Clay McCombe is the heat pump Program Manager for the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) who servs 59 jurisdictions in the Denver metro area. Recently DRCOG was awarded a $200 million grant from the EPA aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants. Clays focus on heat pumps is based on beneficial electrification and improving the air quality in the Denver Metro area, but he has found himself deep into workforce development and introducing statewide licensing for HVAC contractors in Colorado.

Michael is joined by Martina Cagossi, Justin Brooks, and Mark Olshaker to walk listeners through the facts of the case, explain the prevalence of false confessions in high-stress situations, and discuss how Amanda's “trial by media” ultimately overshadowed clear evidence that should have set her free. Martina Cagossi is a criminal lawyer based in Milan, Italy. She is the co-founder and Program Manager of the Italy Innocence Project. Justin Brooks is a Professor at University of San Diego School of Law. He is a board member of The Innocence Center and co-founder of the California Innocence Project.

Canada continues to suffer with wildfires and the lack of rain. Pam Jahnke visits with one of the hosts during their Canadian Rockies Farm Tour, Bob Wilson. Wilson started out as a beef producers but exited that industry when Mad Cow Disease closed many beef markets for Canadian producers. Now he's raising 50 bison on his Morning Star Bison Ranch on Vancouver Island, BC. He says that the water holding capacity of the soil he's using is a limiting factor on how many animals he can raise. As you would expect, everything he needs as a producer costs more just to get it to the island.Hot and sticky again today with rain building in the weekend forecast. That's Stu Muck's fair-time forecast.Now is the time when farms start gathering a lot of data. Monitoring fields, crops produced, inputs used - they pull it all together. More and more farms are looking for data points from their conservation practices as well.

She says these farms are run cooperatively focused on decreasing soil erosion and keeping water in the area clean. She says the funding they have came from the NRCS.

Matt Tranel, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville tells Pam Jahnke where the "choke" points are, and what industry processing partners are saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
