Infertility rates have nearly doubled in the past decade, accompanied by a sharp rise in chronic diseases like diabetes and heart conditions, yet public awareness remains limited. Despite an $11.5 billion budget and extensive resources, the CDC focuses on who and where rather than why Americans are increasingly unhealthy. Socio-economic status emerges as the primary predictor of chronic disease prevalence, overshadowing factors like diet and processed food consumption. The Amish and Mennonite communities, with their traditional farming and low-processed diets, offer contrasting health outcomes, raising questions about the impact of modern food processing practices on public health.

In this episode, South Dakota rancher Dan Rasmussen discusses the evolution in practice and mindset needed to sustain ranching in South Dakota. Rasmussen emphasizes the importance of maintaining certain traditional elements of cowboy culture, like community cooperation, while adapting modern, sustainable practices for the benefit of the land, people, and livestock.Rasmussen's family has been on their South Dakota ranch since 1914. He expresses the need for ranchers to operate their businesses efficiently to preserve the prairie and its ecosystem. He highlights the role of healthy soil, achieved through improved grazing management, as the key to sustainable ranching. Rasmussen's approach involves increasing stocking rates, protecting native prairie, and enhancing soil health to maintain the ranching culture and benefit the environment.Rasmussen's involvement with the South Dakota Grassland Coalition, where he manages a consulting program to help ranchers implement conservation practices, reflects his commitment to these principles. He discusses the value of education, openness and curiosity in transitioning from conventional season-long grazing to rotational grazing practices that enhance soil health.Rasmussen also emphasizes the importance of working with nature within ranch management. He discusses the value of rotational grazing, explaining how moving cattle through different pastures in a systematic way helps maintain soil health and supports natural processes. This method allows grass to grow, get grazed, and recover, which ensures better insulation for the soil and longer periods of microbial activity, even in winter.When addressing the challenges ranchers face in transitioning to new grazing practices, Dan introduces the Dunning-Kruger effect. This psychological phenomenon describes how people with limited knowledge often overestimate their competence, while those with more experience recognize the complexity and feel less confident. Dan explains that new ranchers often get excited and invest heavily after attending a grazing school, only to face difficulties and become disillusioned. To combat this, he stresses the importance of making small, manageable changes and building a support network of mentors and consultants. Overall, Dan advocates for gradual change, continuous education, and collaboration to achieve healthy soil and successful ranch management while preserving the beneficial elements of traditional ranching culture.Links:Downloadable file with 3 graphics that Dan discusse namely (1) Cowboy Life (2) continuum of grazing practices and (3) Dunning-Kreuger effect.https://f128aa36-278c-4eaa-b840-56a99c2a36ae.usrfiles.com/ugd/f128aa_93829f834b9746e0896f54759b2946f5.pdfOur Amazing Grasslands Video of the 33 ranch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXWZhkOiyZ4SD Grasslands Coalition: https://sdgrass.org/SD Grasslands Coalition Range Consulting program: https://sdgrass.org/range-consulting-program/SD Grasslands Grazing School: https://sdgrass.org/grazing-school/

Modern Agriculture is as much about business acumen as it is about tending to fields and orchards. That's where Damian Mason comes in. Mason hosts the wildly popular podcast, The Business of Agriculture, which provides a lively, in-depth look at fundamental farm issues that often don't get a lot of attention.Mason uses comedy and a self-described acerbic approach to handle issues like farm succession, soil health, ag real estate and regenerative ranching.Mason believes the relative affluence of the American consumer provides a huge opportunity for those in Ag, if producers understand what the public wants and how to get it to them.“We still have a commodity mindset, because we produce commodities,” he remarked. “The consumers aren't necessarily commodity minded. They're not thinking ‘how cheap can I get this gallon of milk for'? They're thinking ‘how can I get milk that makes me feel good'? There's opportunity in this industry to get more margin.”A Purdue University graduate, Mason left his sales job with a Fortune 500 company to branch out on his own to put his creativity to better use. He's a published author, keynote speaker and carries out a weekly podcast, among other enterprises.Redox Bio-Nutrients will be a sponsor of Mason's The Business of Agriculture Podcast in 2024.

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, David Montgomery, a MacArthur Fellow, and Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Washington, and Anne Biklé, published science writer and public speaker. Together, they've recently published: What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health, a book that builds on their trilogy of books about soil health, microbiomes, and farming.David is an internationally recognized geologist who studies the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. He is the author of several textbooks in his field and his work has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, television, and radio.Anne draws on her background in biology and environmental planning to explore humanity's tangled relationship with nature through the lens of agriculture, soil, and food. Her writing has appeared in digital and print magazines, newspapers, and her work has been featured in radio and independent documentary films.In this episode, David and Anne talk about the power of regenerative gardening, the need for conventional agriculture to modernize rapidly, and address the primary issue with current agriculture: monocultures.Key Quote“Most of what feeds the world are not these big, mega farms. It's small farmers, most of whom are women. When you look at things on a global basis, it's not the North American grain farmer. I look at the incredible food waste, at least in North America, and it's like, do we really need to scale up if we're throwing 30 or 40 percent of our food away? And it's not just food we're throwing away, there was a lot of petrochemicals and a lot of agrochemicals and a lot of people's time that went into getting that kind of a yield, and we're throwing that away. That's just wasteful.” - Anne Biklé“In terms of individual consumer action, you look for the regenerative label in stores. People are starting to label food as regenerative now. A way that consumers can support that movement is to actually start eating that food, see how you like it. If you can connect with regenerative farmers at farmers markets and find out what they're doing and support them, supporting farmers who are doing the right thing by their land is a really good thing to do as a consumer. But it's not always possible to tell that when you go into a grocery store with the signals that we get of exactly how your food was sourced. And so there's also the idea of trying to exert political pressure on elected representatives.” - David MontgomeryEpisode Timestamps(02:18) David and Anne's current roles(11:48) Getting involved in their work(23:04) Collaborating with other scientists(29:46) Conventional versus modern agriculture(39:52) Addressing the problem of agriculture: monocultures(47:53) How to contribute to reforming agriculture globallyLinksDig2Grow.comPhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

Underappreciated and overlooked, the emergence of the farm tractor and the birth of modern agriculture is not what you think. The race to introduce the farm tractor to the farmer was as bitter and hard fought as the race between Ford, Dodge, and General Motors. And Henry Ford, whose lifelong dream was to build a tractor, was at the center. Automobiles were luxuries. But the tractor and the power farming revolution it ushered in would revolutionize the world in a different way, allowing a shrinking farm population to feed a growing world. From the boardroom to the courtroom, from the draft table to the factory and the farm, the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man's landing on the moon or the advent of the Internet. Against the backdrop of a world war and economic depression, Tractor Wars is the unknown story of industry stalwarts and disruptors, inventors and administrators racing to invent modern agriculture. Before John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten war for the farm. “Mr. Dahlstrom…has written a superb history of the tractor and this long-forgotten period of capitalism in U.S. agriculture. We now know the whole story of when farming, business and the free-market economy diverged, divided and conquered.”-Michael Taube, Wall Street Journal“Neil Dahlstrom's Tractor Wars engagingly tells the story of one of the great business battles of the twentieth century. Anyone interested in business, agriculture, or tractor history will enjoy this great tale, well-told.”Gary Hoover, Executive Director, American Business History CenterBefore John Deere, Ford, and International Harvester became icons of American business, they were competitors in a forgotten battle for the farm. By the turn of the twentieth century, four million people had left rural America and moved to cities, leaving the nation's farms shorthanded for the work of plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, and threshing. That's why the introduction of the tractor is an innovation story as essential as man's landing on the moon.This is a second episode featuring Mr. Dahlstrom. The earlier episode was a discussion of John Deere the individual and of the first years of the company. Support the show

The day after Spring begins, the American farm sector has, for years, been celebrating National Ag Day. To commemorate the official announcement every March by the secretary of Agriculture, ag industry leaders flock to DC to talk with lawmakers and whip up support for the sector ahead of another season. But the global pandemic put the in-person version of these festivities on hold for many years, and a plan originally scheduled to take place in 2019 was put off. This year, it has come to fruition, culminating in a major upgrade for National Ag day that included a two day demonstration of the technologies of Modern Agriculture on the National Mall. This week, we're joined by DTN Progressive Farmer editor in chief Greg Horstmeier, who not only attended the events in that nation's capitol this week, but has spent much time over the last three years planning them. We'll hear about the vision, how the events worked out, and how they might set the tone for an uncertain year.

Farmers across Western Canada have received or are awaiting the results of their soil tests in order to make important decisions about fertilizer applications for the year ahead. Canola Council of Canada agronomy specialist Warren Ward says without soil testing, producers are guessing how much nutrients are in the soil and how much fertilizer is needed to hit target yields. He explains how soil sampling is the starting point of a good nutrient management plan. The driving force of the agriculture industry is the resilient, hardworking, and dedicated individuals along the value chain who produce high-quality, safe food that feeds the world. As we become more urbanized it is increasingly important for farmers to connect with consumers and teach the public about modern agriculture. Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Executive Director Clinton Monchuk will talk about how agriculture month offers an opportunity to engage and build trust. Clinton is also a farmer, and he will share with us what this growing season has been like on his family farm near Lanigan, Sask. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I have long held the opinion that the United Nations is an activist organization not unlike PETA or the Environmental Working Group. The notable exception being that the U.N.'s funding comes from taxpayers of its wealthy nation members. In anticipation of this Fall's COP26 summit on climate change, the U.N. released another of its studies, which usually paint Agriculture as environmental evil doer. Todd Thurman joins me to share the real facts about Ag's environmental footprint and explains how modern farming practices can benefit the environment. Sponsored by LandTrust landtrust.com

LISTEN to the FULL episode 23 of "Independent Thought & Freedom" w/ Hussein Askary BELOW!In this unprecedented meltdown of the oil market, the radical ideas of Lyndon LaRouche seem more sensible than ever for the oil-producing economies and war-torn countries of Southwest Asia (the "Middle East").Peace can only be the result of all the peoples and groups working together to solve the biggest and most fundamental problems of the region: develop a solution to the Water Shortage, institute Modern Agriculture techniques, develop nuclear power and use oil for technological and industrial development, rather than selling it for other countries to burn and keeping the money in Western banks.This is an eye-opening interview, and it leads very nicely into The International Schiller Institute's Conference: "Mankind's Existence Now Depends on the Establishment of a New Paradigm", happening this weekend, April 25-6, where Hussein and myself will be making contributions

“We're now working on robots that can go through a field, and through imagery, differentiate between weeds, plants, and insects, and target them as they go along.” - Jenny Maloney (11:24 - 11:47)Lori TaylorThe Produce Moms   Jenny Maloney is a Food Chain and Sustainability Manager at Bayer Crop Science. She is extremely passionate and knowledgable about the agriculture industry, and she has been instrumental in starting many of the farmer's markets in the Fresno, CA area. She grew up on a small farm, and she has witnessed the transformation of the agriculture industry first-hand.   Technology Has Transformed the Agriculture Industry   Technology has had an enormous impact on almost every industry during the last few decades, and agriculture is no exception. In the earlier days of the twentieth century, farmers and growers had to be creative to remain profitable. Animals were heavily involved in the harvesting process, and approximately 30% of the workforce took part in agriculture.   Today, we have robots that can go through the fields, and through imagery, differentiate between weeds, plants, and insects. We can use drone imagery to see the changes in a field over the span of a few years. Growers have access to large amounts of data that enable them to make better decisions. Also, agriculture only accounts for 2% of the workforce today, as a result of the vastly increased efficiency in the industry.   “For any young women that are interested in a career in agriculture, the opportunities are endless as long as they are eager to learn, and are willing to work hard.” - Jenny Maloney (15:31 - 15:49)   The Increased Role of Women in Agriculture   Traditionally, women's roles were limited in the agriculture industry, but today the opportunities are endless, and there are various ways to get involved. For example, women can identify consumer trends like the rising popularity of avocados, and create marketing plans that encourage people to eat more avocado toast. They are also increasingly active on the field. With an understanding of crop weather patterns, they can help in making decisions on when to harvest, when to fertilize, and more.   The industry mindset has significantly evolved regarding women's role in agriculture. It is no longer uncommon for women to occupy upper management roles in industry-leading companies like Bayer, both in the United States and globally. Today, for young women that are willing to learn and work hard, the sky is the limit in the agriculture industry.   Modern Agriculture is Encouraging Kids to Eat Fresh Produce   Fresh fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of a healthy diet for both adults and kids, but research has shown that most kids in America are not getting their daily recommended amount. It is a difficult problem to solve because children generally aren't predisposed to liking vegetables. Modern farming and innovative companies like Bayer Crop Science are taking a multi-prong approach in making fresh produce more palatable for kids.   Bayer and other companies are partnering with various school districts and donating equipment to make vegetables more accessible to kids in those communities. They're also working to encourage kids to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables when they are not in school. However, there's more to making vegetables appealing to kids than just introducing it to them. It helps to pique their interest in fresh produce and to make it fun for them to eat.   To help make vegetables more exciting and fun for kids, Bayer has undertaken some innovative projects. They are working on home garden products, which can be an excellent opportunity for kids to grow their own food in their backyards. This would help them develop a connection with healthy produce, and they'll be more likely to eat it. On a larger scale, they are working on seed technology, the vast majority of which are non-GMO, that makes fruits and vegetables more palatable to kids, in a way that's sustainable to all stakeholders.   “I think a lot of people probably have no idea about the incredible things happening at the seed level to help increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables.” - Lori Taylor (33:19 - 33:30)   Organic vs. Conventional Farming   Many people are confused about whether or not it is really important to eat organic vegetables. With current farming and environmental standards, they'd be happy to know that it is absolutely safe to eat either kind. The difference lies in how they are grown. There are rigorous standards in place to get the USDA Organic seal, and growers are not allowed to use any synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. So, organic farmers have to come up with more natural, and mostly manual, ways to prevent pests from destroying their crops. As far as vegetables that are farmed conventionally, the EPA has stringent rules in place for both the development and use of synthetic crop protection products.   As technology increases, the produce industry will continue to move forward as well. However, in the midst of all of the change, the importance of fresh produce remains the same. Organic or conventional, make sure your family is getting plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, to stay healthy and strong.     How to get involved Join The Produce Moms Group on Facebook and continue the discussion every week!

John D. Liu is passionate about ecosystem restoration, and has been championing the solutions and associated philosophies for more than thirty years. Join us as we explore our inextricable connections to nature through John's eyes. Prepared to be inspired and challenged as John shares some of his journey. We go into the thinking behind the degenerative systems, how they came to be, and what he sees as the necessary evolution of human consciousness to move into regenerative systems.He is currently the Ecosystem Ambassador for the Commonland Foundation, and a visiting research fellow at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Links:Commonland FoundationEcosystem Restoration CampsERC Facebook PagePublished works - Academia page A few of John's documentaries:Green GoldHope In A Changing Climate   SHOW NOTES Background- background in journalism, camera work, television & radio- saw a lot of ego and hubris- realised that contributing to environmental healing was much more meaningful- changed to ecological research- began lecturing and speaking on his research- came to believe knowledge is a right, not a commodity- hopeful that future generations will carry this shift in thinking  John's Message- discussion of the Loess plateau, its ecological destruction and subsequent restoration- it is not inevitable that humans degrade their environment- we have looted the earth- by contrast, in nature there is no waste- nature accumulates each generation- a human collective consciousness is needed, not just experts- felt like a detective figuring out what had gone wrong in barren places- living separated from each other and our environment = the result is deserts, wars, etc- there is no need for us to destroy our natural systems  The Impact of Modern Agriculture- humans have spent a lot of time decreasing biodiversity- modern agriculture is only 10-12,000 years old- there are no exposed soils in natural systems (with a few exceptions)- monoculture: human ancestors spread certain kinds of plant while killing many others  Hope For The Future- Commonland is working on the principle of “4 returns”- return 1: inspiration- return 2: social capital - jobs, happiness, normal relationships- return 3: natural capital- return 4: return on investment, financial- many people are beginning to be aware- idea of ecological restoration live-in camps- holistic view of life experience & development  Making Changes- our descendants' quality of life will be determined by what we learn, and how much we understand- we have it in our power to restore paradise- if our intention is to restore the earth, we will do it- John believes this is our duty to do so- what is the result of consciousness and generosity- it's necessary to move to the next level of consciousness- not just a meme or a catchphrase, but a true understanding of our symbiotic relationship with the natural world  Final Thoughts- collaborative learning- not institutions that will accomplish it, but people- this work needs to be done from an ecological standpoint, but also with a view to living together in peace- these go hand in hand 

This week's guest on Open Mic is Dr. Robb Fraley, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Monsanto.
