The Ag Net News Hour Hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni, “ The Ag Meter,”  discussed the current state of the agriculture market, focusing on central California's ideal weather and the upcoming planting season. Nick Foglio from Foglio Commodities provided insights on the hay and alfalfa market, noting minimal export activity due to tariffs, particularly from China. He highlighted the stagnant feed market, with dry cow alfalfa prices firming up slightly. The beef industry supports tariffs, with domestic beef prices strong due to a shortage of replacement heifers. The citrus industry was also mentioned, with a Citrus and Specialty Crop Expo planned for August in Tampa, Florida. The USDA has repackaged the $3.1 billion Climate Smart Commodities Program into the "Advancing Markets for Producers" (AMP) program, aligning with Trump administration priorities. The new program requires 65% of funds to go directly to farmers, not administrative costs. Initially frozen by the Trump administration, the program aims to promote commodities with lower greenhouse gas emissions. Brooke Rollins, USDA Secretary, supports the revised program, emphasizing transparency and farmer benefits. The program, launched in 2022, received 450 project applications, with only eligible projects receiving funding. The Trump administration is also addressing Mexico's failure to meet water treaty obligations, impacting farmers in South Texas. Nick and Lorrie, in this segment, discussed the US Department of Commerce terminated the 2019 US-Mexico tomato suspension agreement, effective July 14, in response to a 2023 petition from the US tomato industry. The agreement aimed to prevent Mexican tomatoes from being dumped into the US market, which undercut American growers. The decision was backed by over 60 bipartisan members of Congress and major ag groups. Additionally, USDA is offering buyouts to 10% of its workforce, with 3,100 from the Forest Service and 1,200 from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service accepting. USDA is also considering relocating employees to farming regions.

The Supreme Court is getting increasingly involved in the sprawling litigation over Donald Trump's many aggressive executive orders. In J.G.G. vs. Trump — the case seeking to prevent removals under the Alien Enemies Act — the high court issued an emergency ruling saying detainees are entitled to due process but they must seek it through petitions for habeas corpus in the jurisdictions where they are actually being held. Is this a rebuke to the administration, relief, or neither?We also discuss the Abrego Garcia case, the ACLU trying for a national injunction against AEA removals under a habeas approach, and a Trump-appointed judge prohibiting removals from his South Texas district under the AEA, for now. Plus: in the Mahmoud Khalil case, the federal government is broadly asserting its power to revoke green cards because it doesn't like their holders' speech — setting up a likely Supreme Court confrontation over the extent of non-citizens' First Amendment rights.Sign up for our newsletter at serioustrouble.show This is a public episode.

Text Our Show HostsPreppers… Survivalists… Off-Gridders… Homesteaders… and the like… Welcome… to TOPS Bunker…A Podcast for PreppersSpeakpipe.com/TOPSFacebook Group… TOPS BunkerSHTF@Topsbunker.comTonight, we're discussing how we change-up our prep kits from winter to spring. The gear and preps that we keep in our kits during winter, are somewhat different from the items we keep in our packs for the Spring and Summer Seasons. Now, of coarse, this really does depend greatly on our geographical location. The farther North, or South,… we live from the equator… the more changes in our gear we'll have to make. For instance,… if you live in Florida, South Texas, Mexico, or Southern California… Your kits may not change as much as let's say… those of us living in the mid-west or the northern states, or Canada… And the same theory goes for Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa… and… the southern hemisphere… like most of South America, Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The more drastic your climate conditions change for each season, the more drastic your changes will be for your Preps and Kits.If your location experiences seasonal affects like Wild Fires, Flooding, Hurricanes and tornados, Blizzards, High Winds, and Dust Storms… Well… you'll need to gear up for those as well. And all though Earthquakes and Volcanoes are not affected by the changes in seasons… those of you living within these threat zones should be prepared for them as well.And Yes… we have Volcanos in the US… If you asked most Americans how many active volcanos are located in the US,.. you'll most likely get an answer like this… oh  5 to 10… maybe 15… Would they be correct…? No… Not even close… The USGS is currently monitoring 169 active volcanos in the US and it's territories. And as far as Earthquakes are concerned… around 10K people dies each year in earthquakes.Guys… it's important to be prepared for the events that specifically affect you at your location, and how they change from season to season.We're gonna get that conversation started right now.So, Let's Get To It...Visit HoneyComb Holler on YouTubeTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:Carhartt Mens Force Sun Defender ShirtCarhartt Womens Force Sun Defender ShirtCQR Mens Tactical RipStop PantsCQR Womens FlexStretch Tactical RipStop PantsKastKing Sol Armis UPF 50 Boonie Hat Men/WomenC&L 3-Layer Ultra Ventilated Bee Jacket w/Fencing Veil KhakiApis Tactical Beekeeping Glove White/BlackBeeCastle 10-Frame Complete Langstroth BeeHiveBeeCastle 9pc Complete Beekeeping Tool KitUrban Carry IWB LockLeather Holster EDCUrban Carry OWB LockLeather Holster EDCWolf Tactical EDC Sling BagKOVR Mens SPF 30 All Natural SunscreenKOSupport the show

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Fernando A. Flores, author of the novel Brother Brontë. Set in Texas in 2038, it is a dark tale of a future where books are burned, the libraries are closed, and your neighbor may turn you in for having books. In the interview, Flores said, "...for those of us who have traveled to the valley by car, we've been through Three Rivers many times. And it's frightening because you posit an authoritarian police city-state with people that are coopted by the city-state, with people that resist the city-state, and with people that are just trying to get by, like our protagonist, Naftali, who's just trying to get by. And I say it's, it's a little bit frightening because of, you know, if, if you look at where we are today and where we could be in 13 years...I'm hoping it's not...prescient..."Fernando A. Flores was born in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, and grew up in South Texas. He is the author of the collections Death to the Bullshit Artists of South Texas and Valleyesque and the novel Tears of the Trufflepig, which was long-listed for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and named a best book of 2019 by Tor.com. His fiction has appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books Quarterly, American Short Fiction, Ploughshares, Frieze, Porter House Review, and elsewhere. He lives in Austin, Texas.  Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media: Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreview Instagram - @diverse_voices_book_review Twitter - @diversebookshay Email: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

LAREDO, Texas - Legendary workforce development leader Blas Castañeda has been mentoring high school students for 49 years. The retired president of CTA Global Solutions will join with Area Health Education Center to hold his Annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony on March 27.This event recognizes the exceptional academic accomplishments of students participating in CTA's mentorship career development program.The ceremony takes place at Falcon Event Center, 7718 McPherson Road in Laredo, starting at 6:00 p.m. on March 27.“The mentorship career development program pairs experienced community leaders with high school seniors to provide career preparation, foster personal growth, and develop essential skills for university success. Through guidance, support, and networking opportunities, the program aims to assist students in successfully navigating the university admission and enrollment process,” said Blas Castañeda told the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service.“CTA Global Solutions and AHEC are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders by providing scholarships to deserving students who have demonstrated academic excellence and a dedication to their future careers,” Castañeda said.Castañeda became a well-known figure along the Texas-Mexico border when he chaired the Texas Border Coalition's education and workforce development committee. His career included more than three decades in the higher education realm as chief external affairs/economic development officer at Laredo Community College. Gov. Rick Perry appointed him to the Texas Workforce Investment Council. Gov. Ann Richards appointed him to the Texas Council on Workforce and Economic Competitiveness.

His resume includes an eight-year tenure as Laredo city councilmember and he was an active member of the Eagle Ford Consortium Tri-Chair Workforce of South Texas.The Guardian secured an in-depth phone interview with Castañeda. The Guardian asked him why he started a mentoring program.“In the neighborhood where I grew up, barely anyone going to college. The whole reason for that was mom and dad didn't have the money to pay for the college. So that was one of the reasons. The other reason was, when I was growing up, everybody had to go work. We used to go up north and work every year for, oh, maybe close to 20 years, working in the fields picking tomatoes and corn and lettuce and cherries and even pick up cotton. So we there was a major inopportunity to go to school,” Castañeda said.Castañeda added: “Over the years I have helped tons of students get to university. Today, they're engineers, they're nurses, they're bankers, they've got their own business, all over the place. A lot of them are here in Laredo, but a lot of them went out, and they're in different parts of the country. So, I'm very happy that my 49 years of community service really paid off for a lot of people.”Here is an audio recording of the Guardian's in-depth interview with Castañeda:Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Interview with Duncan Craib, MD & CEO of Boss Energy Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/boss-energy-asxboe-first-mover-advantage-to-large-scale-production-6643Recording date: 19th March 2025Boss Energy (ASX: BOE) is positioning itself as a significant uranium producer amid market uncertainty, with CEO Duncan Craib outlining the company's expansion strategy through both production ramp-up and strategic acquisitions.The company's portfolio includes 100% ownership of the Honeymoon mine in South Australia, a 30% stake in Alta Mesa project in South Texas, and an 18.4% stake in Laramide Resources. This diversification provides exposure to multiple uranium jurisdictions with varying timelines for development.Honeymoon, Boss Energy's flagship asset, is steadily increasing production with targets of 850,000 pounds by June 2025, 1.6 million pounds by June 2026, and 2.45 million pounds at full capacity. Recent production has been promising, with February 2025 output exceeding the entire December 2024 quarter. The company reports competitive C1 costs of $23-25 per pound, providing substantial margins at current spot prices around $65 per pound.The Alta Mesa project is also ramping up, with the second ion exchange circuit recently brought online and a third scheduled by the end of 2025. At full capacity, Boss Energy will receive approximately 450,000 pounds annually from this operation, with potential to expand beyond the nameplate capacity of 1.5 million pounds.The recent acquisition of an 18.4% stake in Laramide Resources represents a longer-term strategic position, particularly targeting the Westmoreland deposit in Queensland (containing approximately 70 million pounds of resources) despite the current moratorium on uranium mining in the region. Craib believes this policy could change with the right approach, noting that the current premier previously lifted a similar moratorium when previously in power.Financially, Boss Energy maintains a strong position with approximately $250 million AUD in liquid assets and no debt. The company expects to achieve positive cash flow by the end of Q2 2025 as production continues to ramp up.The combined output from Honeymoon and Alta Mesa positions Boss Energy to become a 2 million pound-plus producer in the near future. This established production base, coupled with strategic investments and financial strength, gives the company flexibility to pursue additional opportunities, particularly if market conditions create value in the sector.Craib supports industry consolidation to reduce corporate overhead and create operational synergies, suggesting well-funded producers like Boss Energy may be positioned to pursue acquisitions if other developers struggle to advance projects in the current price environment.View Boss Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/boss-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Episode Summary: In this episode of "90 Miles from Needles," host Chris Clarke converses with Caroline Tracey, a talented journalist with a focus on the borderlands of the U.S. and Mexico. The discussion revolves around Plan Sonora, a significant energy transition and development initiative in the Mexican state of Sonora, which borders the U.S. state of Arizona. Through this lens, Caroline explores the impacts of renewable and fossil fuel energy developments, such as lithium mining and solar arrays, on both local ecosystems and indigenous communities. Her insights underscore the complex balance between industrial progress and environmental conservation. The episode gives an in-depth look at Plan Sonora's four key components: a major solar array in Rocky Point, the nationalization of lithium mining reserves, an expansive natural gas pipeline project, and logistic developments that aim to transform Sonora into an economic hub. Caroline delves into activism efforts against these developments, particularly highlighting successful campaigns led by environmental groups against the Mexico Pacific's Saguaro Energy Project. By doing so, she paints a vivid picture of the current tensions between commercial ambitions and advocacy for ecological protection and cultural preservation. Key Takeaways: Plan Sonora: This encompasses solar power projects, lithium mining, natural gas pipeline proposals, and logistical developments, transforming Sonora into a critical player in renewable energy. Cross-border Impacts: Renewable energy developments in Mexico cater largely to U.S. demands, raising concerns about "green colonialism." Opposition and Activism: Indigenous communities and environmental activists are actively opposing certain projects due to cultural and environmental implications, most notably the pipeline and terminal proposals along the Gulf of California. Political Dynamics: Recent changes in Mexico's administration and judicial system reform are smoothing the way for energy investment and curtailing environmental regulations. Economic and Environmental Tensions: Despite opportunities for economic growth, critics argue these projects risk damaging vital ecosystems and stripping local communities of benefits. Notable Quotes: "Personally, I increasingly think that enlisting large corporations to do your climate mitigation work is inevitably going to kick you in the butt." - Chris Clarke "They plan to build a couple other solar plants that are of similar size…[in] the Gulf of California." - Caroline Tracey "There are four pipelines that are being developed right now…[raising] economic development to the detriment of people in Mexico." - Caroline Tracey "If indeed we're going to transition to renewable energy, that means first of all, stopping new extraction projects." - Caroline Tracey Resources: Caroline Tracey’s work at the Border Chronicle: https://www.theborderchronicle.com Caroline Tracey’s personal website: https://cetracey.com Ballenas ó Gas in Spanish: https://ballenasogas.org/ and in English: https://whalesorgas.org/ Article by By Martha Pskowski, Inside Climate News, and Alejandra Martinez, the Texas Tribune on opposition to the Saguaro Pipeline in Van Horn, TX: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20122023/west-texans-rally-against-cross-border-pipeline/ Stay tuned to "90 Miles from Needles" for more enlightening discussions on desert protection and environmental advocacy.Become a desert defender!: https://90milesfromneedles.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The new national Democrat boss is putting Texas high on the list for action so what's different this time? He seems to understand what matters most – redistricting.Meanwhile the far Leftist Democrats in Austin squabbling and it is no surprise – Soros-backed district attorneys, purposefully soft on violent crime, are a disaster nationwide. However, Senator Sarah Eckhardt is just as guilty as D.A. Garza because she has spent a lifetime pushing the radical agenda of the Marxist Left.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Texas lottery scandals are ballooning so it is a wonder that Gov. Abbott seems uninterested in addressing such. I wonder if legislators, despite any bloviating on the subject, actually have the guts to let the lottery die in Sunset Review this session. Here is a bunch of reporting on the scandals.Oil and gas rig count unchanged this week.Border news includes a really stupid report from the so-called “Human Rights Watch” blaming the Texas DPS for actions of the smugglers. Also, ICE raided a South Texas bakery that was knowingly employing illegal workers and the Leftist media acts as if it has never happened before. Heck, not that many years ago I remember reporting on the giant Shipley Do-nuts of Houston being raided for such.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the guys kick things off by discussing Muay Thai and Cam's recent trip to Colorado—one that, surprisingly, did not include snow. Then, strange encounters unfold: A South Texas mobile home park resident witnesses shimmering humanoid figures engaged in an eerie, silent exchange. Who—or what—were they? Meanwhile, a 911 dispatcher receives a chilling phantom call from a woman who has already passed away. In Kentucky, an angry gnome manifests in the woods, causing a young girl to faint, while a persistent witness reports multiple sightings of the legendary Trout Lake Monster. Ontario, Canada, is known for its stunning lakes and rivers. Still, it also harbors tales of mysterious lake creatures—none more intriguing than the Trout Lake Monster. This elusive, serpent-like entity has been part of Native folklore for generations. In 2010, a bizarre 15-foot carcass with fur and a horned, gargoyle-like head surfaced, fueling speculation. Some hailed it as hard evidence of the creature's existence. Still, scientists identified it as a decomposing giant otter—yet before further study could be conducted, the corpse mysteriously disappeared. Was it a hoax or proof of an ancient cryptid? Next, a Michigan couple has two eerie encounters with a human-faced feline resembling the legendary Jinmenken—both on Halloween night. A flying humanoid is spotted elsewhere, and Bigfoot's handprints are discovered. All this and more on another thrilling episode of Expanded Perspectives!
