Podcasts about trialing

After decades of working in conventional agriculture, Herb Young immersed himself in regenerative practices and planted a regenerative citrus orchard in Georgia. Herb has meticulously researched techniques to improve soil health and crop resilience and implemented them on his farm. His grove serves as a living research farm, where he conducts trials on soil microbiology, nutrient density, and pest management to push the boundaries of what's possible in citrus production. Squeeze Citrus is Herb Young's brand, where he grows and sells regeneratively farmed citrus, focusing on nutrient density and flavor. His rigorous approach to soil health and plant nutrition has led to fruit with significantly higher levels of flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamins compared to conventionally grown citrus.  In this episode, John and Herb discuss:  Trialing microbial inoculants, compost applications, and pest management strategies How Herb's citrus contains up to eight times more nutrients than conventionally grown fruit Marketing regenerative, nutrient-dense citrus direct-to-consumer How his trees thrive in a mulch-rich, biologically active environment while facing fewer disease pressures Advocating for a shift from a cheap food policy to a quality food policy Additional Resources To learn more about Herb Young and Squeeze Citrus and to order fruit (when in season), please visit: https://squeezecitrus.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

TerryAnn Fernando joins me to talk about why she favors trialing over testing and hunting. Having spent years in each activity with her Vizsla, Zara, TerryAnn offers valuable insights into what she enjoys about each one and what sets them apart. Watch Here Highlights: A positive experience at a JR Hunt Test results in the Accidental Bird Dog What appeals to TerryAnn more about trialing and testing? Do we lose any "hunt"by focusing on competing? The dogs know the difference between hunting and competing The learning curves for new hunters Are tests and trials the only real way to bring in new hunters in the South? Walking entry for horseback trials Trials or tests preference? Trials are just as welcoming as tests The way to appeal to younger and newer people is to actually act like want them to show up! Can you compete at a high level while focusing on hunting? Does it hurt to have a generalist dog as opposed to a specialist?

Duff is owner of Bevill Vineyard Management in Sonoma County. And Brooke Parsons is Viticulture Analyst with Bevill Vineyard Management. And we're going to talk about the Ford Pro Pilot Project that they're involved in. Thanks for being on the podcast. [00:02:19] Duff Bevill: You bet, man. [00:02:19] We're happy to be here. [00:02:20] Craig Macmillan: So Duff, what exactly is this project? How'd you get involved in it? Give us a little history. [00:02:26] Duff Bevill: Yeah, back in I think it was September, October of 2021. Well, I'm involved with the Sonoma County growers organization and Carissa Cruz, our president and Carissa. [00:02:37] Got a name of somebody to call. And she made a cold call to a Ford motor company. And then I think one more phone call after that. And she got in touch with Ford pro told him what we were interested in doing. Thought whether it was a perfect fit because our sustainability program that we've you know, managed now for more than a decade, well over a decade. [00:02:54] And Ford sent someone from Detroit out here to meet with us over dinner and another representative out of Sacramento that was, I think, a lobbyist for Ford, I can't remember exactly. His role, but both of them came out here and she cold called a couple of us to come and have dinner with his middle of harvest and yeah, we hit it off and she went back to I guess, technically Dearborn and told them back there that we were legitimate and she thought that they should pursue something with us. [00:03:19] So that, that was in September, October, then in November around Thanksgiving. A team from Ford came to meet with us. They want to know size of our fleet of vehicles. They're just trying to get some, to find out how legitimate we might be. And they went back positive. And then the following January, so it'd be January of 2022 Ford came out full blown to Sonoma County, out to the Dutton Ranch. [00:03:43] And we had a big, giant press release. President Jim Farley came out from Ford, all on film, gave a talk and that sort of thing, and it was a big deal. So that really launched, it's really January of 2022. Roughly probably March, I think it was, of 2022, they didn't have the lightened pickup trucks available yet. [00:04:01] That was still, suffering from COVID, you know, and, and Production was down. So , they actually had some Ford vans, electric vans, which they just gave us a try and Brooke she was basically assigned that van and tried to figure out what to do with it. And so we, all collectively came up with an idea on how to use the vans, although you know, they're just not a fit for farming, but we made, we made it work out. [00:04:23] And then I think it was in June, we finally pick up the lightning. So June of 2022, we've got the lightnings. And then what we did was we gave Ford feedback. We met with engineers, either Zoom or in person on a pretty regular basis for the better part of a year. More than a year probably. [00:04:40] Just getting feedback from a farming point of view, you know, from us using vehicles in the field. And each one of the three companies used them differently and to gather information. I personally wanted to drive it so I could see. How it would work if I want to buy more, would actually work for me . [00:04:56] I know one of the other companies used to have their shop mechanics use it and another company had one of their field foreman use it. So all of us really tried something different with it and for different reasons. But anyways, that's how it worked out. And we just fed information back and forth, making recommendations, you know, see if there's any flaws that Came up and we'd report back immediately to them. [00:05:14] We saw something that Could be improved or or ask why it was the way it was that sort of thing [00:05:20] Craig Macmillan: And we're talking about a completely electric vehicle that's designed for farm use Is that right? [00:05:25] Duff Bevill: The concept of ford pro so I got my ford hat on right now the concept of ford pro It's a division that was created to really focus on business people with fleets so farming was a connection I don't think they thought of until we reached out to them. [00:05:42] I think on paper, originally they were looking at the local contractor. You know, the guy was he drove it personally, he was the contractor, or he had a couple carpenters working for him. I think that was probably it initially. Whether they were thinking of farming at all until we reached out to them. [00:05:58] I don't know. They almost certainly weren't thinking of wine grape growing on the west coast. I think that the whole name Ford Pro, it was really targeted to professional business people who would normally have a pickup truck and how they could adapt using electric vehicle. [00:06:15] Craig Macmillan: I wasn't familiar with this until this came up for this episode. Is this product line is, is that commercially available at the time that you approached them? Is it available now? Is it still in kind of a testing state? [00:06:26] Duff Bevill: They weren't available yet, but they were marketing in the summer of for sure the fall, but certainly the summer of 2021. [00:06:33] I saw ads on TV or Something that would pop up on a website. If you're on Googling something else on a Ford pro for a lightning come up for 10 seconds and disappeared on it. It was a little bit of a tease at that point. But I know the one I got or the one that we have now was number one Oh nine. [00:06:48] Craig Macmillan: Okay. [00:06:49] Duff Bevill: I used to kid them asking, tell them I wanted number one, but they wouldn't give it to me. But I got number one oh nine and, they were just beginning to market it you know, shortly after Covid hit. And so they continued to in, in 2021, you know, we were basically all shut down in 2020. [00:07:05] And 2021 was still pretty disastrous, but they were but all their production facilities were shut down. I mean, they came to a halt just like everybody else. So I think they anticipated getting out there, marketing earlier, making it available earlier. But I think the biggest stumbling block was for, I think a lot of manufacturers, they just didn't have the chips from the big chip manufacturer in Hong Kong. [00:07:25] And that was what it boiled down to. I think it was true for all the car companies. Yeah. [00:07:30] Craig Macmillan: Yeah. I remember that. [00:07:31] Duff Bevill: That was, you had to get that out there. And so they had a marketing plan. They created a division. They had a president of the division identified. The marketing team was in place. [00:07:38] All the engineers were shifted to the Ford pro team. You know, we got to meet almost all those people, I could, make a phone call to one of the head engineers anytime I wanted to, or send them a text or an email. [00:07:49] Craig Macmillan: Wow. [00:07:50] Duff Bevill: It was a real interesting experience. [00:07:53] Craig Macmillan: And you said you got a van first, is that right? [00:07:56] Duff Bevill: Yeah, Brooke drove it, yeah. [00:07:57] Craig Macmillan: That got handed over to you, Brooke. What was that like? Did you have experience with electric vehicles prior to that? Did you have experience with vans prior to that? Were you, Pickup truck person. [00:08:05] Brooke Parsons: Good questions. Yes. I had never driven a van much prior, especially for viticultural tasks. Before using the e transit, I used a pickup with a trailer that I would load a four wheeler onto the trailer and the e transit took the place of the trailer and the pickup. So I loaded With a ramp. The four wheeler inside. [00:08:31] Craig Macmillan: Oh, it was a pretty good sized vehicle then. [00:08:33] Duff Bevill: Yeah. A half ton chassis. It was basically F-150 chassis, but the van, you know? [00:08:38] Craig Macmillan: Oh like a panel van. [00:08:40] Duff Bevill: Exactly. [00:08:41] Craig Macmillan: Oh, okay. I was thinking like in a condo van. [00:08:44] This is more like a panel van. You got room to put stuff in. That makes sense. More like a, more like a service truck. [00:08:48] Brooke Parsons: Like a service truck. So I'd open the back of it to load the four wheeler, but I could also open the side to access my tools and whatnot. It was nice. [00:08:59] Duff Bevill: They actually outfitted it with shelving. Which would have been perfect if you were like a plumber or an electrician. But with the shelving it made the bay too narrow that we couldn't even fit the four wheeler and ATVs, so we had to take the shelving out so we could use it for that purpose. [00:09:14] You know, we just substitute trailer and a pickup truck for the van. But how long did you drive that van? [00:09:20] Brooke Parsons: I drove it for one full season, so May or June through the end of harvest. [00:09:25] Craig Macmillan: How did you find that? Cause you see that all the time. You see the truck with the trailer, with the ATV in the back. [00:09:30] How did you find that moving up to a van? Did you find it easier to drive? More difficult? Were you not as confident [00:09:34] Brooke Parsons: I loved it because I didn't have to worry about a trailer and I didn't have to unload it each night to put it in the barn. So I just closed it all up and it was safe inside the van. [00:09:46] If I went anywhere. I felt safe to leave the four wheeler locked inside and it wouldn't be tampered with. It was simple enough to bring back to the shop and charge every day and be ready to go the next morning. [00:10:01] Craig Macmillan: That was gonna be my next question, Brooke. So when you first started with this, did you have any concerns about range? [00:10:05] Duff Bevill: All of us do. [00:10:07] Brooke Parsons: Yeah, that was the number one concern was range. For our operation, we farm all in Sonoma County and in a given day, I wasn't driving more than say a hundred miles in the van and it did make a difference in the range, whether or not I had weight in the vehicle or not, or if I use the heat or not. [00:10:32] I didn't have as much range in the van as the Ford Lightning. And I had to be careful there were a couple of scary moments that I thought I'd have to call Somebody to come get me, but I never ultimately ran out of power [00:10:48] Craig Macmillan: So with a little practice and a little experience, you knew [00:10:51] Duff Bevill: If you were to buy a a ford lightning, I don't know about the other electric vehicles in the ford product line But for sure the lightning you would have a choice of, I think, two different battery packs. [00:11:02] One they refer to, I believe it's just standard. And then they had a second option or an option that would be the extended battery. My understanding at the time, the Ford, pro version of the Ford Lightning came with a standard battery. But when they heard I was, you know, initially I was getting over 300 miles in a charge, I asked them about that and they said let us get back to you. [00:11:22] Well, a week later they got back and said, oh yeah, that's right, we set yours up, or the three, but for sure mine, the one we still have, with the big battery. They sort of custom built that truck. These three are one offs in that first early run of the heavier battery pack, which to me and I suggested this to him, if the marketing is intended to be to the professional business owner driving a pickup truck, I think Ford pro should just be, you have a standard big battery in it for those reasons. [00:11:50] They may do that. I have no idea. You're got a professional driver. He's in there going from. The lumber yard to the job site down to the Supply depot for something else. I would just think that's just based on our habits in the farming industry. [00:12:03] You're shuffling around and it seems to me that'd be a good option, but anyways, It worked out great for me. [00:12:08] Craig Macmillan: So you've been driving the lightning now for a little while, right? [00:12:11] Duff Bevill: I drove it for the first two I guess nine months just so I could assess How I might want to buy more of them for , our operation here. [00:12:19] We buy a couple of pickup trucks every year. I gave , the, pickup to Brooke. So she now drives the pickup cause we turned the van back in. [00:12:25] Craig Macmillan: I figured that might get kicked back to you so Brooke now you've driven the van now you're driving the truck How do you feel about the truck? [00:12:31] Brooke Parsons: It handles better than any vehicle. I've ever driven. I love to drive it. I'm very proud of it and I Like it a lot zero complaints [00:12:41] Craig Macmillan: Even though you have to have a trailer again [00:12:42] Brooke Parsons: Even though I have to have a trailer again, that's okay. [00:12:45] Duff Bevill: It was remarkable how it seemed like it was luxurious riding because the electric horsepower, . That thing is so powerful. One of the things, again, my understanding of the engineers, they redesigned the chassis on it. [00:12:57] So Ford that F one 50 has four wheel, all four corners, independent suspension. Soon as we got to, we put it up on the rack to take a look at the, Technology underneath it. Look at the batteries, you know, you're not touching anything, you're just looking at everything. [00:13:10] And they designed this beautiful cast aluminum suspension for the back end of that truck. That you'd find in a, I don't know, luxurious European automobile, I think. But it's built heavy to handle all that, torque. You know, oh, it's like, I don't know, 800, horsepower when you push the special button on the dashboard, you know, and it's pretty stunning the performance and that's all torque. [00:13:31] That's twisting power. And so the engineers had to design into that thing, something capable of handling that much torque is beautiful. But the point is a four wheel independent suspension just rides beautifully cars heavier. So about a thousand pounds heavier, I think because of the batteries. So the comments, the extra weight. [00:13:47] And a very sophisticated suspension. It's just like a luxury sedan. And you're driving pretty nice. [00:13:52] Craig Macmillan: And so Brooke, you've been driving this truck now, one of the things that has come up around electric vehicles has been the question of horsepower end of torque. [00:13:59] How do you feel this truck performs compared to like, let's say a diesel dually, [00:14:03] Brooke Parsons: It accelerates very quickly, so getting onto the freeway is no problem when it's busy. And the other biggest factor that I notice is braking. You hardly have to brake and it takes a little bit of time to get used to because when you take your foot off of the accelerator, it naturally stops because the engine isn't going. [00:14:29] And you hardly have to use your brakes, which is very nice. [00:14:33] Duff Bevill: When I first got it, my wife had a Prius many, many years ago, and she pretty much drove it right off the lot. The way it was set up from the dealer. Well, I discovered that you could switch to regeneration on electric. So when you did let off the throttle, it would break by regenerating electric motors, regenerate electricity, put it back in the battery. [00:14:52] Well, that's the first thing I did on this lightning. Find that setting I think in the nine months that I drove it I told the guys at Ford I said, I'll bet you I didn't touch the brakes ten times in those nine months [00:15:03] Brooke Parsons: but to answer your question I've only pulled light things behind it and So I haven't really put it to the test in that way. [00:15:13] Craig Macmillan: I was doing a little research on this and I understand that there's like a data collection and management component to this that's attractive. [00:15:19] What can you tell me about that? Have you used that feature? It can tell you about your fleet, I guess? [00:15:24] Duff Bevill: Aside from electric vehicles Ford was really interested in us, Using and learning to use, and hearing back from us, their telematics. That's what they call it, Ford Telematics. [00:15:37] And I think it was initially launched with the Ford Pro division, where you sign up every vehicle in your fleet. We've got like 20 Ford pickup trucks, something like that. If you go back all the way, I want to say like to 2014. [00:15:49] Prior to that, I'm not sure, but for sure, like 2014, the electronics in those vehicles have the capability of just hooking up to the telematic system. The Ford is promoting, and if you get it into your fleet and get your, your vehicles in entered in your fleet, you can monitor them. Of course, like GPS, that's what everybody's doing nowadays, but much more than that, your shop manager could know, have a better use of knowing when it's time for an oil change, you know, we just do it. [00:16:14] We track that kind of stuff, hard copy paper, put a sticker on the dashboard and the drivers relay to us when the mileage number comes up, they notify the shop manager and we schedule for a service. Typically the oil filter change and then in general inspection we inspect the brakes and all that kind of stuff. [00:16:31] With the telematics they have the potential setting up where you could punch in a timeline that you wanted either by the calendar. Like every 12 months on the vehicles that we don't run very much. We do a major inspection every 12 months. And then the ones that actually have the mileage being for somewhere between five and 7, 000 miles, something like that. [00:16:50] Depends on the vehicle. Depends on the tractor or it's a pickup truck or a full size class eight diesel truck. And so all that stuff is available. And one of the pluses and this happened to us. It was a perfect, we've used this as an example. Typically in modern vehicles, the components that fail first are the sensors that measure your NOX exhaust pipes. [00:17:11] Those are the ones that are going bad. Probably because of the heat cycle they go through because of their exhaust pipes, right? So about anywhere between 40, 000 and 60, 000 miles, those are the devices that fail. So one of our foremen called the shop, our shop manager, and said check engine light came on. [00:17:27] I guess he got the code through telematics, identified it as an oxygen sensor, ordered the part. The truck never came back to the shop. It's still out on the job site. We're supposed to be with the crew. He gets the parts ordered. The delivery guys bring the part to the shop that day. And it's interesting how it works is that is the analysis is it is 90 percent likely it's your oxygen sensor. They come up and then when the guy back that night, they bring it right into the shop and change that sensor. At the end of the day, confirmed that that was the part that needed to be replaced. [00:18:00] The next day was back on the job site, all repaired. The only other way around that would have been. Bring it back to the shop. Get your, your analysis device on it, you know, on the onboard computer or mechanic drives out to the job site, does the same thing at the job site. [00:18:16] And then it comes back or it comes out, orders the parts on a telephone or something like that. So it's saves time. There's no doubt about it. And there's a lot more to, manage a lot of the of systems we have already in place Ford doing the same thing with their telematics. [00:18:28] So some of the things Didn't have any added value because we already have that kind of technology, but they were expanding a lot of that technology for fleet management. So that's a real plus. And they were constantly tweaking that in making improvements on the usability of it and that sort of thing. [00:18:44] So that was a big deal. That was a big one. [00:18:47] Craig Macmillan: The fleet management aspect of having an electric vehicle like this with this kind of a technology going into the future could be huge for a farm, could be huge for a management company like yourself that has properties all over the place. That kind of remote diagnostic is really amazing. [00:18:59] The idea of like, Hey, the light's on. Okay, I'll fix it tonight. No problem. [00:19:03] Duff Bevill: Well, the other big plus is when we put that lightning up on the rack, just to take a look at it, you know, we're just kind of noodling through the, , there's no oil to change in an engine. We found one plug access to a transmission on it. [00:19:18] But even the owner's manual says don't touch any of that kind of stuff. You know, they can be serviced, but there's no schedule for servicing. The disc brakes, I don't think you'd ever If you use the vehicle to its maximum value, I don't think you'd ever put brakes in it. There's no transmission transitions made up of hundreds and hundreds of parts. It's not electric motors or a simple, simple mechanical device and the internal combustion engine has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of parts that aren't there. So it has the potential of being over the ownership timeline of it. [00:19:52] A lot less cost per mile. Even when you, you calculate in your Cost of electricity charge, but we have here and we've got solar panels here too. We already had installed From a number of years ago So we've got sort of that added advantage whether the electric vehicle made a little bit even more sense because we're already kind of using discounted Power [00:20:11] Craig Macmillan: that was going to be my next question. i'm assuming your solar is connected to the grid So it's an offset so you're not islanded, but you still have the, you're generating power on your own. [00:20:20] So you've got onsite power generation to power your fleet to a degree. That's brilliant. Yeah, that's fantastic. I remember years ago people were complaining about diesel engines and friends of mine were like, well, if you build us a solar truck, I'll freaking drive it. I got no problem with that. [00:20:33] Well, here we are. What do you know? It's 30 years later, we have solar trucks, in effect. There has to have been some obstacles to adopting this. Were there some roadblocks or some things you had to learn along the way before you really felt like you were totally comfortable? [00:20:46] Duff Bevill: Well, like I said, I was familiar with a hybrid. [00:20:49] I still drive a hybrid. I drive a hybrid Ford pickup truck now. We had to get a charging station installed. Here at the office and then, you know, there's a decision. Do I do it at home or do the office? I wanted to hear at the office because that's where the fleet is parked and I had to think through, you know, get the one installed and how many more can I have and how many trucks will it eventually service without a major infrastructure redesign. [00:21:11] So we've got that one put in and I, in the process, I had the electrician who was recommended to us. I had him install extra conduits underground. That are dummy right now. I assume we'll, we'll, extend for more pickup trucks. [00:21:25] That was really the big obstacle. And then that's why I drove it because I want to know firsthand exactly what I was up against. I accomplished what I wanted. I want to learn as much as I could about it. Being there, having access to the Ford people, especially the engineers. Was on the fast track of having a better understanding. [00:21:40] I got to talk to the guys who actually, one guy designed the grill, the other guy designed the dashboard. I mean, I was talking to those, [00:21:45] Craig Macmillan: you had access. Yeah. That's, that's pretty amazing. Brooke, what was your learning curve? Like you talked about a couple of things, but were there obstacles that you felt you kind of ran across that you had to figure out, or that could be improvements [00:21:56] Brooke Parsons: just forming the habit of charging. [00:21:57] One time I forgot and. I was responsible for getting people someplace in the morning and it made me nervous. But you do that once or twice and you don't forget. So that was the real only obstacle. When traveling a longer distance, I did have to learn how to find charging stations that work well, are compatible with the lightning. [00:22:25] And Ford is making advances in that area, now partnered with Tesla to use their system. And so that will only improve. But really it's around learning how to use the logistics of electric charging. [00:22:44] Craig Macmillan: Right. And that's true for electric charging. For all of that. And you're right. I think a little bit of practice. [00:22:49] Most of the folks that I know with electric vehicles, they're scared at first, and then they kind of figure it out. Now that you've had a chance to work with this, I think I already know the answer to this question. I mean, there's a question for both of you. When you were looking to your crystal ball, how do you see this technology being applied in the future? [00:23:03] Duff Bevill: Think there's a place for it. I'm not so sure that one type of energy source is going to be the, solution for everything. I think practically, I think it's going to be some kind of a combination of energy sources and I don't discount nuclear. [00:23:14] There's probably a place for everything, certainly in a transition period that that'll work best for all. Electrician put in the the charging station for us. He said, , if everybody's gonna go electric, the package must be solar panels, um, battery storage, either a large battery storage in a community setting, you know, like in a neighborhood or a small city size. [00:23:37] Or you'll have battery storage areas that is appropriate, like maybe at our farm shop. Because we're commercial, we would be a candidate for battery storage, at least for our operation. So you'd have a solution for, you know, we're back to Sonoma County weather conditions again for the first time in quite a few years. [00:23:55] I mean, it's overcast and rainy a lot of days out of the year. If you have solar panels, they're just not going to be working as efficiently and you still have to go to work every day and get your people to work. If you are relying. Let's say exclusively on electric, you've got to have something other than solar panel on the roof [00:24:09] so windmill, solar panels, battery storage, there's some combination of multiple technologies. I just think that's sort of realistic of what it is. Do you want 95 percent of it to be coal? No, none of us do, you know, cause we all know the story there, but is, is there a place for coal for 10 percent of it? [00:24:25] 15 percent of it. Don't know. I have no idea. It's good. I mean, we liked it. It's you know, just, we're not relying on it entirely right now, but we'll phase into it as time goes on. [00:24:33] Craig Macmillan: Well, that was going to be, and and maybe Brookie also can kind of speak to this. I mean, is there a time when there isn't going to be a diesel truck on the farm? [00:24:40] Duff Bevill: We're more concerned about diesel tractors. You know, the evolution went from, steam, you know, the early 1900s. The steam to, and then, you know, both in automobiles and, and on, on the farm, the competition was steam or gasoline because diesel wasn't invented yet. [00:24:58] diesel engine wasn't invented until the 1920s. So turn of the century, 19th and 20th century, it was a competition between steam and gasoline, gasoline won. So gasoline surge forward all the way into the 1930s and with a few exceptions and in the 1940s, but by the 1950s. There was a clear transition that diesel was much, much more efficient, you know, pound for pound and horsepower for horsepower. [00:25:24] I can't even think of where you could buy a gasoline tractor once you got in the 1970s. I'm sure you could still, but it represented a really small percentage. And by the 80s and 90s, it's all diesel.down to almost lawnmower size you can get it John Deere ride along more, you probably have a choice between gasoline and and diesel power to mow the golf course, [00:25:42] that's actually transitioning to electric now too, you know, those, those small ones will plug it in and then mow for two hours, we're not even in the transition part of that story yet. [00:25:52] There's a couple, manufacturers that have electric tractors the, inconvenience of them is really insurmountable right now, but changing batteries at lunchtime in your barn and that kind of stuff, tough. That's, tough technology. [00:26:05] Craig Macmillan: It's still new. Yeah, this is still new. We're still finding our way there. I've talked to people about that topic quite a bit. It'll get better. Yeah, we'll see where it goes. Hey, Brooke, what is one thing that you'd recommend to listeners if they're thinking about adopting electric vehicles for the farm? [00:26:20] Brooke Parsons: Would say be open to trying new things. It expands your mind and. It allows opportunity that would not be there otherwise. And be okay with mistakes. That's how we learn. [00:26:37] Craig Macmillan: That's great advice. I think that's really, really good. Where can people find out more about you at Beville Vineyard Management?

This Training Audit Episode was a fun one! I'm joined by current Road to Detection student, Angela. We talk about the goals she set at the beginning of the program, and how to continue progressing to more fluid training concepts and skills. Angela has two very different scent detection dogs. Dalton a Miniature Schnauzer, and Candela a Doberman. Both are progressing at a different pace and we can already see their individual styles emerge. We chat a bit about how to progress the different dogs, and also the importance of prioritizing confidence, motivation and independence as she moves forward with more complex scent skills. Finally, I coach Angela through the process of using her training journal to not only plan training sessions but to look back at where she started! This is such a powerful aspect of our training and really puts a spotlight on all the progress made, rather than always thinking about what's left to work on. One of my favorite quotes from Angela as she discusses the Road to Detection Program is, "This is like the PhD program. This isn't high school scent detection." I love this because Angela is as nerdy about this sport as I am, so we can really connect over the details. I hope you enjoy this episode! 00:00 Navigating the Challenges of Scent Detection Training 01:48 Exposure to Trials: Gaining Insights and Confidence 07:35 Progression Plan for Introducing New Scent Puzzles 13:15 The Importance of Clear Training Goals and Foundation 22:30 The Art of Search Area Setups in Scent Detection Training 24:54 The Value of Trialing and Training Takeaways 28:21 Individualized Trajectories for Training Different Dogs 32:49 The Power of Training Journals and Process Goals 35:35 Confidence, Problem-Solving, and Blind Hides I have a great freebie that will help you with deciding what scent detection skills to work on.

Show NotesThis week on the Rally Onward Podcast we're going to be talking about trialing problems. It's important to be able to evaluate your score. Did you incorrectly perform (IP) a sign? Do you always IP that specific sign? Was there an issue with the venue? Was there a noise you can proof for so your dog isn't confronting an unfamiliar scenario? The ability to evaluate what needs fixing will help you trial better next time.Sign of the Week: Offset Figure 8Visit our website: https://rallyonwardpod.comCheck out the Brags And Wags page to see brag pictures from our listeners, and send us a brag of your own.

Cheryl C. and Cheryl K. share key tools for thriving with arthritis, like finding ways to ask for help, developing health literacy, practicing self-compassion, and getting support. They also discuss the safety of modern medicine and how to balance it with complementary therapies to create an individualized plan for managing rheumatoid arthritis.  Additionally, they delve into the mental health techniques that have helped them cope, including: reframing exercises, and working past bias. Cheryl K. shared how she used her experiences to form Arthritis Consumer Experts, a patient-led and science-based organization with the goal of providing better education to people with arthritis.Episode at a glance:Navigating chronic illness when the internet was just starting: Cheryl Koehn had an athletic background, but when symptoms struck she went to the library to do her own research and advocated for herself despite medical gaslighting.Trialing treatment options: Cheryl K. initially denied Western Medicine before she ended up with 36 active swollen joints within a year and progressively worsening quality of life. Following this, she received gold injections and other conventional DMARDs initially, adding in Methotrexate and later transitioning to newer medications like biologics as they became available.Coping with peer pressure: People trying to convince her that “natural is better” and to avoid medications, however natural isn't inherently better at controlling disease and newer medications are backed by research. Cheryl C. and Cheryl K. discuss how a balance of complementary therapies and medication help people safely manage their conditions. Koen practices reframing exercises, works on explicit and implicit bias, and considers “what can I learn from this person today” with an open mind.Wisdom for newly diagnosed patients: Find ways to ask for help! Develop health literacy as a tool for advocating for yourself and to guide decision making.What does it mean to thrive with rheumatic disease: Practice self-love and self-compassion, love what you do, and give yourself room to breathe.Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE): Cheryl K. used her experiences of running her own consulting firm, volunteering, and being on the board at the Arthritis Society to form this organization.

Episode 16: New to Trialing - Thoughts for New Handlers ** Having a puppy has once again highlighted what it is like to bring a new dog to a trial for the very first time. Thoughts from Emma and Margaret for those new to trialing. And a few tidbits for old timers too.

027 Data from our training sessions inform future training sessions, right? What about trial data? Are you practicing during the week the issues that come up on the weekend? Is your current way of analyzing that data producing results for you? If not, it may be how you're analyzing the data is missing a few key questions that I'm always asking myself when watching my trial videos. Let's dive in to what "competition-only issues" may really mean and how to set up training to start improving those sticking points.

This week, we share the recording of Chris and Rachel's recent webinar with aaccessible.org in which they answer questions related to AAC assessment, the benefits of a team-based approach to assessment, selecting motivating assessment materials, and more!   Before the interview, Chris and Rachel discuss Chris's recent discovery that a student he worked with who was very important for him professionally had passed away. They share about some of the challenges anyone can face working with people who have complex medical needs, including people passing sooner than we expect. They also highlight the importance of teaching students about their bodies and how to say they feel sick or pain and where things hurt. It can also be a difficult balance with encouraging communication when the family is struggling just to keep the child healthy.   Key ideas this week:  

Today, Stacy, Robin, and Crystal answer ten listener questions for “Stupid Question Day,” though they clarify that there's no such thing as a stupid question.Key Topics:“What is the most random breed you've seen doing search & rescue, nosework, or bite sports?” (02:37)“For people who train nosework, are there things that we need to practice or be aware of before trialing?” (06:39)“What would you do if a dog is cataloging or checking in a search area and containers for target odor before returning directly to source and doing a trained final response?” (10:42)“Do I need to worry about my dog getting their tongue frozen to objects?” (20:06)“Essential oils vs hydrosol for nosework: Is there any difference in how the scent call moves?”(23:40)“Certain forms of sport detection require a pattern (i.e. search strategy) and other forms of nosework do not. You can actually get docked points if you do not have a search pattern that makes sense. Why is this the case?” (28:48)“How many days a week do you do detection work vs other training? What's a good balance?” “What are sport detection options for K9 teams?” (34:41)“What would you consider to be foundational for a live find wilderness canine?” (44:45)“Does anyone train for K9 rescue when the dog falls into rapid moving water off of the shoreline?” (54:00)“What is your favorite diversion?” (54:22)Resources:Crystal's new Facebook Group!We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

In Episode 49 of The Healthcare Leadership Experience Jim Cagliostro is joined by Todd Nicklas, Senior Clinical Trial Manager and Head of Clinical Operations at Trevena to discuss the benefits and challenges of clinical research trials.    Episode Introduction Clinical trials can transform healthcare and the patient experience, yet they are not without their challenges. In this episode, Jim Cagliostro, VIE's Clinical Operations Performance Improvement Expert, interviewed Todd Nicklas to discuss his experience with clinical research, including the positive impact for hospitals that participate in clinical trials, overcoming patient hesitancy, and the high cost of achieving FDA approval.    Show Topics   Why clinical trials matter to healthcare From bench research to real life scenarios Clinical research can reduce patient readmissions Trialing heart donors with Hepatitis C Overcoming patient hesitancy  The $2.6 billion cost of successful clinical trials The impact of COVID-19     01:55 Why clinical trials matter to healthcare Todd said clinical research can attract patients to hospitals by giving them access to brand new treatments.     ‘'Physicians and patients have access to cutting edge new technologies and that's brand new technologies and medicines that maybe are a few years down the road in development, or maybe that just got approved and that hospital has it ready to go in their formulary and ready to be used. They're maybe ahead of the game versus other hospitals around their area. And that might get people excited to come to their institution. I worked in clinical research on the hospital side for about 10 years, and some patients would come to our hospital for the very reason of trying out a research medication or trying to work with a physician that's doing a trial with us with a medication. Got them excited to come to that institution versus maybe their own hospital that they're at.''     03:56 From bench research to real-life scenarios  Todd shared an early example of artificial hearts, trialed in a cow.   ‘'Another great thing, I would say, is a fair amount of hospitals have translational bench research and they want to translate that into real life scenarios and putting it in patients and giving it to patients. So you see something that maybe was developed 30, 40 years ago. You and I worked at Penn State Hershey Medical Center for a few years, and I love the story in the, I believe it was the 1970s. They were working on the first total artificial hearts. And this device was pretty primitive at the time. It's developed a good bit as of today, but they put it in a cow and they have a neat story that it was a pneumatic system. It was an air compressed system and they plugged it in, it was back in the 70s, they had the plugs in and I guess some electrical problem happened, and the cow dropped like it was dead because the power went out and somebody thought to blow on the pneumatic tubing that was in the back of the machine to have the blood pump for that cow and, to bring it back to life until they get the electrical power back on. And the cow lived for weeks and months after that. But it gets people excited, "Oh, Hershey Med's doing this? And look at this neat story." And then the years to come, the cow survived, they put it in patients a few years after that, but it's doing great and people can get that now at home. They can actually go home with a total official heart and a driver. ‘'     05:24 Clinical research can reduce patient readmissions  Todd said new medications can improve patient outcomes, leading to fewer readmissions, rehospitalizations and ER visits.    ‘'….Physicians that are so used to certain procedures, certain medications, certain devices, they might have good outcomes and they might do fine. But what if there's a new medication that gives them 50% better outcomes or 50% less hospital burden where people are coming into the hospital, 70% less, or pick a number. Why wouldn't that be something that's a top priority or a top consideration in your mind? I worked with the CardioMEMS device, which was a really neat device that was bought by a larger company. But at the time, it was the small company that was running it. And it's a device implanted into your pulmonary artery to measure heart pressures, and to tell you when your heart pressures are not doing well, and even if you're not symptomatically feeling that change… And the biggest reason why it got FDA approved was the fact that it was reducing re-hospitalizations, readmissions, and even people coming back for ER visits, even for heart failure. So why wouldn't that get hospitals excited saying, "Hey, we can reduce our heart failure admissions by X percent." That's less burden on the hospitals, less burden on the doctor, nursing staff, supplies, beds.''     12:45 Trialing heart donors with hepatitis C Todd shared his experience working in heart failure and transplant, when patients were out of options.    ‘'I worked in heart failure and transplant where people are at the end of their rope and last ditch options with heart failure.... Hospitals did a study where they would have patients be able to get hepatitis C hearts from donors that had hepatitis C. But the goal was that if they did receive that heart, that they could get a treatment that would immediately t rid of the hepatitis C. And it would open the doors to more options when you're waiting on a heart transplant for years, and you never know if you're going to make it to get a heart or not. I remember talking to the second patient that got it at Upenn, and he was ecstatic about how he got... I think he got a heart within two weeks of signing up with the study and it would've been months and months. So yeah, it was a leap of faith. It was a little bit of nerves with him, but he read the consent form. He talked with his physicians, he understood the safety behind it, and what he could know and not know at the present. And he made his own decision.''     13:39 Overcoming patient hesitancy  Todd highlighted the importance of transparency around risks and benefits for patients.    ‘'Clinical research is very focused still today on the patient first and safety first. You can quit a trial at any time and you can work with the physicians to do so. And I'll talk about this a little further down the road, but I think a big hesitancy is the fact that research in the past, maybe 30, 40, 50 years ago, there were times where people wouldn't tell people that they were doing... Physicians or clinicians wouldn't tell people that they were doing a trial on someone, or wouldn't be as transparent about the risks and the benefits, or maybe say, "Oh yeah, this is the next best thing, but not really tell both sides of the equation of saying, "Well yeah, but we don't know X, Y, Z about it. But nowadays, I've given patients consent forms that are 20 to 26 pages long, just to say every single thing about the study and how your data is going to be shared and confidentiality and safety, benefits, visits, little bit of everything. So I think it's really developed even the last 10 or 15, 20 years, but I think that's a big hesitancy in the past is, if you think about the Tuskegee studies in the 1930s and forties come up pretty often here. I know that was about 80 years ago, but that's a big one where people were not told at all about multiple things.''     19:56 The $2.6 billion cost of successful clinical trials Todd outlined the complexities and huge costs of achieving FDA approval.    ‘'That's a tough thing to know because one, it wastes cost and money to put all that forth, that effort, if you're not really learning a lot from it, and it's not slam dunk at the end of the day, but we don't know what we don't know sometimes. And it is speculation. There's so much money that has to go into these trials. I looked up a 2018 study, they said that 12% of drugs in clinical development stages get approved 12%. And it costs about $2.6 billion on average to get a drug from the very first stages of it being studied, maybe in animals or even before that to getting it FDA approved. So people don't understand that it takes so many different iterations of trials and money and understanding all the, how does it affect your kidneys? How does it affect your heart? How does it affect your brain? How is it broken down? How effective is it? All these studies have to be done for the FDA to make a good decision. And sometimes knowing how to asset in a protocol could make or break protocol, the development of that some people might just toss it aside and say, "Well, we can't develop that anymore because we don't have the money for it and we missed the target on this." So that's a tough one, I would say upfront.''     23:11 The impact of COVID-19 Todd said that the pandemic showed how participation in research studies can have a positive impact.    ‘'I think people across the board are still hesitant to research in the sense that they think they're their Guinea pig. I came across it a lot where people would say, "Are you just trying this out on me because I'm a Guinea pig and I'm just saying yes to it?" And the misconception I think is because, until there's a big cure for cancer or a big cure for something major where people are saying, "Wow," from a societal perspective, like we really now appreciate research and understand I think COVID vaccine a little bit, but it also has some political components to it where people were like, "Look at the impact of the COVID vaccine. But then some people kind of are worried about different sides of how that data has landed. But I think when there's big things that really hit the clinical medical world where people are like, "Wow, this is great that we have research that people are willing to do." Then you get the sense of people jumping all in. We actually had that in 2020, 2021 where people are, were really banging down the doors to say, "I want to do research," because they saw how much COVID was affecting the world, and how maybe their participation in a research study could help our understanding of it.''     Show Links Connect with Jim Cagliostro on LinkedIn Connect with Todd on LinkedIn Check out VIE Healthcare Consulting     You'll Also Hear:   The benefits of clinical trials for your hospital – from attracting new patients, to building partnerships with pharma companies and device manufacturers as ‘'first adapters.'' ‘'…People will say, "Well, do I want to go to a hospital that has 10 years of experience with it, or they just started last month?"

What he did was he actually took a fully catheter and put it into a vein in his arm... Because he believed that this was a doable procedure. This was 100 years ago, 1929.''   Overcoming cultural issues: why participation on a clinical trial can't be based on patient-doctor relationships alone. ‘'There's been times where I've had to fight and advocate for my patients to say, "Hey, I don't think this patient knows enough about what they're saying yes to."   The red tape around clinical research and why it's always ‘'safety first'' for patients.    Why it's important to understand that most patients don't meet the criteria to successfully enrol on clinical trials. ‘'I think it's like 70% of the people tend to not meet the criteria. And then another 30% to 50% tend to decline the study. So when you already take those numbers down, let's say you have 1,000 people that would meet the criteria.''   What To Do Next:   Subscribe to The Cost Advantage for Healthcare Leaders and receive a special report on 15 Effective Cost Savings Strategies.
