Podcasts about ranches

"Archbold's mission is to build and share the scientific knowledge needed to protect the life, lands, and waters of the heart of Florida, and beyond." This quote from the Archbold Biological Station website describes well the impressive efforts of this large private research institute to integrate wildlife and ecosystem conservation efforts with ranch management. Ranches have also become increasingly important for water conservation. Listen to this interview to learn about innovative aquifer recharge and water quality programs paying ranchers for ecosystem services and coordinated by Archbold. Dr. Betsey Boughton has run Archbold's agroecology program for many years, and she is now the Director of Science for the station.

Labor continues to be one of the biggest pressure points in agriculture. But when you are not hiring a full-time, long-term employee, the real question becomes: What kind of help do you actually need?In this episode of the Ranch Workforce Project, host Haylie Shipp and co-host Rachel Frost sit down with Taylre Sitz Zempel of Sitz Angus Ranch and Dan Leahy of the Foundation for Ranch Management to break down the practical differences between seasonal labor, internships, and apprenticeships.This conversation goes beyond definitions. It dives into expectations, responsibility, logistics, mindset, and the long-term impact these roles can have on the ranch workforce pipeline.What We CoverSeasonal Labor A largely transactional relationship. A defined timeframe, clear expectations, and productivity that directly impacts profitability. Often requires minimal training and the ability to step in and contribute quickly.Internships A shorter-term learning opportunity. Ranches may invest more time in training and mentorship while students gain exposure, experience, and foundational skills. Internships can play a significant role in shaping the next generation entering agriculture.Apprenticeships A longer-term, structured commitment with higher expectations on both sides. Focused not only on completing tasks but on developing thought processes, decision-making ability, and mastery. Apprenticeships often serve as a bridge into long-term careers and leadership roles.Key Themes from the ConversationWords matter. Titles like intern and apprentice carry real expectations.Ranchers must be honest about how much time and training they can realistically provide.Soft skills such as communication, humility, reflection, and attitude are just as important as technical skills.Logistics matter. Housing, transportation, and basic living arrangements can make or break a placement.The workforce pipeline in agriculture is not empty. There are young people eager to enter the industry, but clarity and alignment are critical.Internships and apprenticeships do more than fill labor gaps. They help build the future of agriculture beyond a single ranch gate.You will also hear powerful stories of growth, failure, perseverance, and the long-term impact of mentorship.Learn MoreDan Scott Ranch Management Programhttps://animalrange.montana.edu/danscott/Sitz Angus Ranch https://www.sitzangus.com/If you are considering bringing on seasonal labor, an intern, or an apprentice, this episode offers practical guidance and encouragement to help you decide which structure best fits your operation and your long-term goals.Support the showThe Ranchers Stewardship Alliance (RSA) is a rancher-led, grassroots organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life for rural communities throughout the Northern Great Plains.

This week discover gift ideas for everyone on your list, and try this quick, easy dinner hack to simplify surviving winter meals that are comfort food for the whole family! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Christmas Gift Ideas What to buy?? The stress, the expense... it all adds up, hence we are here to HELP YOU OUT!! Food: Who doesn't love food and with how expensive everything is, we can all appreciate a good meal. We believe in giving our loved ones gift certificates to local Butcher Shops in their area or to local Ranches and Farms selling their own meats. Do a quick search, and you'll be surprised how many local Pasture to Plate, Farm to Table and so on small businesses there are! Tack Tote: Have a Cowboy, Cowgirl or Equestrian on the list. You cannot go wrong creating a small "Tack Tote" that has all the essentials so that it's ready to either stay in the stock trailer or be loaded when the horses do. The one created by Tigger for me has been a life saver! Inside mine there is wound spray, fly spray, curry comb, brush, hoof pick, leather hole punch, leather strips for repair and don't forget the Chicago screws!! (Also highly recommend having a spare rein and stirrup in the box too... take it from me... Been There... Needed that!) Leather Hole Punch: This is a tool that is worth spending the extra money to buy a Good One! Let's be honest, typically when needing to fix tack you are out... chasing cattle, in a hurry at a rodeo, etc... No time to be messing with a low grade leather punch that moves on one all the time or you have to have the strength of Goliath just to put an extra notch in your latigo! Easy Dinner Hack This hack is so easy, you'll wonder - "Why Haven't I Been Doing This?" Almost every time you're in the grocery nearing the checkout, you've been there... you have to walk by the delish smelling fresh rotisserie chickens. YUM! Well now think about this... There are sales regularly on these too and now you're going to stock up! Hack: Buy Rotisserie Chickens to FREEZE for later! You read that right! I buy a few these at a time, especially if there's a sale. Nothing is done with them other than put in the freezer. When I am needing meals that can sit all day to be enjoyed as my family comes and goes... I thawed out one of those chickens. I especially like the ones in a plastic container as when thawing they make No Mess!! What To Do With The Rotisserie Chicken? Since it is already cooked, your cooking time is short... like cut down big time!! Pull off that meat... then proceed to dice it or shred depending on the use. Wild Rice Soup: Add that diced chicken to say a packet of Bear Creek Wild Rice Soup... Comfort Food that is SOOOOO GOOD! Chicken Enchiladas: Add enchilada sauce (green or red), add the diced or shredded chicken and bring to a simmer. Heat the oven to 400. Using a cooking sprayed glass dish, spoon a thin layer of the sauce in the bottom. Fill flour tortillas with the meat mixture, add your favorite cheese blend and then roll up. Place the tortillas tightly against one another until the pan is full, pour any remaining meat sauce on the top and then garnish with a heavy layer of shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Bake uncovered until the cheese begins to brown. ENJOY!! OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Host Amanda Radke sits down with Tate Bennett, Director of Rural Policy at the America First Policy Institute, to unpack a newly announced USDA plan presented by Secretary Brooke Rollins that aims to fortify the U.S. beef supply, rebuild capacity, lower consumer costs, and keep family ranchers on the land. They discuss why cattle producers reacted to recent pricing comments, what the plan actually proposes, and how ranchers can keep shaping policy from the ground up. Amanda also shares an encouraging win for property rights: New Jersey's 175-year-old Henry family farm is no longer under threat of eminent domain after collaborative federal and state action.What you'll learnWhy beef markets have producers optimistic yet cautious given input costs and a 75-year low national herdThe core pillars of the USDA/Secretary Rollins plan:Open more federal grazing access through BLM/USFS coordinationLocal processing relief with fewer regulatory bottlenecksProduct-of-USA transparency so shoppers know originDietary Guidelines collaboration to keep beef and protein centeredESA (Endangered Species Act) reviews around predator impacts on livestockOpportunities for beginners and veteran-owned ranches via grants and programsPractical advice for ranchers to be heard in D.C. using platforms, coalitions, and consistent storytellingHow the Henry family's eminent domain victory could shape broader efforts to curb “lawfare” against agriculturePresented by Bid on Beef | CK6 Consulting | CK6 Source | Real Tuff Livestock Equipment | Redmond RealSalt | Dirt Road Radio | All American Angus Beef | Radke Land & Cattle | AmbrookUse 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

Ranches, rodeos and public land. This is the story of a surprising battle raging in the American West, and the unlikely coalition it's forged. Nearly half of all land in the West of the United States is owned by the federal government. Some people are trying to change that; they argue that part of it should be used for housing, amid a nationwide shortage. But this debate about land and development has touched a nerve in the Western psyche - tapping into bigger fears that the old way of life is under threat. It's about identity, trust, and the growing popularity of cowboy culture, driven in part by the TV series Yellowstone. In an increasingly polarised United States, this debate about public land is uniting cowboys, environmental activists, conservatives, and progressives. Ellie House reports from Montana, a state where the prospect of a public land sell-off is deeply unpopular, and where people feel like their cultures and traditions are at stake.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

The October 1 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured a wide-ranging conversation with Kevin Kester, a fifth-generation rancher from Parkfield, California, and former president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill highlighted Kester's experience in both California ranching and national policy, bringing listeners a candid look at the future of cattle in the Golden State. Kester described the uphill battle of running cattle in California, where land values, estate taxes, and regulatory costs far exceed most other states. “People wonder how we can even stay in business,” he said, pointing to California's high costs and thousands of state-specific rules. Despite these challenges, the state still maintains 35 to 39 million acres of grazing land, underscoring the importance of cattle to California's ag economy. The conversation turned to the alarming wolf problem in the Sierra Nevada, where ranchers reported 77 documented wolf kills in just 90 days. Kester warned that California's stricter protections compared to federal listings make the situation even harder to manage. “It's going to take the loss of human life before anything will be done,” he said grimly. Kester also spoke about his time at the White House, standing with President Trump and working on trade agreements, including opening markets for U.S. beef in China and Australia. He credited federal policies with helping offset some of California's burdens but said the fight is far from over. He urged farmers to push for common-sense policies and to stay engaged in policy discussions that affect their livelihoods. Looking ahead, Kester stressed the importance of FFA and youth engagement in agriculture. As someone who served as an FFA officer himself, he sees the program as vital to ensuring a sixth generation continues his family's ranching legacy. “We do this to keep ranches intact and viable for the next generations,” he said, noting his six grandchildren are already helping on the ranch. From wolf predation to estate taxes and international trade, Kester's message was clear: California ranchers face enormous pressure, but with policy reforms and youth leadership, the industry can survive and thrive.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that McDonalds has announced a major investment in regenerative farming practices.

Cattle flourished on the excellent grazing lands of western Dakota Territory in the 19th century. Massive herds roamed freely across the plains. Ranches began springing up in the Badlands before North Dakota was even a state. The most famous was Teddy Roosevelt's Maltese Cross Ranch but there were many more. Some folded after just a few years, while others managed to hang on and become prosperous.

Ambrook: https://ambrook.com/Offrange: https://ambrook.com/offrange"Not Boring" Founder's Letter: https://www.notboring.co/p/america-the-beautifulMackenzie Burnett: On Agriculture and American Progress on Rhishi Pethe's "Software is Feeding the World" Today's episode features a pretty intriguing startup, Ambrook. I say intriguing not just because they recently announced a $26.1M series A round in this tough environment to raise capital. But they are focused on what I would consider a not very flashy part of the industry, accounting software. Not a new concept. On the surface, it doesn't sound like one of those moonshot problems startups like to spin a narrative around like mitigating climate change or feeding the billions. But those of us who have spent time on farms or ranches know there are still plenty of opportunities for improvement in this area. And in just over 18 months of commercialization Ambrook already claims to have over 2,500 operations using their software. Another interesting part of their business is as they were building their financial management tool, they also launched their own media venture called Ambrook Research. They have since rebranded it to Off Range, but it boasts more than 150,000 newsletter subscribers to read stories about agriculture and food. But will all this lead to better outcomes for producers, a successful business for Ambrook and a more resilient agriculture in the future? That's what I wanted to know from Ambrook co-founder and CEO Mackenzie Burnett. Before starting this financial management software company, Mackenzie's prior experience was working in community nonprofits, water asset management, and open source software infrastructure. She holds an M.A. in international policy and climate security from Stanford University.

Jeff Williams has been starting colts for big ranches for four decades. Some of those outfits have included the Beggs, Haythorn, King, Muleshoe and Spades. Williams started out as a cowboy on various West Texas ranches, but it didn't take long for him to discover that starting colts was his passion. He has continued to day-work on cow-calf operations, and he has competed in roping and ranch horse events. However, starting colts under saddle is his focus, and many ranches trust him to put a solid foundation on their youngsters and train select prospects for elite ranch production sales. The Post, Texas, horseman has also influenced countless young men and women who have worked for him, and he has judged at numerous ranch horse shows, ranch rodeos, and colt starting competitions such as Road to the Horse.

Send us a textEver wondered what happens when legal expertise meets digital art collecting? Artie Handz, head of marketing at Verse and founder of Artie Gallery, takes us on a journey through his fascinating transition from courtroom to crypto art.The spark ignited during Christmas 2020 when an article about NBA Top Shot landed in Artie's inbox. Having previously written about asset digitization in his MBA program years earlier, he felt an immediate connection to the concept. "I was all in," Artie explains, describing his transition from childhood sports card collector to owning thousands of NFTs, including prestigious pieces like his CryptoPunk purchased just before the 2021 price surge.What makes Web3 special for Artie is the elimination of traditional barriers between artists and collectors. Unlike the walled-off gallery system, digital art enables direct connections with creators worldwide. "You get to see it being built, made, painted, created, coded," he shares. "You're like a proud parent sometimes when it releases." This democratization represents a fundamental shift in how art is experienced and valued.Looking toward the future, Artie predicts we'll eventually stop using qualifiers like "digital art" or "AI art" – everything will simply be "art" again. He anticipates innovation from unexpected sources, perhaps from "some 17-year-old kid" who will introduce something revolutionary that changes the entire landscape. However, challenges remain, including questions about mass adoption, market volatility, and the long-term accessibility of blockchain-based art.Beyond his digital pursuits, Artie revealed surprising personal dimensions – he's both a private pilot and a fifth-generation cattle rancher with a 37,000-acre family ranch in Wyoming. Now focused on his role at Verse and his personal gallery, he's preparing to launch "The Book of Hope," a basketball-themed collection that bridges his love of sports with meaningful artistic expression.Follow Artie's journey as he continues breaking new ground in the evolving world of digital art collecting and curation. Whether you're a seasoned collector or crypto-curious, his insights offer valuable perspective on navigating this rapidly changing creative frontier.https://x.com/punk7635Support the show

Pushing boxes and pulling folders from the massive Baldwin Corporation Records held for the Institute for Regional Studies at NDSU Archives, I come to the realization we have a lot to learn about life on the plains by rereading the considerable — I should say massive — documentation available in the reading room. Given that the papers of the Baldwin Farms in Dickey County alone comprise 32 feet of records, it's a heck of a job.

It's citrus season in the northern hemisphere, and fruit trees are bursting with oranges and lemons. But CrowdScience listener Jonathan wants to know what happened to the tangerines he ate as a child in the 1960s? He remembers a fruit that was juicy, sweet and full of pips, found each Christmas at the bottom of his stocking. Tangerines today, he thinks, just don't compare. Crowdscience tries to track down this elusive fruit. Presenter Anand Jagatia traces the tangerine's origins back to Ancient China, as botanist David Mabberley explains that the name ‘tangerine' comes from a fruit that made its way from Asia, to Africa and the Moroccan port of Tangier, before arriving in the US in the early 1800s. Professor Tracy Kahn from UC Riverside tells us about the hybridisation process that goes into breeding modern tangerines, but says that while the season for these fruits has been dramatically extended, there's a cost in terms of diversity and flavour. Who better to help us track down this missing mandarin than a fruit detective? Well, that's one of pomologist David Karp's other job titles, and he reveals exactly which cultivar we might be looking for: the Dancy. So where can we find one? Over on Friend's Ranches in Ojai, California, Emily Ayala shows us two trees planted by her late grandfather, and explains that nothing grown since really matches its unique flavour.So what will listener Jonathan think when we send him a box?
