Podcasts about Poultry

Links, in order of their mention on the podcast:Kierkegaard parable Andrew cites: From the Journal: Empty Nutshells...God would be loved. Therefore He wants Christians. To love God is to be a Christian...Now "man's" knavish interest consists in creating millions and millions of Christians, the more the better, all men if possible; for thus the whole difficulty of being a Christian vanishes, being a Christian and being a man amounts to the same thing, and we find ourselves where paganism ended. Christendom has mocked God and continues to mock Him—just as if to a man who is a lover of nuts, instead of bringing him one nut with a kernel, we were to bring him tons and millions...of empty nuts, and then make this show of our zeal to comply with his wish.Soren Kierkegaard, Attack Upon “Christendom” 1854-1855, translated with an introduction by Walter Lowrie, The Beacon Press, Boston, 1956. p. 156.John Frame, "Machen's Warrior Children" in Sung Wook Chung, ed., Alister E.

The Land Reform Bill is being debated at Holyrood and members of the Scottish Parliament will be voting on what's been described as landmark legislation. If passed, the bill could allow the government to intervene in private land sales and require large estates to be broken up. The proposals are controversial with landowners and some opposition politicians. Defra has announced that an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone will come into effect in the north, central and east of England. Poultry keepers with flocks of more than 50 birds will be required to keep their birds housed. The Chief Vet says prompt action is needed to prevent further spread of the disease. Himalayan balsam is an invasive species which proliferates along riverbanks. Its spread has been very hard to control. Could a fungus hold the key to controlling it? Historic man made features that lie on farmland from ancient walls to Roman forts help form the character of our countryside. For farmers however, historic features on their land can often seem like a headache rather than something to celebrate because they need conservation standard maintenance and restoration which is expensive and requires specialist skills. Historic England's ‘Countryside Stewardship Heritage Service' wadvises farmers on how to get funding for this. We visit a farm in Cumbria where a 19th century bridge and an 18th century lime kiln are in need of some tender loving care. Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Chicken prices have hit their lowest level in two years, making it the week's biggest story. Beef's slowdown continues, pork holds steady, and dairy drifts lower — but poultry steals the spotlight as the market's best deal.BEEF: Prices are still drifting lower, though the declines are slowing. Middle meats are already ticking back up, hinting that the bottom may be near — but just how long before demand heats things up again?POULTRY: Chicken prices keep sliding, with boneless skinless breasts hitting their lowest point in two years. As demand cools and avian flu flares, the question is: how much longer can this market remain this soft?GRAINS: Harvests are booming and inventories are stacked, leaving corn, soy, and wheat all stuck in neutral. With talk of a biofuel push on the horizon, could soy finally be what shakes this market awake?PORK: Pork is steady, bellies holding at $134 while production rises with cooler weather. Processors may soon start stockpiling for spring, but for now, is this the calm before the climb?DAIRY: Last week's brief rally fizzled, with cheese and butter slipping again.

Taking another approach to solar arrays. That's the goal of new legislation that's been introduced by Rep. Scott Krug and Sen. Pat Testin. Testin is the chair of the Senate Agriculture and Tourism Committee. He tells Pam Jahnke that his goal is to concentrate on using smaller parcels of ground for these solar projects, and focus on poor ground not productive farm soil. Testin says this approach has worked in other states and he thinks it would help utility rates here. Testin also sounds off on the recent announcement that DATCP wants to escalate license fees for livestock marketing associations and support industries statewide. Testin calls it a "bonehead maneuver" he hopes DATCP rethinks.A little rain and thunder activity's rolling through the state this morning but shouldn't dampen an otherwise beautiful weekend.

Getting to a solution is difficult at best. Ben Jarboe finds out about the latest attempt at middle ground from Wisconsin Congressman, Derrick Van Orden. Van Orden introduced the Agriculture Reform Act of 2025. He says with the threat of massive deportations impacting agriculture - this issue becomes national security. No food is a security issue. Van Orden wants to create an app that allows undocumented workers 1 year of protection, during which time they would need to leave the country and re-enter legally. He proposes that it can only be used by those who have been here for a long period of time and whose only crime is entering the country illegally. He says both the worker and the employer would need to pay a fine, but the payment would be good for up to 3 years of work. Van Orden worries that the current shutdown of the federal government dims the hope of getting it passed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week the markets send mixed signals – beef prices slide but middle meats refuse to budge, chicken keeps dropping while avian flu stirs again, and pork bellies dip as loins hold value. Grains stay calm and dairy finally bounces after weeks of decline. Is this the start of real relief, or just the setup for another rally?BEEF: Prices are slipping across most cuts, with chucks, sirloin flap, rounds, and grinds leading the way lower. Even ribeyes and tenderloins paused their climb, though holiday demand will likely push them higher again soon. The big question – will packers tighten harvests to stop the fall, or do we get a few more weeks of relief?POULTRY: Chicken prices keep sliding, with boneless skinless breasts hitting 18-month lows and no clear bottom yet. Production still looks strong, though government reporting is on pause during the shutdown. The real watch – does this drop keep running, or are we about to hit the floor?GRAINS: Harvest is rolling along, and markets aren't budging much. Corn slipped to $4.06 from $4.15 last week, with soy and wheat stuck in the same tight range. With big crops expected, the question is – what's it going to take to shake these markets out of neutral?PORK: Bellies keep sliding, down to $151 from last week's $169 – and that means bacon pricing should ease too. Butts and ribs are inching higher, while loins continue to shine as the best value in pork. The question now – is this just a seasonal dip, or the start of a bigger shift in pork markets? DAIRY: After six straight weeks of declines, the CME finally turned higher. Barrel is up 6, block up 10, and even butter ended its slide with a 6-point gain. The big question – is this the start of a real rally, or just a short bounce before more pressure ahead?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn
