We've been keeping up with weather and crop conditions in Latin America from afar this winter, but any farmer will tell you that the national data doesn't tell you as much as seeing a crop with your own eyes. That's one of the key reasons that DTN Progressive Farmer Editor in Chief Greg Horstmeier journeyed down to Brazil earlier this month, eager to put boots on the ground and bring us the latest updates on the Brazilian crop as it's being harvested. Today, we'll hear about Greg's trip down South, including what he saw of a large soybean crop and an equally promising corn harvest.

On the policy side, we cover Thomas Massie's PRIME Act making it into the 2026 Farm Bill, National Ag Day, and the new "Product of USA" labeling standard requiring meat to be born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the U.S. to carry the label.   Oh, and Bobby Lee got his YouTube hacked.

March is always a meaningful time. It is a chance to celebrate International Women's Day and National Ag Day, all while recognizing the people who shape our agricultural landscapes. This year carries even greater significance as it also marks the International Year of the Woman Farmer and the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists. It's a moment to reflect on the contributions, leadership, and resilience of those working the land, and to highlight the stories that often go untold.At the Rangeland Trust, we're fortunate to partner with remarkable landowners across California, many of whom are women leading the way in agriculture and conservation.

A founding board member and Emeritus Council member, Darrel helped shape the Rangeland Trust's legacy, and together, the Sweet family has built a powerful story rooted in stewardship, partnership, and dedication to the land.In this episode, Rangeland Trust CEO and host Michael Delbar sits down with Karen to discuss how ranching in Alameda County has evolved, the vital role women continue to play in the industry, and the decision her family made to permanently conserve their ranch.

Markets are frisky, diesel's a bandit, and DC is still DC. Today's Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for March 24, 2026 walks through: live cattle in the mid-230s, feeders pushing the upper half of their recent range, and corn sagging with national cash around 4.18. USDA's February slaughter report still shows cattle slaughter down about 7% and beef production down around 4% year-over-year, with heavier carcass weights trying to close the gap. Boxed beef has Choice around 400 and Select just under 393. The real squeeze is fuel: U.S. on-highway diesel is sitting a little above $5.00 a gallon, roughly a dollar over EIA's full-year forecast, and up about 4% week-over-week, which quietly rewrites every freight, hay, fertilizer, and feedyard bill in your budget.

Welcome to the Harvest USA Report. I'm Brian Hale. An original production of Howard Hale Broadcasting now expanded throughout North America. The Harvest USA Report is brought to you by Hale Multimedia, the company behind Cattleman's Corner, Horseman's Corner and the Harvest USA Report. Let's continue our conversation with Oklahoma Custom Harvester David Meisner. Let's listen in. So does that put you on track then for a normal start in your season? "Time will tell. We've got a lot of time between now and then and see if it stays warm. Or if we get, seems like you've ever got some cool wet, then it just allows that wheat to take a little more time and stool if it does or just prolong that growing part and filling out and make more bushels in them kernels. So we'll just see how it comes along. But we definitely got, I think, a pretty good start and my farmers seem to be at least optimistic about the way the weather is for the start of the year." I also understand as a consultant or an advisor to the US Custom Harvesters that you're going to be in Washington soon. Is that correct? "Yeah, next week is National Ag Day. And so the US Custom Harvesters Board has been going to National Ag Day for quite a few years and we're going to go there and meet with some of our senators and representatives from across America and discuss some of the issues that we have with the Custom Harvesters Association and thoughts and ideas. And so we're going to see what we can do to continue to grow the relationships that we have with the individuals out there as well as discuss with some new individuals that we maybe haven't done yet." Oklahoma Custom Harvester, David Misener. Catch more from David on our website at harvesusareport.com. That's going to do it for today's Harvest USA Report.

Sophia Weiss is the owner of Firebird Farms, a working ranch nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains outside of Ashland. But you won’t find any Angus beef cattle roaming and grazing on the rolling hills of her 200-acre property. Instead, you’ll find a herd of about 80 Tibetan yaks which Weiss has carefully bred and built up from a pair she acquired nearly a decade ago off a Craigslist ad.  In October, the USDA Rural Development office awarded Weiss nearly $235,000 to market and develop a range of new products made from her yaks. The federal agency awarded similar grants to 10 other small Oregon farms which it announced last month, in honor of “National Ag Day 2023”. Weiss is now using the grant dollars to work with mills in the Pacific Northwest to process the yak wool she harvests by hand to make into yarn and other textile goods in the coming months. Sophia Weiss joins us to talk about her farm and why she’s bullish about the future of yak ranching in Oregon and the nation.
