Podcasts about ranches

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?

Wynne Breeden grew up around the family business which was trucking. He also got to grow up around his grandpa that used the trucking business to fuel his love of ranching and cattle. Even though the business was already established when Wynne officially entered into it he had to learn from the bottom up so he could understand every aspect of the company. Wynne has learned a lot about being a leader and developing relationships with employees and clients.

Ranches have long been at the beating heart of Texas — first, as working plots; then, as legacy land. During the pandemic, the properties acquired a new sheen, attracting city-weary Texans and would-be cowboys willing to spend tens of millions of dollars for some peace and quiet and peace of mind. Four years later, demand has come roaring back. TRD's Joe Lovinger talks with one of the state's prolific ranch brokers to find out what's drawing all of that dollar volume to the desert.

Ed Ashurst has cowboyed on the most iconic ranches in Arizona. His experiences working cattle in the mountains, deserts and along the Mexican border have inspired more than a dozen books, both fiction and nonfiction. He is also a working cowboy who has ridden and gathered cattle and horses on over seven thousand square miles of the American West, accumulating over fifty years of experience as a big ranch cowboy. He currently manages a large cattle ranch in southeastern Arizona. He has also been involved in producing rodeos and horse shows, as well as horse sales, and has competed in the rodeo arena for over fifty years. His books are about his life's experiences covering different aspects and scenes that race across his vivid memory and water a fertile imagination. All that he has written originates from stories that are well worn from being told many times. He believes that storytelling is an art form that is no less important than painting or sculpting, and people say that his books read as if the storyteller is there in person. Here is a list of books he was written in the order in which he wrote them: "Miracle or Coincidence," "Real Cowboys," "Wagon Boss," "Mavericks," "Alligators in the Moat," "The Life and Times of Warner Glenn," "Stealin' From The Neighbors," "Charlie Gould," "Stories That Terrell Shelley Told Me," "Mel Potter and Friends," "Kidnapped," and coming soon, "Some of Them Dallied, Some Tied Hard and Fast.”  If interested in Ed's books go to Amazon

Hanni und Walter Sigel haben sich vor zweiundzwanzig Jahren ihren grossen Traum in Arizona erfüllt. Die beiden leidenschaftlichen Westernreiter helfen den Ranchern riesige Kuhherden von einer Weide zur nächsten zu treiben. Oft ist die wilde und hügeli Gegend nur auf dem Pferderücken erreichbar. Hanni und Walter Sigel, leben ausserhalb von der kleinen Ortschaft Pearce/Sunsites in der äussersten Ecke vom US-Bundesstaat Arizona. Zum ersten Mal kam das Paar Ende der 1980er-Jahre hierher und verbrachten Ferien auf einer Ranch. Die beiden leidenschaftlichen Westernreiter waren hin und weg von der wilden und kargen Landschaft und dem Alltag auf der Ranch. Sie kauften ein Grundstück mit Haus und Stallungen. Vor zweiundzwanzig Jahren siedelten sie definitiv nach Amerika um. Da sie jahrelang hierher in die Ferien kamen, hatten sie bereits viele Leute kennen gelernt, sagt Hanni Sigel: «Wir haben eine Ahnung bekommen, wie der Alltag der Einheimischen aussieht. Für uns war es ein Verlassen der Schweiz, aber im Wissen, wo wir hinkommen!» Arbeiten auf der Ranch Seit vielen Jahren arbeiten Hanni und Walter Sigel auf den verschiedensten Ranches in Arizona und lernten das Ranchbusiness von Grund auf kennen. Die Arbeit ist ein Knochenjob, sagt Hanni Sigel: «Man reitet mit Packtieren auf die weit entfernten Weiden, um den Kühen Mineralien zu bringen. Oder flickt 100 Kilometer lange Zäune.» Vor allem treiben die beiden mit ihren Pferden riesige Kuhherden von einer Weide zur anderen: «Das Futter hier in der Wüste, wächst nur spärlich.» Der längste Ritt zu solch einem Weidewechsel dauerte schon mal neun Stunden: «Da ist man die ganze Zeit im Sattel, isst und trinkt während des Reitens.»

 Sometimes those of us who love to visit the White Stallion Ranch and get to know Russell as a good friend tease him from time to time. We sometimes say ...

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Douglass, the first female President of the California Farm Bureau. Shannon shares insights into her non-traditional farming background and the inclusive, grassroots nature of the Farm Bureau, where policies are driven by local county boards. She outlines her key advocacy focuses, including the farm bill, mill assessment increases, water issues, and the insurance crisis affecting farmers. She explains the ongoing legislative efforts to address insurance challenges and improve availability and affordability through better forest management. During our discussion, we emphasize the disconnect between California's support for local, small farmers and the regulatory environment, emphasizing that these challenges push smaller farms out of business. Shannon also highlights how well-intentioned regulations can have unintended negative consequences, such as the significant investments and logistical adjustments required for switching to electric forklifts. Despite these challenges, her passion for agriculture advocacy is driven by a desire to ensure future generations can continue farming in California. Shannon views tough times as opportunities for innovation and improvement, sharing how difficult periods force farmers to make decisions that ultimately lead to better practices. Join us as we delve into the world of agriculture regulations and how to remain optimistic for the future. Shannon Douglass - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannondouglass/California Farm Bureau Federation - https://www.cfbf.com/This episode is sponsored by UnitedAg,  one of the largest association health plans to offer healthcare to the agriculture industry of California and Arizona.  Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgEpisode Contributors - Shannon Douglass, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

 “This isn't just a purchasing decision. This has huge and sweeping ramifications. As consumers, we dictate the food system; our choices pull a lever that directly dictates how all this works.” —Marshall Bartlett     Sustainable meat production is about more than just the end product— it's also about supporting a holistic farming system that nourishes both people and the land. When consumers make the conscientious choice to purchase meat from farms practicing this kind of care, it solidifies a food system that will continue nourishing communities for many years to come.   This week, Justine sits down with Marshall Bartlett, the co-founder and CEO of Home Place Pastures, a fifth-generation family farm in Mississippi that has transformed over the past decade to practice regenerative agriculture through rotational grazing of grass-fed beef and pastured pork. Marshall aims to improve soil health, support ethical animal welfare, and make locally grown, sustainable meat accessible in his community.   Tune in as Justine and Marshall talk about the challenges of conventional agriculture, how regenerative practices like rotational grazing can improve soil health and sequester carbon long-term, and the importance of education and storytelling to help consumers understand labels and make informed choices that support small, local producers. Meet Marshall:   Marshall grew up in the Home Place and fell in love with the farm and his hometown throughout his childhood. After graduating from the Mississippi School of Math and Science, Marshall left the South to attend Dartmouth College for undergrad. After college, he spent time in Montana, completed an AmeriCorps term in New Orleans rebuilding houses destroyed in Katrina, and eventually ran operations for a small business specializing in sourcing local meat for New Orleans chefs.   In 2014, at the age of 24, Marshall returned to the Home Place with a new vision for the family farm and has worked for the last 10 years to bring this vision to reality. You can usually find him on the Home Place Monday through Saturday somewhere between the meat plant, the farming operation, and the Farm Store. He often gives farm tours and butcher classes at the Home Place. He spends his off-farm time with his wife Katie and daughter Joan or traveling to help learn from other farmers and meat processors.   Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram  LinkedIn YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:33 Farming Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Practices 12:44 Financial Viability Concern  16:13 Connecting Food with Health and Planet   21:56 Manipulated Label Claim in the Meat Industry  25:17 Local and Sustainable Meat Production  28:44 Local Foods and Consumer Impact  34:05 Animal Welfare and Regenerative Agriculture  36:46 Supporting Local Agriculture   

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is running into opposition from a growing number of states in its efforts to investigate outbreaks of the bird flu virus on farms and ranches. The growing resistance to Washington meddling in farm affairs comes on the heels of the CDC warning that the bird flu virus has the potential to become a global pandemic.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

Nate Rozeveld and Rod Rozeveld sit down and discuss Nate's hunt for Wild hogs in Oklahoma on this week's episode of Michigan Wild. Starting the episode off Nate and Rod actually talk about turkey hunting and why it wasn't a priority to hunt Turkeys or a desirable game to pursue. Rod growing up had first hand experience with the negative impact the wild turkey had on the farmers crop and livestock. So to him and local farmers they were a nuisance and not necessary. As time has gone on the population got more in check and seemed to alleviate the stress they put on farmers' fields and danger to their livestock.   Farms and Ranches face similar detrimental issues if they happen to be in an area that has an abundance of wild hogs. Which is exactly where Nate found himself in Oklahoma. He was invited down there by John Hudspeth from the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast and enjoyed his time partaking in killing some hogs and bringing some meat back home. Some of the topics discussed around the hunting trip were... -What is the terrain like in Oklahoma -The challenges the locals face due to the wild hogs -Methods used for hog population control -Recap of each successful hunt  Finishing up the episode Nate and Rod hop into some current events focused around their spring food plot ideas. They have some new equipment they are excited to try along with their first planting of Vitalize seeds Nitroboost.  Don't forget your chance at a free Michigan Wild hat by sending an email to Michiganwildpod@gmail.com with a screenshot of a review or rating anywhere you listen to the podcast!

Erin Hawley: The Woman Arguing Against the Abortion PillHawley: Ranches to Roe BattleNew York Times/Yahoo News, By Elizabeth Dias and Abbie VanSickle, on March 26, 2024https://ca.news.yahoo.com/erin-hawley-woman-arguing-against-121736503.htmlThe Non-Prophets, Episode 23.14.1 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Jonathan Roudabush, Eli and Helen Greene

In this riveting episode of "United States of Small Business," host John Quick sits down with Bob West, a man whose life story unfolds like a classic American tale of transformation and resilience. From his early days growing up in Colorado, to pioneering architectural designs, Bob's initial calling was shaped by a deep-seated passion for creation. Yet, it was the allure of vast open spaces that led him to trade blueprints for the rugged life of ranching on a sprawling 3,800-acre property. Bob delves into the exhilarating experience of running OZ Architecture, revealing the challenges and triumphs of steering Colorado's largest architectural firm. His bold decision to leave it all behind for ranch life opens a fascinating chapter, inspiring "Twenty Miles of Fence; Blueprint of a Cowboy," a memoir that captures the essence of his journey. Bob contrasts the serene rhythms of ranch life against the corporate grind, sharing insights that only such a stark transition could unveil. Now, as the co-owner of a mercantile and saloon, Bob brings a slice of the Wild West to the modern day, focusing on the intricacies of customer-centered business. Throughout the episode, Bob reflects on the figures who've shaped his journey, offering listeners a deeply personal glimpse into the life of a man who's built a legacy by daring to follow his dreams. Join us as we explore the paths less traveled with Bob West, a true architect of his own destiny.
