This quarter of the Future of Agriculture podcast is made possible by Case IH: https://www.caseih.com/en-us/unitedstatesJ.R. Simplot: A billion the hard way by Louie AtteberySimplot company website“During World War II, Jack Simplot's plants produced thirty-three million pounds of dehydrated potatoes and five million pounds of dehydrated onion to fuel America's fighting men and women. In the 1960s, he helped McDonald's chief Ray Kroc turn the french fry into a national staple. In the 1980s, the Idaho farm boy with the eighth grade education played a major role in making the personal computer a household word. And as a new century begins, the company and the man show little sign of resting on the laurels.”That is from the book J.R. Simplot: A Billion the Hard Way by Louie Attebery which tells the incredible life story of J.R. Simplot, more commonly known as Jack Simplot. Today Simplot is a household name for those of us in agribusiness. The diversified global company has business interests in farming, ranching and cattle production, food processing, food brands, phosphate mining, fertilizer manufacturing, and other enterprises related to agriculture. But the humble beginnings it came from and the incredible evolution of the company has a lot of insights for all of us interested in the future of agriculture and is the focus of today's history of agriculture episode. Brought to you by Case IH: Case IH designs,engineers and produces cutting-edge farm equipment based on a comprehensive understanding of farmers' needs, wants and challenges, integrating these insights into their development and manufacturing.For example, take their Model Year 25 Magnum tractor. The new Magnum is purposefully designed to answer farmers' needs in every design and engineering choice. Improved horsepower for pulling heavier loads, faster. Bundled, integrated and ready-to-go precision tech for greater accuracy in the field. And a transmission farmers can tweak for improved control and performance in different tasks. That kind of design thinking is exactly where the future of ag is headed, and that's why you'll be hearing me talk to the folks at Case IH at different points throughout this quarter about what they do and how they're working to push the ag forward.

HerdFlex beef embryos are great tool for dairies that are taking advantage of the beef on dairy trend. Embryos offer more than obtaining calves with a higher market value. A number of farms have also found embryos can have a positive impact on dairy herd reproductive performance, especially in the case of cows that have been bred with semen multiple times without conceiving. This episode is sponsored by Simplot Animal Sciences. Simplot's Animal Sciences team uses an innovative approach to provide advanced reproductive solutions for beef and dairy cattle producers to improve efficiency, productivity, and profitability in a changing market. Combining extensive experience in agribusiness with the latest in reproductive solutions, the Animal Sciences team developed the innovative SimVitro branded platform for improving genetics and reproductive efficiency in dairy and beef cattle.

The four companies that produce the overwhelming majority of the U.S.'s frozen potato products conspired to fix prices in recent years, according to a series of newly filed lawsuits.Five antitrust suits, the Washington Post reports, were filed in an Illinois federal court in recent days against Lamb Weston, J.R. Simplot, McCain Foods and Cavendish Farms. Combined, those companies control more than 95% of the market for french fries and other frozen potato products.Download and listen to the audio version below and click here to subscribe to the Today in Manufacturing podcast.

Dairy farmers are reaping the benefits of current high prices for dairy-beef crossbred calves thanks to historically lower cattle replacements and strong beef demand. Opportunities for beef-on-dairy strategies remain strong, especially beef embryo-based programs. Feeders and packers seek uniformity between animals and efficient growth. They are willing to reward dairies for these efforts, at least while the national beef herd rebuilds following years of drought, wildfires, and economic hardships. Simplot's Jeremy Howard and Select Sires Lauren Kimble, discuss the market outlook and how it might affect your beef on-dairy programs. This episode is sponsored by Simplot Animal Sciences.

Homelessness – and the provision of related services – has evolved into a substantial economic sector. While services are primarily provided by nonprofits, funding starts at the federal level and flows from federal, state, and local grantors into the nonprofit space. The funding and services are distributed through a vast national network of local nonprofit organizations, with Arizona alone hosting as many as 167 such entities. CSI estimates that the total nonprofit workforce dedicated to alleviating homelessness in Arizona is as high as 51,000 employees and volunteers. For context, the state's largest private organization employs about 45,000 people. CSI estimates that statewide spending in Arizona is approximately $933 million to $1.1 billion annually on shelter, treatment, food, and other support services for people experiencing homelessness. According to the latest Point-in-Time counts, today there are more than 14,000 (Estimate 1, Appendix B) people experiencing homelessness in Arizona, and another 9,600 estimated to be in Permanent Supportive Housing. You can find our full report on the topic, titled Homelessness Spending Tops $1 Billion in Arizona here.

Our guest today may not be a household name but you certainly know his work.A self-described Idaho farm boy, at 11 years old, Neal Harmon purchased a cow and wrote a business plan to create a million dollar dairy, then take the money he earned to become a missionary.An industrious youth, Harmon believed that he would become the next J.R. Simplot. For those of you scoring at home, Simplot was and is known as Idaho's most famous billionaire.While his plan included raising high numbers of heifer twins, little did Harmon realize but he was being groomed for something much more. An innovator in the entertainment business. Along with his brother,  Harmon eventually formed Angel Studios, a home for creative stories that amplify light. You might be familiar with some of Angel Studios projects … the highly successful television series about the life of Jesus, “The Chosen", and Dry Bar Comedy, a place for clean comedians and family friendly comedy. Those programs and other Angel productions have earned billions of video views around the world.Harmon  joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to discuss Angel Studio's ambitious plan to release more than 300 media projects over the next few years.

HannaLore and I start by checking in on recent Idaho State History Department events. We then jump right in and have another wide ranging and fascinating conversation, this time about the history of Soda Springs Idaho. We talk about how Soda Springs got its name and the role of trapping, religion, agriculture, mining, Simplot, and more in the history of the development of the area. We also talk about the history of movie theaters and entertainment in the American West.
