In this episode of the Stockman Grassfarmer Podcast, we travel to Kauai, Hawaii, to meet Sharleen Andrade Balmores, a sixth-generation rancher carrying forward her family's 138-year cattle ranching legacy. Although she once imagined her brothers or cousins would take over, Sharleen found her true calling in ranching — building The Rancher's Daughter's Reserve, creating Minnie's Mercantile, and running the island's oldest USDA-inspected slaughterhouse. Sharleen opens up about: Why she chose to return to her roots and raise gourmet, grassfed beef in Hawaii The unique challenges of ranching on Kauai, from high land values to invasive grasses How rotational grazing and smart pasture management keep her herd thriving The importance of learning from multigenerational ranchers and trusting your instincts Why community support and giving back fuel her passion for the work Her journey is a powerful reminder that ranching is about more than cattle — it's about family, heritage, and feeding a community with integrity.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the return of the deadly screwworm parasite to U.S. soil, a sweeping Deep State update from the DIA to Epstein, and global headlines from Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela. From maggots threatening America's cattle herd to Marines steaming toward Caracas, today's brief connects domestic crises with international conflicts that could reshape U.S. policy. Screwworm Parasite Returns to America: Health officials confirm the first human case of screwworm infestation in decades, discovered in Maryland after a traveler returned from Latin America. Ranchers warn of catastrophic risks to U.S. beef herds, recalling outbreaks from the 1930s. Critics blame Biden's open border surge through Panama for allowing the parasite north. As Bryan puts it, “This screwworm crisis was preventable but Democrats and Joe Biden allowed it to happen.” Deep State Update — DIA, Bolton, and Epstein: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse after his team relied on Iranian disinformation to downplay Trump's strike on Tehran's nuclear program. Senator Mark Warner blasted the move, warning of “a dangerous habit of treating intelligence as a loyalty test.” The FBI raids John Bolton's home and office in a classified documents probe, raising questions about why Biden-era DOJ buried the case. And newly released Ghislaine Maxwell testimony insists, “The President was always a gentleman in all respects,” while controversially minimizing Bill Clinton's Epstein ties as “one journey.” Gaza Hospital Strike Kills Civilians and Journalists: Israeli missiles hit Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least 20 including reporters for Reuters and the AP. Prime Minister Netanyahu's office calls it a “tragic mistake” as an investigation begins. Israeli media demand answers, asking, “How did this happen?” Ukraine Unveils 1,800-Mile Missile: President Zelenskyy announces Ukraine has built a long-range missile dubbed “The Flamingo” capable of striking deep into Russia. “We can and will strike deeper into Russian territory without the permission of Washington,” he declared, though Trump's Pentagon has quietly ordered U.S. weapons held back from long-range use. U.S. Marines Deploy Toward Venezuela: The 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit sails south with destroyers, submarines, and aircraft in what may be preparation to topple Nicolás Maduro's regime. Trinidad and Tobago's prime minister backs Trump, declaring, “No amount of Trump Derangement Syndrome tantrums will prevent my government from welcoming assistance to combat the terrorist drug cartels of Venezuela.” Bryan suggests the timing may connect to Trump's deportation strategy under the Alien Enemies Act.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: screwworm parasite Maryland case, Biden border crisis cattle, U.S. beef industry threat screwworm, Pete Hegseth fires DIA chief, Jeffrey Kruse Iran strike intel, Mark Warner loyalty test quote, John Bolton FBI raid classified docs, Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein testimony Trump Clinton, Gaza hospital missile strike journalists killed, Zelenskyy Flamingo missile 1800 miles, Trump Pentagon Ukraine ATACMS, U.S. Marines Venezuela deployment, Trinidad Tobago supports Trump, Nicolás Maduro drug cartel regime, Alien Enemies Act deportations

This week I'm joined by Grace Inglee, my Rancher Success Rep from Vence, the virtual fencing company we've been using on our own operation since late 2024. After getting so many questions from listeners and followers about how it works, how hard it is to set up, and whether or not it actually keeps cows in, I wanted to bring Grace on to walk through all of it. We break down what virtual fencing is, how it compares to traditional fencing, and the different use cases Vence is seeing across the country—from fire recovery (like ours) to predator monitoring, rotational grazing, and more. Grace also shares how the collars, towers, and herd manager software work together, how long it takes to train cows (spoiler: it's surprisingly fast), and how even low-tech producers can get up and running with confidence. Whether you're hearing about virtual fencing for the first time or you're seriously considering it for your own operation, this episode will answer the questions you didn't even know to ask. I also share our firsthand experience, what we've learned over the last several months, and why we've been genuinely impressed by how effective the system is.

2025's ag laws, no spin. American Farm Burueau Federation Economist, Daniel Munch, breaks down what the American Relief Act and HR1 (“One Big Beautiful Bill”) actually changed for farmers, ranchers, and timberland owners: disaster aid, tax relief, ARC/PLC extensions, conservation through 2031, disease‑readiness funding—and what Washington still hasn't fixed. Why these passed: must‑pass funding + reconciliation math, not kumbaya. Core programs extended to 2031: ARC/PLC, Dairy Margin Coverage; EQIP/CSP/ACEP funded forward. CRP: not extended in HR1; needs separate action (a “skinny” farm bill or stand‑alone). Disaster money: ~$30B total in the Relief Act (≈$10B economic aid to row‑crops; ≈$20B disasters). Helpful, not enough to backfill multi‑year crop, livestock, timber, and infrastructure losses. Drought trigger fixed: LFP now four consecutive weeks of qualifying drought (down from eight). Rancher win: LIP now 100% compensation for federally protected predator kills (wolves/grizzlies). State block grants: Flexibility for hard‑hit states (e.g., hurricane zones) that can include timber. Taxes you can actually use: Estate tax exemption permanent at $15M / $30M couple; 199A stays; bonus depreciation back; Section 179 expensing up to $2.5M for equipment and capital improvements (barns, fencing, irrigation). Clean fuel credits (45Z): benefits risk getting stuck at processors unless contracts force value back to growers. Disease readiness: $233M/year mandated for stockpiles, diagnostics, training—real money to keep herds healthy. Market context: Land values up but margins down; these programs support lender confidence but don't erase price pressure. Foreign land ownership: Data/reporting gaps are real; enforcement and look‑through need teeth; private‑property rights vs. national‑security concerns. Why SNAP stays in the farm bill: urban votes keep farm programs alive. No SNAP = no votes = no farm bill.

“The first time I entered here I was 18 years old…I'd always heard about the Pendleton Roundup, it's just iconic. I was driving in thinking, I've made it, you know, I've made it” “You can name any sport, basketball, football, whatever. [Rodeo] just isn't that way. These events started and evolved from ranching. They've molded it into a sport, and that's just outta cowboy try. I have a ranch, Pat has a ranch, and for the people that watch ‘Yellowstone', that's a lot like his place.” Welcome back to Pendleton, Oregon, home of the world-famous Roundup that we covered in a previous episode. While saddle broncs bucked and thousands cheered outside, we snuck into a storage room for kegs and liquor to interview two absolute legends in rodeo. Butch Knowles of the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, 1988 Olympics USA Gold Medal Team, who spent decades broadcasting with the NFR. And Pat Nogle, a bulldogging champion with a collection of medals and records that stand to this day. The conversation was full of bawdy tales and laughter, but also deep introspection on what western culture means to actual ranchers like them, and also to the 50,000 fans that come to Pendleton every September.  LET ‘ER BUCK!

At the Rangeland Trust, we are honored to work alongside people whose livelihoods are deeply tied to the health of the land. Ranchers know that caring for the land is more than a responsibility—it's a way of life built on stewardship, grit, and adaptability. Yet, the challenges they face are many: from water shortages and unpredictable weather to shifting regulations and rising costs, today's ranchers are navigating pressures from every direction.In this episode, CEO and host, Michael Delbar, revisits with the Elgorriaga family—whose story you may recognize from our documentary You Just Can't See Them From the Road. For generations, they have ranched in California's Central Valley, meeting each new challenge with persistence, passion, and creativity. Michael sits down with four members of the third generation of the Elgorriaga family—Stephen, Peter, Paul, and Christina—to reflect on their upbringing, the values that have sustained them, and their vision for the future of the ranch as the next generation grows on the land.More than just a family history, this conversation offers an intimate look at the everyday realities of ranching in modern California—and a powerful reminder of what's at stake when we talk about protecting working lands and the people who steward them.Want to learn more?

A myth-busting interview: Cloud seeding with Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller. Would you feel comfortable renting someone's personal vehicle? I share my Turo experience, and how livestock producers are rocking music to fight off wolves Season 5, Episode 250 Interview With Meteorologist Kenny Miller: The Truth About Cloud Seeding & Cloud Modifications We've heard people blame cloud seeding for everything from droughts to flooding via social media. Now it was time to break down Cloud Seeding: What Is It, and What Does It Do? First, What Is Cloud Seeding, Really? Meet KX News Chief Meteorologist Kenny Miller, who explained cloud seeding as a weather modification method that encourages rainfall or can reduce hail size by introducing silver iodide into storm clouds. The thought process is to help increase moisture to avoid drought by squeezing just a little bit more rain from smaller rain cloud systems. North Dakota Cloud Modification Project Cloud Seeding or Could Modification began in North Dakota in 1962, and is considered the longest running project in the United States. According to Miller, injecting the clouds in a drought scenario has the possibility of taking a 1" rainfall total to 1.10" or in a hail threat situation a 2" hail stone could be reduced to a 1" size for example. Reference: https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/cloud-seeding-what-is-it-and-what-does-it-do/ Debunking the Common Myths Myth: It steals rain from other areas. → Nope. Clouds either rain or they don't—seeding just improves efficiency. Myth: It causes droughts. → False. There's no evidence linking seeding to large-scale climate effects. Myth: It's some secret government program. → Also false. It's publicly funded and reported in local communities. Why Turo Made Me Ditch the Traditional Rental Car Hassle Let's be honest—traditional rental car agencies feel like mini DMVs. You land after a long flight, stand in line for 45 minutes, only to find out they “ran out of mid-size cars.” Sound familiar? Transparent Pricing, No Games No counter. No clipboard. No upcharges for floor mats. Turo.com Unlike big agencies, there were no surprise fuel policies, upgrade pitches, or fees for returning early. I chose the exact car I wanted, paid upfront, and had the option for full insurance through the app. Stress-free and cheaper. **REMEMBER: ALWAYS check with your own Auto Insurance Policy Agent as to what your coverage is when it comes to renting ANY vehicles. In my most recent Turo.com rental experience, the All-Star Host delivered said vehicle On-Time and made Drop-Off super easy!! The vehicle owner even gave our party a free ride to the airport that saves us another $20+ Uber ride! My Review on Turo.com: Rebecca W. • August 7, 2025 Awesome!! Clean, on-time. Dropped off the car off with easy meet up directions at the casino we were staying. AND then met us at the end of our rental, offering to drive us to the airport!!! Will absolutely rent from again! AC/DC Blasts Away Wolf Attacks on U.S. Cattle Ranches & Farms In an unexpected twist, American cattle ranchers and farmers are using music from rock legends AC/DC to protect their herds from gray wolf attacks. Since the reintroduction of gray wolves in 1995, their populations have thrived, but their return has also led to a rise in cattle deaths across several states. To combat this, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been using drones equipped with speakers to play AC/DC hits like “Thunderstruck” and “Blue on Black,” alongside movie clips to drive wolves away from livestock. The drones are fitted with heat-seeking cameras to track wolves at night, and the loud sounds effectively disperse the predators. The technique has proven successful, reducing attacks in areas like southwestern Oregon, where wolf attacks dropped from nearly one every other night to less than one a month. Despite these efforts, however, wolf attacks on livestock continue, with dozens of cattle killed in states like California, Washington, and Colorado like we just mentioned. In California, 27 calves were killed in just two months earlier this year, costing ranchers millions of dollars in lost livestock and state reimbursements. Livestock producers are increasingly concerned that their livelihoods are under threat, especially as federal protections for wolves remain in place, limiting the ability to control their numbers. As a result, some lawmakers are pushing to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list, giving states more authority to manage wolf populations and protect agriculture. With the stakes higher than ever, farmers and ranchers are calling for real solutions that protect their herds and their way of life. After all, protecting livestock is not just about economics—it's about ensuring the survival of a centuries-old way of life that feeds and sustains communities across the nation. Reference: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/hells-bells-america-cattle-farms-183321858.html Colorado Plans to Kill Additional Wolf After Cattle Deaths We've been following stories of how landowners and livestock producers are being impacted by the ever increasing wolf pack relocations and reintroductions  in some areas of the country.  According to CPR News, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is set to kill at least one more wolf from the Copper Creek Pack in Pitkin County after a calf was killed by the pack near Aspen in July. This follows a string of attacks on livestock, including eight confirmed kills in the area since the pack's relocation last winter. Wildlife officials confirmed the calf's death as a wolf kill on July 18, noting evidence that wolves had injured the animal before it died. Despite several attempts to locate the wolves, CPW staff have faced challenges due to difficult terrain. The decision to kill another wolf is part of ongoing efforts to manage the Copper Creek Pack, which was reintroduced into Colorado in late 2023. This pack has been problematic, causing continued damage to local ranchers despite the agency's attempts to manage them, including removing a young male wolf in May. Ranchers like Tom Harrington say the only solution may be relocating or lethally removing the entire pack.

As the hunting and conservation editor for Outdoor Life, and a Montana Rancher for over two decades, Andrew McKean knows a thing or two about the problems facing Ranchers, farmers and hunters in America.  In this episode, Filmmaker Tom Opre and Andrew take a deep dive into those topics, as well as water, American Prairie, and the importance of the small community to the American West.

In this episode of the Heart of Rural America podcast, Amanda Radke and Chris Earl discuss the current state of the Angus cattle industry, the importance of independent ranching, and the implications of corporate influence on agriculture. They emphasize the need for ranchers to tell their stories, market their products effectively, and maintain control over their genetic resources. The conversation also highlights the upcoming Genetic Allies Sale and the importance of community and collaboration among cattle producers.TakeawaysThe Angus Genetics Inc. partnership with the Basils Earth Fund raises concerns about corporate influence in agriculture.Cattlemen are designers of their products, and their decisions are often based on intuition and experience rather than quantifiable data.Effective marketing and storytelling are crucial for ranchers to differentiate their products in a competitive market.The ranching community must unite to protect their interests and advocate for independent thought and entrepreneurship.Ownership and control of genetic resources are vital for the future of independent ranching.The fight for food sovereignty is intertwined with the rights of independent cattle producers.Ranchers need to engage in the conversation and be active participants in shaping the future of their industry.The importance of humility, hard work, and empathy in successful ranching operations cannot be overstated.Ranchers must be vigilant and proactive in defending their way of life against external pressures and agendas.Community and collaboration among ranchers can lead to a stronger, more resilient agricultural sector.Presented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | Dirt Road Radio | All American Angus Beef | Radke Land & CattleUse code RADKE for $10 off your next All American Angus Beef order at www.BidOnBeef.comSave on Redmond Real Salt with code RADKE at https://shop.redmondagriculture.com/Check out Amanda's agricultural children's books here: https://amandaradke.com/collections/amandas-books

On this week's Tipping Point NM interview Paul interviewed rancher and president of NM Cattle Growers, Bronson Corn. They primarily discussed a proposed power line through Eastern New Mexico that could wind up involving use of eminent domain and taking land up to 15 miles wide. Why does this project require so much land? Where is this electricity going?  Also, Paul and Bronson discuss New Mexico's proposed "heat rule." The rule which is still being considered would have massive negative impacts on ranchers and would be completely unrealistic for many rural employers. Check out this conversation now!  

Summary: This episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked features Molly Engelhart, a former Los Angeles vegan chef turned Texas cattle rancher and author of “Debunked by Nature: How a Vegan-Chef-Turned-Regenerative-Farmer Discovered that Mother Nature Is a Conservative.” Molly shares her journey from operating five vegan restaurants to running a regenerative cattle ranch and on-farm restaurant. Her shift came after realizing that all food production, vegan or otherwise, involves death, and that avoiding animal products doesn't necessarily equate to environmental or moral purity. She describes the hidden realities of agriculture, the economic challenges farmers face, and the systemic issues in U.S. food production. Molly emphasizes the need for fair pricing for farmers, consumer education, and direct engagement with nature. She also discusses her upcoming Food is Medicine conference, aimed at connecting chefs, farmers, and consumers with regenerative agriculture and holistic health practices.Key Takeaways: Identity Shift: Molly moved from being a lifelong vegan and chef to a regenerative cattle rancher after realizing vegan agriculture still depends on animal byproducts and causes animal deaths. Food Waste Catalyst: Concerns over massive restaurant food waste led her to start a farm, sparking revelations about the true nature of food production. “Death on Every Plate” Reality: Whether eating broccoli or steak, agriculture involves death, via fertilizers, pest control, or mechanical harvesting. Economic Pressures on Farmers: Land, feed, taxes, and equipment costs make it nearly impossible for new ranchers to survive financially without inherited land or side income. Food Prices & Farmer Survival: Many commodity crop prices haven't risen since the 1970s, while input costs have skyrocketed, contributing to the loss of 140,000 farms in the past decade. Health & Nutrition Concerns: She links modern diseases to refined flour, sugar, and agrochemicals, advocating for nutrient-dense, whole foods despite their higher cost. Chefs as Cultural Influencers: Restaurants can shift consumer perceptions by showcasing local, regenerative foods and promoting direct farmer relationships. Food Sovereignty as National Security: The U.S. has become a net importer of food, narrowing crop diversity and risking resilience. Systemic Change Needed: Calls for reduced bureaucracy, innovative housing for farm workers, and banking products to help small farmers acquire land. Upcoming Event: Molly is hosting the Food is Medicine conference (Sept 26–28) featuring workshops, advocacy training, and speakers like Will Harris, focusing on regenerative food and health transformation.

Andrew Coppin is the co-founder and CEO of RanchBot, a company aiming to reduce the cost and stress of managing stockwatering supplies in the large percentage of the world's surface where water really matters to grazing operations of all sizes. But as a former investment banker in corporate finance, Andrew has broader socioecological goals: "Ranchers are the largest custodians of natural capital on the planet outside of governments, and 98% of ranchers I know are trying to respect the land and work in sympathy with nature, and they're trying to leave the planet better than they found it for their children and their children's children. This is embedded in most ranchers' raison d'etre--RanchBot can help ranchers verify natural capital, to gather data that demonstrates stewardship."

It's a story that sounds like sci-fi, and it's about to be literally hovering over our border. The USDA is building mass‐breeding facilities—dubbed ‘fly factories’—to raise and release sterile male New World screwworm flies along Texas and into southern Mexico. The aim? To combat a parasitic fly whose flesh-eating larvae can decimate cattle, pets, wildlife—even infect humans. Sterile insects mate with wild females, producing infertile eggs—an old tactic from the 1950s that succeeded in eradicating the pest decades ago. I don't like it! We ask important questions surrounding this government operation to Dr. Peter McCullough, the doctor best known of exposing deception surrounding government activities especially related to COVID. Why is the USDA sinking $29 million into two new fly operations—one in Hidalgo County, Texas (Moore Air Base) and another in southern Mexico by mid‑2026? Who benefits—and who’s uneasy? Ranchers applaud safeguarding livestock, but local residents and privacy watchdogs ask: can we trust government drones or crop-dusters dropping millions of lab-reared flies into night skies? When the government releases billions of sterile flies at dusk, are we getting cutting-edge pest management… or something more ominous lurking behind the science mask? The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits including a parasite cleanse that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency.
