Season 5, EPISODE 263 Common Ground Coalition Seeks To Preserve America's Food Security By Uniting Livestock Producers   Agriculture is not optional. America's food chain is only as strong as our family farms and ranches. Our livestock industry is better together and must unify with one voice. As dedicated stakeholders in the livestock industry, we call upon our fellow livestock producers and all of agriculture to join us and stand united. The time has come to prove that our industry can and will align to drive meaningful and lasting change, safeguarding the future of America's agricultural sector, rural communities and our nation's food independence. We need your help in giving America's livestock industry a common voice. The 5 Key Components Of The Common Ground Coalition 1. Achieve and Maintain Ag-Friendly Tax Policy Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions that help agriculture beyond 2025, including: Preservation of federal transfer tax lifetime exemption amounts, indexed for inflation, and Retention of step-up in basis under § 1014, and Return to 100% bonus depreciation under § 168, and Continued expanded application of § 179, and Maintenance of the § 199A qualified business income deduction. Increase the aggregate limit allowed under § 2032A to $30 million, indexed for inflation. 2. Make Risk Management Tools More Effective Increase the Livestock Risk Protection subsidy level, and Allow Livestock Risk Protection coverage to start the day price risk is assumed, and Create or improve mechanisms for industry input and oversight of risk management tools that will make them more attractive to producers. 3. Improve Access To Labor Remove the seasonality component from H-2 programs, and Create an optimized and efficient process for workers in good standing to return to the same employer year after year, and Redefine “agricultural employer” to expand its scope for purposes of H-2A programs to include more employers essential to agricultural production in the United States. 4. Increase Flexibility For Livestock Haulers Exempt livestock haulers from Hours-of-Service rules, and Permanently exempt livestock haulers from the Electronic Logging Device mandate, and Support the state and federal adoption of increased load capacity limits. 5. Create Support For Young & Emerging Livestock Producers Reform USDA programs to raise limits on guaranteed loan programs, streamline the lending process, and expand eligibility criteria. Create tax credits or incentives for leasing or selling land to, and providing capital to, younger or emerging livestock producers, including elimination of capital gains, reduced financing costs, and access to loans. Create front-loaded tax relief for buyers purchasing land for use in livestock production. Establish programs and educational programming to cultivate interest in young people to pursue careers in livestock production. Incentivize livestock producers and others, including those in academia, business, and government, to mentor young or emerging livestock producers and support new entrants into the industry. Develop technologies targeted at increasing efficiency in livestock production.

A Waikato scientist's startup has made a feedstock the company says reduces livestock methane output by as much as 90 per cent. 

Listen to the SF Daily podcast for today, November 14, 2025, with host Lorrie Boyer. These quick and informative episodes cover the commodity markets, weather, and the big things happening in agriculture each morning. The WASDE update is expected to lower U.S. yields and production but maintain steady to slightly higher carryout demand, particularly for soybean exports and corn feed. The market is influenced by interest rates, with potential steady rates in December and rising inflation. USDA predicts Brazil's soybean crop at 175 million metric tons, corn at 131 million metric tons, and wheat at 7.5 million metric tons. Drought conditions in the Midwest have expanded slightly, affecting major corn and soybean producers. Livestock futures are down, and a new sterrefly dispersal facility in Mexico raises border concerns. Red flag warnings for fire danger are issued in Northwestern Nebraska and South Dakota due to extremely dry conditions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On a farm it is inevitable that some animals will not make it, and it leads to the farmers needing to figure out the best way to dispose of the carcass. This is made even harder if the animal is euthanized due to regulations that prohibit burying those animals. In DePere there is a business that works with farmers to cremate remains of the animals no matter how large. Lauren Underhill the Owner of Camelot Cremation gives a look at how she got into this business and the process they go through to be able to handle cremating and aquamating these large animals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's episode we continue our Ten Plagues series with the plagues of Livestock Disease and Boils. We think about how these plagues are similar to climate related “plagues” in the present (smoke from forest fires) and in the recent past (dust pneumonia in the Dust Bowl) and the theorized link between a rise in epidemics and a warming climate. We also talk about the governmental mechanisms responding to the escalation of the plagues that feel like modern times, including investigation without action and the weakening ability of propaganda to make the plagues seem less severe. We conclude with the hope that we are responding better to our current situation than Pharaoh did. Follow along here: https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/667757

U.S. farmer sentiment edged slightly higher in October, with the Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer rising 3 points to a reading of 129. The increase was fueled primarily by a rise in the Index of Current Conditions, which climbed 8 points to 130, while the Index of Future Expectations was virtually unchanged at 129, just 1 point higher than in September. Farmers' appraisals of current conditions highlight a “tale of two economies”: Livestock producers remain highly optimistic about their farm conditions, partly supported by record-high profitability in the beef sector, while crop producers report a more pessimistic view of the current situation on their farms due to low profit margins across major crop enterprises. The barometer survey took place Oct. 13-17. Purdue ag economists James Mintert and Michael Langemeier review the results from the October Ag Economy Barometer and give their insights into farmer sentiment and the farm economy. The Ag Economy Barometer sentiment index is calculated each month from 400 U.S. agricultural producers' responses to a telephone survey. Further details on the full report is available at https://purdue.edu/agbarometer.

In this episode, Cal visits with Shane Maddock, a fourth-generation rancher from north-central North Dakota, where cattle country meets farm country. Shane shares the story of building a regenerative operation through drought, grazing challenges, and generations of learning. He discusses taking over a neighbor's ranch after returning from National Guard service, developing cross-fenced paddocks and a positive/negative electric system, managing water in the Prairie Pothole Region, and adjusting his grazing philosophy from “a third, a third, a third” to adaptive management guided by what the grass and cattle tell him.Topics coveredGrowing up on a holistic-management ranch and learning from his fatherLeasing cattle and structuring multi-year cow leasesDesigning high-tensile fencing and pos/neg wiring for sandy soilsTransitioning from mild rotation to intensive adaptive grazingManaging drought risk with insurance pastures and flexible enterprisesUsing Rio Max minerals and observing dramatic feed-efficiency gainsCalving-date adjustments and hybrid-vigor breeding decisionsFounding Maddock Ranch Supply and serving the communityHis father receiving North Dakota's Leopold Conservation Award If you've ever wondered how to keep cows productive through seven drought years out of eleven—or how to balance generational wisdom with modern regenerative ideas—Shane's story delivers practical lessons on adaptation, family teamwork, and faith in the land's resilience.Resources mentionedMaddock Ranch maddockranch.comMaddock Ranch Supply  maddockranchsupply.comMan, Cattle and Veld – Johan ZietsmanGrass-Fed Cattle – Julius RuechelHolistic Management – Allan SavoryDirt to Soil – Gabe BrownNorth Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition Mentorship ProgramRio Max Minerals - riomax.netLooking for Livestock that thrive on grass?  Check out Grass Based GeneticsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond Agriculture.Grazing Grass LinksNew Listener Resource GuideProvide feedback for the podcastWebsiteInsidersResourcesCommunity (on Facebook)Check out the Apiary Chronicles PodcastOriginal Music by Louis Palfrey

In this episode, Jim Gerrish (along with Joel Salatin) walks the pastures and pond banks of Polyface Farm, discussing how to balance grass, water, and livestock in a resilient grazing system. Jim explains how biological timing drives feed quality, why mechanical brush-hogging isn't always worth it, and how to use stock density as your main management lever. Joel reflects on the financial realities of hay-making, customer consistency, and the long-term payoffs of soil recovery and water design. They also explore the ecological lessons behind land recovery—from erosion scars to thriving ponds—and how understanding nature's laws can help graziers make better decisions every day.

A new conversation with Jonathan Lundgren, one of the world's most interesting and most cited scientists when it comes to regenerative agriculture. For the last four years, Jonathan and his team have been in full swing with their 1000 Farms Initiative, where they document research and follow regenerative farms, actually closer to 1600 farms now.An episode where we talk about data, data, and more data. We unpack a four-year effort that spans commodities, ecoregions, and management styles, revealing how regeneration scales in the real world. The results are striking: equal or better yields, stronger profits, higher biodiversity, improved water infiltration, and a path to substantial soil carbon storage.But it isn't just about that. It's about farmers' health and happiness. It's about pushing our imagination of what farmland could look like. It's about the outliers in these studies that show us what is possible: more people on the land, more farmers connected to every acre being managed. It's about producing food for your family and community.  More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

Did you know that cows emit methane when they burp? Livestock account for over 12% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, but farmers and scientists have discovered a superfood that might be the key to lower emissions—and raise healthier cows. In this episode, Ryan and Anjali investigate the mystery of Asparagopsis, a seaweed variety that removes methane from the guts of the animals who eat it. The catch? There are only nine licensed growers in the world. Ryan and Anjali are joined by three experts to talk about the science behind this amazing plant, the benefits we're already seeing from the animals who eat it, and the next steps for scaling up its use by farmers around the world.
