing it and it's a family staple you can easily make your family tonight!
