This week on AgweekTV, needed rain gives growers a boost. We'll check on planting progress around the region. The Minnesota House passes an ag budget that makes up for some federal cuts. The future of meat processing is happening at Central Lakes College in Staples, Minnesota. And a South Dakota cattle rancher gets a surprise delivery in one of his calves.
A tough winter ahead for meat processing plants as livestock numbers continue to decline. Latest figures from Stats NZ show a 21% drop in sheep numbers over the past 10 years – a total decline of 6.2 million sheep since 2014. The number of dairy cattle also fell 13% over the same period. Federated Farmers Meat and Wool Chair Toby Williams told Ryan Bridge keeping livestock processing plants open, profitable, and running efficiently is a significant challenge. He says big plants are struggling to get numbers of livestock through, with close to million less lambs to process this year than last.

A state grant is helping Minnesota schools teach meat processing to students. Applications are now open for the MEAT grant, which stands for Meat Education and Training. In the first round of grants, $350,000 was dispersed across nine districts to establish or enhance meat cutting and butchery training. One of those districts was West Central Schools in Grant County. The district was granted $35,000 to support the purchase of a meat processing mobile trailer and provide up to 100 hours of hands-on training for one agriculture instructor at a local butcher shop.Eric Sawatzke is the high school agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at West Central Schools. He also helped create the state grant. He joined Minnesota Now to talk about teaching meat processing in schools.

Around 600 employees at Alliance Group's Timaru meatworks are out of a job, following an announcement that the co-op will close its Smithfield plant by the end of the year. Alliance revealed a proposal to shut the 139-year-old abbatoir two weeks ago because of a drop in sheep numbers, which was confirmed at an all-staff meeting this morning. Delphine Herbert reports from Timaru.
600 jobs are going, following confirmation the Alliance group is shutting down its Timaru meat processing plant.

Mayor Nigel Bowan said its going to have a direct impact on the region, but he's confident it will recover. A job fair has already been planned for early next month with 40 employers ready to help those looking for work. Bill Watt from the Meatworkers Union was at this mornings meeting when the worst was confirmed for workers, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

Up to 600 jobs are to go from the Alliance Group's meat processing plant in Timaru, with very little prospect of any workers being re-deployed to other plants. It's planning to wind down sheep meat, calf and venison processing at the Smithfield plant by the end of the year, a move that will carve vital jobs out of Timaru. Alliance said the proposed closure is due to a decline in sheep processing numbers caused by a change in land use, Alliance Group Chair Mark Wynne spoke to Lisa Owen.

Our guest on the podcast this week is Barbara Webster, co-founder of inMR. Barbara shares with Mark how inMR's Marbl™ technology uses nuclear magnetic resonance to measure intramuscular fat quickly, accurately and non-invasively, delivering a new standard to the industry.In the last few years, the technology has been successfully implemented in lamb-carcass grading. inMR are in the process of adapting it to other applications, such as beef carcasses and live animals. While MRI technology has been around for a while, Barbara shares the challenges of adapting this technology for industrial use in a meatworks environment. One such challenge is speed. Their current model measures around four to five carcasses a minute. One of their development projects is a twin-sensor system that will measure 10 to 12 carcasses a minute. Fortunately, another common challenge frequently faced by the industry - labour shortages - has been less of an issue for inMR. They chose to pursue an automated process, with data feeding directly into the system, rather than relying on someone standing there to do the measuring. “The weight of our sensor took us down that path, but I think it's a key point of difference and adds a lot of value,” shares Barbara.Barbara points out that funding from organisations such as MLA and SFF Futures, along with investment by Ovation New Zealand, have been instrumental in advancing these innovations. “We've been very lucky and we've had tremendous support from funding agencies that invest in new technology development,” explains Barbara. With the continuous innovation in robotics, sensors and AI, the next decade is going to be very interesting when it comes to tech in agriculture. Current technologies such as x-ray scanning and robotic cutting - along with emerging applications for MRI - are already in use. Mark and Barbara both share the belief that AI opens up doorways for automation and innovation like never before. "I think we're going to see a huge leap forward because our ability to cope with naturally varying product for automation applications is going to only become easier now with those tools,” highlights Barbara.

The Meating Place is a butcher shop and cafe located in Hillsboro. It recently received a $250,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand its meat processing capabilities. In 2022, the shop received a grant from the Oregon Department of Agriculture as part of a state meat inspection program. Processing meat in Oregon can help producers save time and money. The Meating Place will use the latest round of federal funding to ramp up those services. We check in with Casey Miller, the owner of The Meating Place to learn more about meat processing and what this means for Oregon’s economy.
In today's episode, we're exploring the meat processing industry with AMSA's experts, Dr. Robert Maddock and Dr. Christi Calhoun.

Tune in for a concise look at how this initiative is transforming meat processing.
Sarah Stallard is a 7th generation farmer who came to work with her uncles on a new farm near Las Vegas Nevada raising hogs. The farm is in partnership with the local waste and recycling company Republic Services. They lease the land from Republic Services and use food waste to feed the hogs. She says the partnership was formed “to help find a solution to organic waste." The family had always fed food scraps as pigs “are not picky about what food scraps” they eat. Sarah describes the process of collecting, sorting, and feeding tons of mixed rations from casino kitchens and buffets, facilities such as an ice cream factory, and grocery stores. What the farm produces is marketed locally, and they do face challenges due to the lack of an USDA processing plant for meat in Nevada. The family's dream is to “complete the circle” through having their locally produced food offered in the casinos. She also describes how the hogs are housed and raised sustainably and humanely. There is a lot of attention paid to what they are doing to reduce food waste, and they are “willing to help and network with other farmers,” including hosting many tours. About this work, Sarah says, “I can feel really good about what I'm doing; it's good to know that I'm making a difference daily.”____________Thanks for listening to Fresh Growth!
