Can crops change the weather? We've done the myth busting, learn the truth. Plus, PRCA standings heat up - we talk Rodeo, share how a rancher raises Old Glory sky-high, and fishing records are about to be broken again! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Season 5, Episode 253 Can Crops Affect the Weather? Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller Explains When it comes to agriculture, we usually think about how weather affects crops — but what if the reverse is true? Can crops actually influence the weather? According to KX News Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller, who has extensive experience in forecasting for agriculture and commodity trading, the answer is yes — in certain ways. “Large-scale crops can change local climate conditions through evapotranspiration,” says Miller. “That's the process where plants release moisture back into the atmosphere, which can lead to cooler temperatures and increased local humidity.” This matters not only for farmers, but also for agriculture professionals and commodity traders who rely on precise, short-term forecasts during critical planting and harvest windows. Kenny emphasizes that the impact is regional, not global — but in key ag zones, it can shape everything from yield timing to market behavior. PRCA Standings: Countdown to the 2025 Wrangler NFR As we approach the PRCA regular season deadline on September 30, 2025, the tension is building across the rodeo world. Cowboys and cowgirls across the country are laser-focused on making the Top 15 in their events to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) this December. Current PRCA Standings Here are the PRCA Rankings & Standings as of September 2, 2025. Stetson Wright, Beaver, Utah: All-Around Earnings: $391,000 plus. After the 8x World Champion sustained injuries at the 2023 NFR, sidelined during the 2024 rodeo season, he has made a runaway comeback for the coveted 2025 Wrangler NFR All-Around Champion. Events: #1 in Bull Riding, #9 in Saddle Bronc. Rocker Steiner, Weatherford, TX: World bareback riding leader with $243,000 plus with the closest contender being Bradlee Miller of Huntsville, TX and Jess Pope of Waverly, KS riding neck in neck with just a $1,000 year earnings in difference fighting for that 2nd place title. Ryder Wright, Beaver Utah: Saddle Bronc Earnings: $273,000 plus. Saddle Bronc this year is a tighter event. The top 12 in the world fighting for their seat in the winners circle have all earned well over $150,000… This includes well known names such as Damian Brennen in 2nd with Dawson Hay right behind, Brody Wells, and Zeke Thurston all over $200,000 in 2025 earnings. Following not far behind are Ryder Wright's brothers… Statler Wright sitting in 6th, and Stetson Wright in 9th. And a shoutout to a friend of the show, Melstone, Montana cowboy Sage Newman, is right up there too sitting in 6th. Will Lummus, Byhalia, Missouri: Steer Wrestling leader with $161,000 in earnings. Tanner Tomlinson, Mineral Wells, Texas is the current world leader Team Roping Header with $153,000 plus, however it's a TIGHT race as a household favorite here Derrick Begay of Arizona is just $3,000 behind in earnings. Remember last year during the 2024 Wrangler NFR when Derrick Begay borrowed his well-known mule, John Henry, to saddle bronc favorite Zeke Thurston to ride in the first two Grand Entry parades! Levi Lord, Sturgis, South Dakota is the current world leader Team Roping Heeler with $155,000 plus. This 4x NFR qualifier is making sure the world knows there's more to Sturgis, South Dakota than just a HUGE motorcycle rally. Riley Webb, Denton, Texas is the current world leader Tie-Down Roping with $264,000 in earnings. Not a bad place to be after 2024 being his WNFR debut. Chasing him is 6x qualifier Shad Mayfield sitting with over $237,000. Cole Patterson, Pawnee, OK is currently leading world standings in Steer Roping with over $92,000. Kassie Mowry, Dublin, Texas is the world barrel racing leader at $202,000 plus in earnings. The top three looking to make this a race to watch just like in 2024 also include Texas stars Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi and Hailey Kinsel. But don't leave out the legend Lisa Lockhart as she's sitting 10th and this cowgirl knows the grind, and how to move mountains. That's just a quick snapshot of current standings as we look forward towards the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) this December.

But not Darcel Hulse. At 78 years old, the rancher grabbed his gear, called a crane, and went straight up to fix it himself. That's because flying the American flag isn't just tradition on his Salt River Ranch — it's a statement. Hulse proudly flies a 1,500-square-foot flag from the highest point on his property, and when it needed replacing, he wasn't about to sit it out. Recently in a Cowboy State Daily interview, Darcel Hulce joked, 'I'm an old guy, but I'm not afraid of heights.” And judging by the 1.4 million views on his daughter's video of the flag-raising, the country loves him for it. The massive flag — 50 by 30 feet — has become a beloved landmark in Star Valley. Locals call it “our flag,” and when it was temporarily down, the phones lit up. Everyone wanted to know when Old Glory would be back. For Hulse, raising that flag is about more than patriotism. It's about values, family, and returning to his Western roots. And while he hopes that new rope holds strong for a while — you can bet that if it doesn't, he'll be right back up there making sure that star-spangled banner keeps waving high.

These fast-growing ornamentals were once a garden favorite, but they've turned into a serious threat to Alaska's natural landscape. The ban — now statewide — blocks the import, transport, or sale of these trees, which have overrun native birch and spruce forests, especially around Anchorage and Fairbanks. They may look pretty, but they're wreaking havoc under the surface. Their berries? Toxic to moose. Their roots? So tough, new trees grow right out of the stumps. And now, they're even spreading a nasty fungal disease known as Black Knot. Not exactly the kind of greenery you want in your backyard. The good news? Officials are working hard to remove them and replace them with native trees, and this new ban is a big step forward. As Division of Agriculture Director Bryan Scoresby puts it: ‘With this quarantine, the flow of trees into Alaska will stop, making the goal of elimination more attainable.' So next time you're planting something new, remember — going native helps keep eco-systems wild, balanced, and beautiful. Check your state on plants that have landed on the Noxious or Invasive list by reaching out to your local extension agent.

The catch happened in the early morning hours of August 15, after the crew set out from Orange Beach Marina aboard the Trade Desk. Originally aiming for marlin, the six-man crew fished near deep-water oil rigs, dropping a squid bait setup hundreds of feet down overnight. Around 4 a.m., Robert noticed the reel clicking and jumped into the fighting chair for what became a four-and-a-half-hour battle. The swordfish fought hard and deep before finally surfacing—stunning the crew with its dinosaur-like appearance. Once landed, the fish was so big it filled the entire deck, forcing the crew to end their trip early. The swordfish measured 150 inches long with a 62-inch girth and is expected to break Alabama's current record of 448 pounds, pending official approval. Now my question is - Where does one find the wall space to hang a mount that big?!

Things for the Red Sox can settle down on an off-day, but the joy of Roman Anthony signing his extension should be celebrated. Anthony got lifetime money and John Henry got to save some money with the deal the two sides agree to. Then, Mike Vrabel was wearing the wounds of war while ESPN just became a super network with their NFL acquisition in the 6:30m Headlines. And, with word going around that players are going to have to bring in their own smelling salts, the league just put themselves back into an awkward situation.
From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Even though there was only one game between episodes, Gordo and Sammy got to recount to biggest headline of them all with Roman Anthony signing an extension. How happy should Red Sox fans be with the supposed future of the ballclub signing for an additional eight years of service? Also, this deal was signed well before Anthony hits the prime of his career which is something clearly John Henry and the front office learned. And, fans can stomach a loss after seven straight wins, but Dustin May didn't make the difference everyone was hoping in his Red Sox debut.

Everyone can be happy about roman Anthony being extended by the Red Sox, but reports of how the deal got done shows owner John Henry finding another way to take the cheap route.
(00:00) Zolak & Bertrand start the third hour taking more calls from the past hour discussing if the NFL should get rid of preseason football. (9:02) The guys discuss Craig Breslow and his responsibility in trade decisions; Carrabis says he is no longer for this job with the Red Sox. (16:44) We finish the hour discussing how much of an influence John Henry had in getting the Roman Anthony deal done. (24:50) We interview Revolution Head Coach Caleb Porter and discuss the importance of the team’s fanbase and their upcoming game.

Great attendance at the Roman Anthony press conference. Wonder why. John Henry cigar? What does the Red Sox future look like? Are they set for the next few years? We prefer what the Rangers and Dodgers are doing, but this could be a good move for the Sox. The sky is the limit. We hope it works out. Did Breslow break dance on the Devers trade?
John Henry alerted Roman Anthony via email about the contract extension. We want to see the email. Locking up their core is the Sox strategy. Will it work? Emulating the Atlanta Braves. They won a World Series. 2018 World Series team was very home grown. How much of a comparison is there? If the Red Sox ask you to a commercial, say no! There is some kind of curse there. ALSO, On the Clock, what to expect from Patriots preseason game 1, and some betting tips.

Listen for all the details of the Roman Anthony extension. Does the Roman Anthony contract extension prove the Red Sox are cheap? He will not become a free agent until he is in his 30s. This is one of those guys who you can see going really far in MLB. He came into the league exactly as advertised. For some that are celebrating this, are you trying to distract us from a terrible trade deadline? The guys break down the Red Sox front office decisions as a whole. We are still upset over the trade deadline, but the future is bright for Anthony and the Sox. There should be no outrage over this move. Great attendance at the Roman Anthony press conference. Wonder why. John Henry cigar? What does the Red Sox future look like? Are they set for the next few years? We prefer what the Rangers and Dodgers are doing, but this could be a good move for the Sox.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Max Shippee, author of the book Moonshine: Path of the Raven. Max grew up in rural Maine and knows the woods well. His own journey took him to Hollywood, California by way of Oklahoma, Nevada, Texas, DC, and even Bali, Indonesia. For the last 20 years, he has been busy as an actor, a gym owner, a husband, and a father. Along the way, he's had some stories brewing in that silver-haired head of his. He thought he best write them down. You can find his spontaneous science-fiction installments on Reddit, and now, MOONSHINE: THE SERIES has begun with Book One: Path of the Raven. In my book review, I stated Moonshine: Path of the Raven is a wonderful young adult fiction novel full of magical realism. I'm going to be honest - I rarely read werewolf books because I find them to be too fantastical for my liking. However, this novel kept me captivated from the beginning. I immediately fell in love with Sam, the young boy on the brink of manhood, and his protector, John. Plus, the extended cast of characters is just as enchanting! Sam starts out life as a sharecropper in the early 1900s. His family still works on the plantation that used to hold them as slaves. Although poor, Sam believes his life is good. However, everything changes the day the young plantation daughter notices Sam working. Although his life was destined to change anyway as the next Jack for a coven in upstate New York, Sam soon finds himself without a family or a place to call home. Fortunately for Sam, he soon learns that he doesn't have to journey through life alone. I love that many of the characters we meet are incarnations of legendary figures - King Author, John Henry, and more! This is a great read.

During the first hour of Ken and Curtis the guys discuss the MLB trade deadline.

(00:00) Joe opens up tonight’s show by talking about the upcoming MLB trade deadline, and what the Red Sox need to do. (10:52) The hour rolls on with a discussion about John Henry’s comments from this weekend, and what it means about the Red Sox’s deadline plans. (28:26) Hour one concludes with Pats training camp talk, and Joe takes callers to talk about anything and everything.
What are the motivations for the Red Sox at the trade deadline? Are they willing to get uncomfortable? Bradfo's EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with John Henry. Can the team afford to trade an MLB outfielder at this point?
HR 4 - John Henry gave the green light for a big offseason trade and signing, but its been a while since he's been ok with a big trade at the deadline. Should fans trust that Henry will let Craig Breslow make a big move? Then, lots of basketball talk and producer Joe Braverman wants Sox fans to have lower expectations out of the All Star break in tonight's Arcand Fire. And, Stephen Colbert shares that "The Late Show" won't be renewed in Clickbait.
HR 1 - Baseball has been rocking and rolling with their All Star festivities that has brought popularity back to the MLB. From a local standpoint, will that be enough to convince John Henry and others that the Red Sox bare worth investing in? Then, the 6:30 Headlines feature the WNBA's showcase at Td Garden with Caitlin Clark and Bill Belichick takes a compliment from Robert Kraft and turns into another dig at the Patriots' owner. And, Drake Maye may have the highest chances for a big jump in year 2, but don't overlook the struggles early on in minicamp.
Maybe Betsy is still riding high from the last American Library Association conference she attended, but we're feeling like libraries deserve lots of lovely attention. And what better book to use to that purpose than this well-known collaboration between Patricia C. McKissack and Jerry Pinkney? Can you believe that we've never done a McKissack book before? Pinkney we've definitely done before (including Sam and the Tigers, John Henry, Little Red Riding Hood, and Mirandy and Brother Wind). We discuss how Kate spoils where "someplace special" is pretty early, segregated public benches, rando celebrities, and what it means to work "without permission or pay."

Make a splash at the deadline or wait until free agency. What was John Henry's role in pushing Devers out the door
60 in 60 Watchlist: John Henry Daley, Utah DE
Assessing the rookies so far into the season. Why are they struggling so much? Roman Anthony's average better start rising soon! Jones has been defending the Breslow track record. He is no Chaim Bloom... maybe. Is he a great GM? No. John Henry keeps getting in the way. Bad move or good move with Craig Breslow's tenure in Boston. Brutally honest review. Is he a bumbling buffoon? As much as Jones has supported Breslow's moves, he has a tougher time supporting his front office hiring strategies. The AI interviews are extreme. How many AI bots are there? He tried to defend himself, but he fell on his face again. Does Breslow count as one of the AI bots? Is this a Henry issue too? A lot to think about here. Trade rumors shut down by Henry. Luis Castillo to Boston fell flat because of taxes? Would've been Casas and Yoshida for him.
