A good mentor is like a guiding light, illuminating the path ahead with knowledge and experience. They help their mentees grow, develop and reach their full potential. On the other hand, a bad mentor usually lacks the proper education and knowledge, which can skew their personal experiences, rendering their advice useless. This leaves the mentee feeling frustrated and lost. When we compare the two mentors, one tends to provide conflicting advice, which can confuse or even undermine their mentees' confidence. While the other is based on science and common sense. Every step forward should be a validation that they are on the right path.

Seven with Kevin featuring Illinois Farm Bureau Executive Director of Governmental Affairs and Commodities Kevin Semlow. Monthly update from Illinois Department of Agriculture Director Jerry Costello.  IL Corn's Megan Dwyer testifies before Senate Ag Committee.  Jennifer Russell with the Illinois Lyme Association brings attention to Lyme Disease Awareness Month.  

So-called ‘chlorinated chicken' has been a major sticking point in US-UK trade talks, one of the red lines British farmers say the Government cannot cross. But US Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, says we've got the wrong end of the stick about how their chicken is produced nowadays. So is chlorine washed chicken merely a “myth to dispel”? We look for some clarity.It's been obligatory to keep all poultry and captive birds indoors in some parts of England under the Government's mandatory housing restriction order to help prevent the spread of bird flu. That order has been lifted this morning because the risk of avian flu has reduced.As part of our week looking at grass, today we visit a turf farm. There's a big market for turf from gardeners, golf courses and for sports pitches and parks, and it's not just for the pristine tightly-mown grass, you can even buy specialist turfs for green roofs, and species-rich and wild-flower turfs too. The Government's Farming in Protected Landscapes programme has funded river re-wiggling, school visits to farms and even the creation of Lake District tweed since it began in 2021, and now it's making life easier for rock climbers with disabilities in the Peak District. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Our continuing theme throughout this series has been, “Are You a True Breeder or a Multiplier?” There are many benefits in becoming a true breeder, and we discussed this in the last episode, however, not everybody can become a true breeder, due to what it takes to make that happen. So, what are the obstacles?  The list is long, but here are some of the points we will address: ·      How do we find the right information?  ·      How do we find the right Mentor?  ·      And, how do we find the right Seed Fowl?  Information, especially good information, is harder to find than ever before, even though we have the internet. Finding mentors who know what they are talking about is getting harder, because most are stuck on old wives' tales. And, Seed Fowl are getting harder to find, because most birds don't represent their breed, and are nothing more than mongrels. And then there are the peddlers.  The sad truth is that there are very few true breeders today. In fact, there are more peddlers than there are true breeders. They use medications to hide weakness to disease, they play the name game and percentage game, and they say they have pure fowl, but only sell crosses. What are we to do, when there seems to be so many obstacles in our way to becoming a true breeder? That is exactly what we will be talking about in this episode. Make sure to join us, this is a show you do not want to miss.  Make sure to follow and watch our future shows. We plan to dive deep into the world of breeding and genetics, nutrition and health management, and provide essential tips, so you too can create high quality strains.  Whether you're breeding domestic chickens, gamefowl, or various types of livestock, this show is for you.  Join us on Bred to Perfection Live, Friday's at 6pm PST or 9pm EST on YouTube, as we discuss the benefits of creating your own strain.

From America's bestselling grilling authority, an essential guide to Griddles, including delicious recipes and the do's and don'ts of grilling. Prized for their accessibility and versatility—and because they're so much fun to use—griddles (also known as planchas and flat-tops) are soaring in popularity. Project Griddle features the trademark Raichlen approach, with plenty of practical cooking techniques and nearly 80 hunger-inducing recipes. Project Griddle traces the history and geography of griddling, from the teppan of Japan to the plancha of Spain to champa grilling in South America. Steven knows about gear!  A whole chapter showcases the various types of stand-up and portable flattops and planchas, plus the requisite accessories, how to season and maintain a griddle, how to oil and cook on it, with chefs' shortcuts, and some pitfalls to watch out for. And then there are the recipes—each one as outrageously delicious and foolproof as the last, for classics like the crispiest smash burgers and tapas bar shrimp to an entire suite of heretofore un-grillable foods—egg-and-bacon breakfast feasts, potato latkes, crepes, French toast, and smoky fried rice. The book is divided into these chapters: Breakfast; Tapas; Sandwiches; Burgers & Sausages; Flatbreads & Tortilla Dishes; Meat; Poultry; Seafood; Vegetables, Rice, and Tofu; Desserts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Beef remains tight — production ticks up slightly, but grilling season and shifting demand are pushing grinds higher. Some middle meats are cooling, others still heating up.Poultry prices still split — tenders climb, breasts stay high, wings dip again. Production's up and bird flu cases stayed low this week.Grains drift down — corn and wheat slide, soy holds firm. Ethanol chatter could shake things up.Pork cools off — bellies dip, loins still a solid value, and butts barely budge. Summer could bring the heat back.Dairy bounce back — after two weeks down, prices climb again. Not a rally yet, but some upside remains.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Key Points: • Origins: Inspired by the traditional diets of countries like Greece, Italy, and Spain. • Core principles: • Emphasis on fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. • Healthy fats like olive oil and nuts. • Lean proteins—particularly fish and poultry. • Herbs and spices for flavor instead of salt. • Moderation with red wine and dairy (optional, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider).    Fun fact: The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally due to its heart-protective benefits. The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating based on the traditional dietary habits of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, including Greece, Italy, and Spain. It's renowned for promoting long-term health, especially for heart health, and is often hailed as one of the healthiest diets in the world.   The Mediterranean diet draws inspiration from the eating patterns of Mediterranean countries, where the focus has always been on fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients. It's a way of life that emphasizes balance, community, and enjoying meals together. This diet has been studied extensively and is linked to a variety of health benefits, particularly in reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.   Fruits and Vegetables One of the hallmarks of the Mediterranean diet is an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables. These are typically eaten in every meal, providing a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, and peppers, and fruits like oranges, grapes, and apples, are common. Whole Grains and Legumes Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and quinoa are staples. Legumes like lentils, chickpeas, and beans are also featured prominently. These foods are high in fiber, which promotes digestive health and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Healthy Fats Olive oil is the primary source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. It's rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy. Nuts, seeds, and avocados also provide healthy fats, which are important for brain function and overall health. Lean Proteins Lean proteins, especially fish and poultry, are preferred over red meats. Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart health. Poultry is typically consumed in moderate amounts, and red meat is eaten sparingly. Herbs and Spices The Mediterranean diet emphasizes using herbs and spices to add flavor to dishes instead of relying on salt. Common herbs and spices include garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and cinnamon, which also offer additional health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Moderation with Dairy and Wine Dairy is consumed in moderation, with an emphasis on low-fat or fat-free options like Greek yogurt and cheese (often feta or Parmesan). Wine is also consumed in moderation, usually red wine, and often with meals. It's important to note that wine should only be consumed if it's appropriate for your health and lifestyle, and always in consultation with a healthcare provider. The Mediterranean diet is consistently ranked as one of the healthiest diets globally, largely because of its heart-protective benefits. Studies have shown that people who follow the Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It's also linked to a longer life expectancy and a lower risk of cognitive decline. In summary, the Mediterranean Diet is not just a way of eating but a lifestyle that focuses on whole, natural foods, healthy fats, lean proteins, and a moderate, balanced approach to eating. Whether you're looking to improve heart health, manage weight, or just eat more mindfully, the Mediterranean diet provides a delicious and sustainable way to nourish your body.    Scientific Benefits: • Blood sugar control: • The fiber from vegetables, whole grains, and legumes slows the absorption of glucose, preventing spikes. • Heart health benefits: • Rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, reducing inflammation and supporting cardiovascular health—a key concern for diabetics. • Weight management: • The diet is naturally lower in processed foods and sugar, promoting weight control, which can improve insulin sensitivity.     Breakfast: • Greek yogurt parfait with chia seeds, berries, and a sprinkle of nuts. • Vegetable omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese.    Lunch: • Mediterranean salad bowl: Romaine, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, grilled chicken, and a lemon-olive oil vinaigrette. • Hummus and veggie wrap: Whole wheat wrap with hummus, shredded carrots, cucumbers, and leafy greens.    Dinner: • Baked salmon with roasted zucchini and quinoa (season with lemon, garlic, and herbs). • Stuffed peppers with ground turkey, tomatoes, and brown rice.    Snack: • Mixed nuts with a few olives. • Cucumber slices with tzatziki.  Segment 5: Practical Tips for Getting Started (5-7 mins)    Shopping Tips: • Stick to the perimeter of the grocery store for fresh produce, lean meats, and whole grains. • Read labels: Choose olive oil-based dressings over creamy or sugary ones.    Meal Prep Strategies: • Batch cook grains and proteins for easy meal assembly during the week. • Make your own Mediterranean spice blend with oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika.

EPISODE 78 DETAILS U.S.-China Tariff War Cripples Agricultural Exports as Industry Faces Major Setbacks Triple-Digit Tariffs Disrupt U.S. Beef, Poultry, and Pork Exports to China and Hong Kong Triple-digit tariff rates on goods traded between the United States and China have “effectively closed that market for U.S. exports,” according to a source quoted by Politico from the agriculture industry. Despite the sharp decline in imports, China still purchased $25 billion worth of U.S. food and agricultural products last year. “Making up for that around the world is going to be very challenging,” the source emphasized. The Trump administration recently imposed new tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, compounding already substantial levies. In response, China retaliated with tariffs reaching 125% on U.S. exports. Since early March, U.S. beef exports to China have come to a near standstill following Beijing's declaration that U.S. export licenses were no longer valid. Even before the full retaliation in early April, U.S. chicken exports to China dropped by 48% in February compared to the same month last year. In 2024, China and Hong Kong together accounted for $525 million in U.S. poultry meat and products (excluding eggs), ranking as the third-largest export market behind Mexico and Canada. Beef exports reached nearly $2 billion, just behind South Korea, while pork exports to the region surpassed $1.1 billion, trailing only Mexico and Japan.
