Podcasts about public lands council

The Ag Net News Hour hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” open today's show talking about key agricultural issues. A major focus was Governor Gavin Newsom's push to accelerate the Delta Conveyance Project, which aims to improve California's water management. The proposal aims to tackle climate change, water storage, and ensure future water supply for farming, according to Newsom. The discussion stresses the Governor's urgency of streamlining permitting, securing funding, and preventing litigation delays. Some questioned Newsom's political motives and prior inaction, while others emphasized the potential consequences—California could lose up to 10% of its water supply if efforts stall. The hosts referenced a topic that they discussed during last Friday's show regarding a recent UC study that was released on how inaction on water issues will lead to significant water challenges within the state of California. Another contentious topic for Nick and Lorrie involved Marin County, where environmentalists and ranchers clashed over federal land grazing management. With 12 of 14 ranches facing possible shutdown within 15 months, tensions mounted. The Center for Biological Diversity sued the National Park Service, arguing grazing leases harm the environment. Meanwhile, the Public Lands Council defended ranchers, advocating for multi-use land management. The discussion also touched on California's mis-allocation of funds intended for homelessness and high-speed rail. Labor trafficking in agriculture was the main discussion point in the final segment, spotlighting its warning signs: unpaid wages, isolation, inadequate housing, and restricted access to personal documents. An interview stressed the need for employers to safeguard worker rights and ensure legal employment, even when hiring through third-party recruiters. The discussion underscored the critical role of migrant workers in agriculture and the need for improved working conditions. The segment concluded with a call to action urging agricultural employers to prioritize worker welfare. Listener feedback and ideas are always welcome. Email Nick@agnetmedia.com.

On this episode, Executive Director of the Public Lands Council and NCBA Natural Resources Kaitlynn Glover joins to share an update on new legislation introduced by U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) to help resolve land boundary disputes between private landowners and the federal government. Especially in the West, old federal survey techniques have resulted in some variation between the legal boundaries based on modern technology and historic boundary markers between private land and federal lands. These administrative discrepancies should be easy to resolve, but some have resulted in a burdensome legal process for private landowners. Senator Rounds' bill would create a mediation process to resolve these kinds of boundary disputes and support private landowners.

Lorrie Boyer talks with Garrett Edmonds, Director of Government Affairs with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and the Public Lands Council, discussing legislative priorities and congressional hearings on grazing and ranching measures. They delve into specific bills aimed at reducing wildfire risks and increasing operational flexibility for ranchers. She also talks to Tony Headrick from CHS Hedging, who explores how geopolitical events influence agriculture, particularly energy and fertilizer sectors, and their implications for U.S. farmers. The discussion covers supply, demand, and market dynamics, emphasizing the importance of managing margins between commodity inputs and outputs. Sabrina has this week's Almond Update from the Almond Board of California. In the update, Clarice Turner, President and CEO of the Almond Board of California, discusses the current state of the almond industry following her presentation at the Almond Conference. Key topics include the rise in demand for almonds in various markets, record-breaking shipment volumes, and sustainability efforts in carbon sequestration, water usage, and bee-friendly practices.
