Podcasts about land o lakes

I sit down with Joey Fernandes a 3rd generation dairy farmer. He currently serves on the corporate board of Land O Lakes, the National Milk Producers Federation Board, the Animal Science Advisory board for Cal-Poly, the Dairy Committee for the Agricultural Council of California, and previously on the Dairy Council of California. We talk about everything from raw milk, to GMOs, to environmental regulations farmers face in California.

Two news headlines... which one is from the great state of Florida?! A lot of great headlines from this morning's game... did you get a perfect score like Michelle from Land O Lakes?

Do It All Dad releases a sample chapter from his election special Just Red Pilled.

We continue with little Josie growing, and Lego continuing to uhhh...Lego. This time with the kids at the zoo! We get another appearance of the Cracker Jack cosplay, hopefully not the last. In our Dig, we get into one of the numerous Billy G's. We are slowly covering all of the Grahams, Billy maybe Teddy. (I love teddy grahams!) We explore his Revival's Explosion onto the scene and how he became "America's Pastor". Please do not let any Mrs Butterworth's or Land O Lakes on the table if I'm eating by myself without Whitney.

The boys drink and review Royal Crush from Flying Dog Brewery, then discuss how the combination of two events -- the death of George Floyd and the Covid pandemic -- made America crazy. (Starting at 3:40.) The confluence of these two events was just too much for the collective psyche. Everything had to change. + We had to get rid of the Indian princess on Land O Lakes. + The NFL put silly sayings in end zones and helmets. + All the voting laws had to change. + You have to believe that men can have periods and play in women's sports. + Public drug use and defacation became a right. + Tent cities and shoplifting became acceptable. + Angry mobs can pull down public monuments with no consequences. + ... and many more things .... We attained peak anger. Every grievance had to be aired and addressed. P&C list some of the craziness, then try to explain why it happened.

The Cabin is presented by the Wisconsin Counties Association and this week we're featuring Lincoln County: https://bit.ly/3QvVgDlThe Cabin is also brought to you by Group Health Trust: https://bit.ly/3JMizCXCampfire Conversation: Ana, Eric, and Jake explore winter activities in Wisconsin with an eye on the more unique approaches. Sure, you can go skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling, and partake in many of the other typical winter activities, but how about sleigh rides, skijoring, and everybody's favorite New Year's activity (or one to avoid), the polar bear dips? We cover where you can take a sleigh ride across the winter season, not just during Christmas; how skijoring became popular in Wisconsin and places where you can partake, competitively or just for fun; plus some of the most famous places to jump into the frigid waters of Wisconsin's lakes to ring in the New Year, and a number of polar bear dips happening yet this winter, including February and March, in which you can partake. Ice boating is another popular sport you don't find in many other states, but we cover the history, the unique nature of this sport, and how Wisconsin has some of the best (frozen) waters for ice boating and racing, including some in Madison. Another unique feature is the Ice Caves, which during particularly cold winters form along the shores of Lake Superior off the coast of Bayfield County. They already have boat tours of those areas at times, but when the lake freezes well enough a walk on foot is particularly awe-inspiring. Winter festivals around the state offer some unique takes, including the Scandihoovian Winter Festival in Mount Horeb, JanBoree in Waukesha, the ice drags at the Merrill Winter Festival and more - something we detail both in this episode and in some upcoming. Of course, Wisconsin has a number of unique spots for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing - Jake has you covered on that angle. Yes, winters get long in Wisconsin, but with this guide you can maximize the fun in ways you can't in other states. Join us for the tour!  Inside Sponsors:Visit Lake Geneva: https://bit.ly/3wHvilf

The Cabin is presented by the Wisconsin Counties Association and this week we're featuring Jackson County: https://bit.ly/3zxUStdThe Cabin is also brought to you by Group Health Trust: https://bit.ly/3JMizCXCampfire Conversation: With the meat of snowmobiling season still just ahead of us, Eric, Ana, and Jake welcome Dylan Rose and Jack Sarama into The Cabin. These Wisconsin natives host the snowmobiling show Boondock Nation, where they tour all over the U.S. and Canada and sled coast-to-coast to showcase trails and destinations. In this episode, they focus on Wisconsin's snowmobiling trails and destinations. Discussions include the extensive network of trails (over 25,000 miles of trails criss-cross Wisconsin), the intense work involved in grooming and maintaining thousands of those trail miles, plus some great stops along the way. Some particular destinations receive focus, including the Eagle River and Land O Lakes areas and over to St. Germain and Sayner, where the modern style snowmobile was invented. The trails in many North Woods areas and the adjoining U.P. of Michigan often use former railroad rights-of-way and expansive lakes that allow you to really “open up” on the trails. Additional trail systems exist throughout the state, including Langlade County which bills itself as the “county of trails.” Additional systems in southern Wisconsin, where the seasons are shorter for snowmobiling, also offer trails closer to the larger cities. When you wish to ride off-trail but still want to have guidance and avoid private property, apps like OnX Offroad help you do just that. Yes, some key apps and equipment for better snowmobiling gets covered in this episode, too. Some events centered around snowmobiling happen across the state too, including radar runs and group rides; we dive into some of those, too, including the one at Bent's Camp near Land O Lakes, which Jack and Dylan frequent when they're not filming out west. This episode will definitely prep you for snowmobiling season, and as Jack said, remember: in the end, we're all squeezing the same throttle.Connect to Boondock Nation: https://boondocknation.com/Discover more about the onX Offroad app: https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/appConnect to the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs: https://awsc.org/Get maps of snowmobile trails across Wisconsin: https://www.sco.wisc.edu/maps/snowmobile-trail/Inside Sponsors:Washington County -  https://bit.ly/3qayJALShop Discover Wisconsin - https://shop.discoverwisconsin.com

This week's guest on Open Mic is Tom Ryan, President of Truterra.  Sustainability has become a new hurdle for farmers, agribusiness, industry and policymakers to address. Ryan says the private industry willing to invest in sustainable agriculture practices are as diverse as the farmers and soil they till to meet the demands placed on their overall productivity.  Truterra, the Sustainability Division of Land O Lakes is helping to bridge the opportunities of sustainable ag practices between those companies willing to invest and those farmers who have proven willing to embrace agronomic practices benefitting both productivity and sustainability. Ryan believes cooperation between farmers, USDA, ag retailers and industry can lead to shared success in environmental stewardship.

This show features local Denver comedians talking about anything and everything within the Colorado comedy scene. We hope to create a space where people can say whatever they want, and we are not a success until we have someone lose their job at SNL. This week on the podcast we have Rachel Crowe (Barjory Buffet) & Oshee Baugus (Chapel Perilous). This episode starts off hot with a story of an Astro-nut and never loses steam with lessons on everything from crypto-jews to why M&M's were invented for diplomacy. There's a story of a NASA engineer addicted to moon rocks (crack), a recap of Oshee's benefit show and Rachel is educated on Jenkem. Oshee does a perfect impression of Jordan Peterson, and he talks about why he personally misses the Land-O-Lakes lady. We go through a view submitted voicemails and try out a few new bits and games, but the entire episode is a whirlwind of fun and chaos. Throughout the show, we break down jokes, tell stories from the local scene and discuss all of the important things happening all around the world. The hosts Evan Fitzgerald and Dylan Kantor had a great time with these guests and would like to thank them for coming by the studio!

We welcome Dr Jennifer Wells, an agronomist with Land O Lakes, Truterra to the podcast in honor of Soil Health Day. Together, we examine the impact of soil health on the way we produce food and how we can leverage technology to measure and improve soil health for a food system that is more resilient to climate change. We also discuss the gender gap in science, tech, and agriculture -- and her advice to young women who are considering ag science as a career.

On the show today is Kyle Okke, regional agronomist at Winfield United. Most listeners are familiar with Winfield United, the large ag retail network that is part of Land O Lakes, a member-owned cooperative. Kyle is responsible for being a technical resource on anything related to crop protection, which includes employee training, customer education, troubleshooting, and technical advice. His job is impressive both in it’s scope of responsibilities, but also in its geography. Kyle covers from the Red River Valley all across North Dakota and Montana. With his experience of working very different areas of the state agronomically, he’s seen where farmers are generally the same, and where things are different.Today we navigate a variety of topics from tillage to carbon to pH to mistakes he’s seen some farmers make in a dry year like this one. “I definitely think it doesn't matter who they are as a farmer. I think they all have the same goal in mind and it's passing on what they have to the next generation….You can't just mine your soil, deplete it of all its nutrients, and deplete it of all its resources. ” - Kyle Okke He is seeing a trend with producers increasingly focusing on balanced fertility programs, better moisture retention, and making adjustments to retain as much topsoil as possible. Whether the producer wants to call it “soil health” or not the objective is to prolong the viability of ground they have available to farm. He has observed a lot of success and increasing popularity with strip tilling practices as a compromise between better agronomics and soil health. He cautions producers from focusing on any one factor as an individual. For example, increasing carbon levels without adjusting for the carbon to nitrogen ratio. The concern here is that increased crop residue that leads to increased carbon in the soil will also temporarily tie up nitrogen in the soil. So rather than focusing on the carbon by itself, looking at the carbon as part of a system seems to be a better use and adjustment for soil health. He offers his opinion on carbon credits in light of this opinion. “The big thing is that this is incentivizing good soil health practices. That's what I see behind it is that it's an incentivization to do the right thing, you know, just to start building soil health.” - Kyle Okke As a final note, Kyle shares that he sees technology as a significant investment that will have a good return in the long term for producers. “I think technology is really going to pay for those guys that are adopting it and utilizing this data that they're collecting.” This Week on Soil Sense: Meet Kyle Okke, regional agronomist at Winfield United Learn about his experience and observations of trends working across the states of North Dakota and Montana Explore his views on different agronomic practices from a high-level systems perspective rather than looking at one nutrient or factor at a time Be sure to listen to The Agronomist Happy Hour Podcast that Kyle co-hosts. He recommends the episode called Complaints and Cocktails Connect with Soil Sense: Soil Sense Initiative Soil Sense Podcast is hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.

Sustainability is shaping the U.S. dairy industry’s future, making it better equipped to make sure the world has the nutrition it needs, says Pete Kappelman, a longtime dairy farmer and Land O'Lakes' Senior Vice President of Member and Government Relations.  “U.S. dairy farmers are deeply involved and concerned about the many communities that they touch. And that starts with producing a safe, nutritious, affordable food, but it also includes things like being good stewards of the land, for the good of the planet,” as well as being able to pass a farm down to future generations, said Kappelman in a Dairy Defined podcast. “In order to feed a growing population, we've got to work together across continents, across cultures and markets to make abundant nutritious food available so everyone can realize their full potential.”

North Carolina ranks third among states when it comes to agricultural diversity, but roughly 80% of crops grown here is shipped out of the state to be processed.

In this month’s episode, we’re looking at how companies FINALLY addressed racist imagery in their products following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. We look at brands like Uncle Ben’s, Land-O-Lakes, and the infamous Washington Redskins to discuss why this pervasive imagery could be more harmful than you think. Later, we break down dozens of Aunt Jemima commercials throughout the decades in order to turn the brand’s unsavory slogan, “What took you so long?” into a personal challenge. Why the hell did it take decades before the scarf-wearing Mammy figure and her racist origins were addressed? How did they try to rebrand Aunt Jemima over time without actually addressing the issue? And was their eventual rebranding enough?15 racist brands, mascots, and logos that were considered just another part of American lifehttps://www.businessinsider.com/15-racist-brand-mascots-and-logos-2014-6#uncle-ben-1946-present-2Cream of Wheat to Drop Black Chef From Packaging, Company Sayshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/27/business/cream-of-wheat-man.htmlOpinion | My Native American father drew the Land O’Lakes maiden.

Editor Walt Cooley interviews Pete Kappelman, the senior vice president of member and government relations for Land O’Lakes. They talk about sustainability and more, specifically about Land O’Lakes’ recent decision to perform on-farm sustainability assessments for all of their membership and what that will look like in practice. Kappelman says that agriculture has been “dragging its feet” a bit in the area of sustainability, but he’s excited the newest generation of dairy farmers – like the one that has taken over his own family farm – sees it as an opportunity.

Laura Boll, her husband, and their two young children thought the Northwoods would provide them a brief refuge. They came to stay at their vacation home between Land O’Lakes and Phelps as the pandemic started last March. “We came up here the week that happened, thinking, maybe we’ll be here for a couple weeks to a couple months,” Boll told WXPR in September. The family lived in a Chicago suburb but opted to try to wait out the worst of COVID-19 at their second home on Kildare Lake. “We were in a small, three-bedroom rental house with a teeny backyard [in Chicago]. Up here, the house is way bigger, way more land, way more space,” Boll said. When we first talked, spring had bled into summer, the pandemic hadn’t eased, and the family decided to enroll the kids at Land O’Lakes Elementary School. But it thought it might well eventually head back to Chicago. Now, the story is different. We caught up with Boll again this week to see how things were going. The family decided to stay long-term
