This week on Ag News Daily, we cover China buying 95% of its soybeans from South America, the challenges and opportunities for U.S. growers and why BASF says innovation and flexibility remain key for growers. This week's agriculture news covers mixed reactions from the ag community to the Department of Health and Human Services' Make Our Children Healthy Again strategy. We also break down recent trade wins and losses, the latest farm bill update and California's move toward legalizing E15. Other top headlines include a new soybean processing facility in South Dakota and the latest avian influenza outbreak. In this week's interview, Tanner Winterhof spoke with BASF's Scott Kay and Bryan Perry at this year's Farm Progress Show to discuss their latest innovations from BASF's 0% financing program to new opportunities for soybean growers, and why the company invests 11 cents of every dollar into research and development.

When everything is perfectly organized—routes mapped, fuel stops planned, meals and beds guaranteed—it feels effortless. But the truth is, no matter how tidy the plan, the real world always gets a vote. On short rides, those small interruptions are easy to patch over. Stretch the miles across countries and weeks on the road, though, and the little things start to compound. That's when the first casualty is usually the plan—and what comes next is called the adventure.In this 2017 story, a dozen experienced riders set out to cross South America from Cartagena to Ushuaia, equipped with skills, support vehicles, and a clear plan. But tropical rain, border red tape, shock absorbers that cried uncle, and Patagonian winds forced them to adapt. The journey didn't unfold the way they mapped it—but that's the point. What carries a long trip isn't a perfect plan; it's the flexibility to rewrite it.

Micah has taken a long winding path to get to mortgage lending. But each curve in the road has helped define who he is today. His journey started with a focus on dedication and resilience as a Division 1 distance runner at the University of Colorado. Through that high level physical endeavor, he learned that every goal, no matter how big, is achievable. Even if it's taking things one mile, or one step at a time. His next chapter took him to California, where over 15 years, he worked to navigate the fast-paced world of television production in Hollywood. There he learned to think creatively and solve problems on the fly, in the fast-paced pressure cooker environment of the television industry. Along the way, he hit the road on a solo trek on his motorcycle, and spent 3 months riding from California, through Mexico, through every Central American country, on a boat to South America, and then down to Peru. This journey showed him a humanity in all people through experiences along the way. Now, he channels that same drive and creativity into the home loan and lending process. He sees every client's situation not as a problem, but as a unique puzzle just waiting to be solved.Micah's energy is infectious, and has a true passion for adding value and pouring into others.

We've discussed the impact of President Trump's trade policy on producers here in the UK, we now turn our attention to American farmers, who are being hit by retaliatory tariffs imposed on American products by countries around the world. The American Soybean Association says that exports to China have practically halted after China imposed an extra 20% tariff in response to American tariffs on Chinese goods. China is instead importing soya from South America because it's cheaper, just as it did during President Trump's first trade war in 2018. Low prices for US corn and soybean, combined with rising costs are already placing pressure on farm incomes. And with record high yields predicted for the upcoming harvest, some forecasters are warning of an over-supply of crops without a customer, potentially adding further downward pressure on US grain prices.Woodland creation is one of the most important ways of helping us meet our climate change targets, and that starts with seeds. But they're not always easily available, sometimes British supply is short or not up to scratch, leading to a reliance on less genetically appropriate imports, which carry a risk of pests and diseases. To solve that problem, the domestic production of seeds is being expanded at Forestry England's new Tree Seed Processing Centre in Cheshire. And keeping an ear on on farmland birds is becoming easier with the use of AI.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Last week, Donald Trump announced the military had blown up what he said was a drug-smuggling boat. This week, we still don't know why he believes the boat was full of smugglers. But even if they were trafficking drugs, can the president  legally blow up 11 people in international waters?  Guests: Shane Harris, staff writer covering national security and intelligence for The Atlantic.  Ana Vanessa Herrero, journalist based in Caracas, Venezuela and reporting on South America for the Washington Post.   Want more What Next?

In Brazil this week an alternate reality is unfolding: a former president, who allegedly tried to incite an insurrection to overturn an election, is on trial. A verdict is expected this week, and he may go to prison for the rest of his life. On January 8th 2023, Jair Bolsonaro's supporters broke into government buildings, demanding to overturn the result of the election Bolsonaro had lost. In the aftermath of those events, Bolsonaro was accused of masterminding a plot for a military coup. He denies these claims and says the charges are politically motivated. President Trump has called the trial a “witch hunt” and gone to extreme measures to try to influence its outcome. But have his attempts to influence the trial backfired? We speak with Ione Wells, the BBC's South America correspondent, who has been reporting from inside the trial. Producers: Viv Jones and Valerio Esposito Executive producer: Annie Brown Mix: Travis Evans Senior news editor: China Collins Image: Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in Brasilia on July 17, 2025.

The finches of the Galapagos Islands are famous in the history of evolutionary theory. But Charles Darwin spent four years studying other birds as well, as the Beagle circumnavigated southern South America before reaching the Galapagos in 1835. It was not just the birds, but a lifetime of attending to all the wild things in his path that brought Darwin to his great idea.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Jeffrey Epstein's empire was not only built on money and connections but on silence. Alongside Jean-Luc Brunel, he deliberately targeted vulnerable girls from Eastern Europe and South America, knowing cultural shame, disbelief, and poverty would keep them voiceless. Promised modeling careers, housekeeping jobs, or education, these young women instead found themselves trapped, their passports taken, their dignity stolen, and their futures erased. Epstein weaponized entire societies against them, understanding that in many cultures, speaking out meant exile, ridicule, or dishonor. Their silence was not incidental—it was the very architecture of his abuse.Even in death, Epstein's greatest weapon endures. While some survivors bravely stepped forward, countless nameless victims remain erased from the story, still carrying the silence he engineered. Their absence is not a void—it is evidence of crimes too vast to ever be fully told. Justice has been partial, selective, sanitized, and until the world acknowledges the invisible victims, Epstein's legacy of silence still shields him. The loudest scream in this story is the one we cannot hear, and if we forget it, then Epstein wins again.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On June 29, 1987, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the tomb of the late president, Juan Domingo Perón, was desecrated by a mysterious group calling itself “Hermes IAI and the 13," which led some to link the act to Perón's former minister, known for his involvement with occult groups and mystical practices. This episode brings you a story of political intrigue, violent upheaval, and the occultist who took control of Argentina's leaders: the story of José López Rega.Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.Episode sourcesSupport the showEnchantedPodcast.netFacebook/enchantedpodcastInstagram/enchantedpodcastTumblr/enchantedpodcast

On this Friday edition the host opens with a candid apology and dives into a wide-ranging hour that connects geopolitics, domestic scandal and culture-war flashpoints. The episode leads with the controversial sinking of a Venezuelan drug-cartel boat — framed as an anti-terror move — and explores the host's case that the strike is part of a larger Trump strategy for hemispheric control, regime change in Venezuela, energy dominance, and a transition away from the fiat dollar toward digital currency. China's growing influence in South America and the timing of global summits are discussed as context for U.S. action. Listeners get the show's recurring “Word on Word” game comparing two scripture passages (Exodus 33:15 vs. Matthew 28:18–20), with the Gospel passage taking the day. The program then plays a series of curated clips and commentary: James Comer on alleged White House autopen/pardon abuses with Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon previewing bombshell National Archives documents, and a CNN segment revisiting Uranium One and influence questions. The episode covers a cluster of medical- and pharma-related stories: RFK Jr.'s widely shared hearing moments, Trump's public positioning on Big Pharma and drug-price rebates, Bill Gates' presence and mRNA vaccine discussions, and archival clips of Anthony Fauci on early AIDS epidemiology. The host ties these threads into broader claims about elite influence, alleged cover-ups, and the role of powerful institutions in shaping policy. Additional segments include a provocative investigative excerpt about preserved fetal remains, a three-minute Q-adjacent clip connecting Trump soundbites, a stinging rant from a Canadian content creator about crime and policing (played for context, noted for its explicit language), and a humorous Tim Dillon clip from Joe Rogan to close. The show also touches on Elon Musk's Grok/A.I. commentary and Peter Thiel/Palantir discussion. Key takeaways: the host argues the Venezuela action signals a larger hemispheric play, raises legal and political alarms about autopen use in the White House, highlights ongoing battles over Big Pharma and vaccine policy, and critiques mainstream media framing. The episode features recorded clips from James Comer, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, RFK Jr., Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Tim Dillon and others, and ends with a personal update about the host's family and community prayer information.

The lethal U.S. military strike on a speedboat in the Caribbean was more about putting on a show than countering the drug trade out of South America. And it's not even clear that the people killed on the boat were running drugs, or that any contraband was bound for America. Meanwhile, if senators are truly concerned that local police departments are insufficiently staffed, then they should pass a bill to fund more officers instead of pushing the charade that Guard troops can legally do police work.

Get ready for an unflinching dive into the world of drug enforcement on this episode of the Mike Ritland Podcast, featuring Wes Tabor—a 35-year law enforcement veteran who spent over two decades with the DEA, operating across the United States, Central America, and South America. With stints embedded alongside the CIA and authorship credits for his eye-opening book Infiltrate America (plus the upcoming Beyond Blurry Lines set for next summer), Wes doesn't hold back as he recounts the brutal realities of his career. Mike and Wes dismantle pop culture myths about DEA agents—no, it's not all black fatigues and window-storming raids. Instead, Wes paints a picture of tedious investigations that turn spy-like overseas, while admitting the agency often fails at public messaging, leaving misconceptions about their focus (hint: they weren't chasing small-time weed dealers, but multi-ton shipments of cocaine and heroin from cartels in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico). He pulls no punches on DEA leadership, calling out bureaucratic inertia, "latte commandos," and a culture that stifles real change, drawing parallels to issues plaguing the FBI, ATF, and even the military. Tune in for a masterclass in resilience from a guy who's seen it all—and isn't afraid to call it like it is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
