Avec le perfectionnement des outils de génération d'images, les vidéos artificielles, censées donner vie à des moments historiques, se multiplient sur les réseaux sociaux. Souvent remplis d'erreurs et d'anachronismes, ces clips alimentent la désinformation historique. Imaginez-vous en train de déambuler dans les rues de Rome durant l'Antiquité, dans une tranchée lors de la Première Guerre mondiale ou dans une forêt à l'époque des dinosaures. Voici le genre de voyage temporel que proposent ces vidéos artificielles diffusées sur les réseaux sociaux. Ce que vous venez d'entendre, c'est Chloé, une jeune femme entièrement générée par IA. On peut la voir assister à différents événements qui ont marqué l'histoire : la Révolution française, le naufrage du Titanic ou encore l'éruption du Vésuve. Aucune période historique n'est épargnée. Les vidéos de ce compte cumulent des dizaines de millions de vues sur les réseaux sociaux. Erreurs et anachronismes Visuellement, l'illusion est presque totale, à tel point que des internautes se demandent en commentaire s'il s'agit d'un clip synthétique ou d'une reconstitution historique réalisée avec de vrais acteurs. La qualité des images, le son et l'esthétique générale donnent l'impression de visionner un contenu pédagogique, pensé pour se documenter sur une période ou un événement de notre histoire. Sauf que, en réalité, c'est tout le contraire. En effet, ces vidéos comportent énormément d'erreurs factuelles et d'anachronismes : un drapeau bleu-blanc-rouge trois cent cinquante ans avant sa création, un Moyen-Âge sinistre, sombre et très sale, la France sacrée lors de la première Coupe du monde en Uruguay, etc. Déformer notre vision du passé Ces vidéos, souvent courtes, enchaînent les infox mais aussi les anachronismes. Basées non pas sur le travail d'historiens reconnus, mais sur un ensemble de sources abstraites, elles véhiculent aussi de nombreux stéréotypes. S'y ajoutent, parfois, des motivations politiques voire une forme de révisionnisme. Résultat, ces clips bouleversent notre vision du passé et participent aussi à invisibiliser les sources fiables et les documents historiques. C'est notamment le cas pour la Shoah avec des vidéos artificielles mettant en scène des victimes de l'Holocauste. À lire aussiLes IA génératives et le risque d'une réécriture de l'histoire de la Shoah La quête du buzz Derrière ces vidéos historiques artificielles, on retrouve une pluralité d'acteurs, allant des passionnés d'histoire peu soucieux de la réalité des faits aux internautes en quête de profit. Ces vidéos, souvent virales sur les réseaux sociaux, peuvent se transformer en une véritable source de revenus. La concurrence grandissante entre les créateurs de vidéos historiques artificielles aboutit à une surenchère, avec des contenus toujours plus sensationnalistes et donc toujours plus mensongers. Souvent présentées comme des contenus synthétiques, ces vidéos ne sont pas supprimées par les plateformes. Au contraire, les algorithmes les mettent en avant. Le phénomène n'est donc probablement pas près de s'arrêter.

Todos conocen el artículo 5 de la OTAN: un ataque contra uno es un ataque contra todos. Casi nadie leyó el artículo 13, la cláusula de salida.Trump ya dijo que está 'absolutamente' considerando irse de una Alianza que llamó 'tigre de papel'. Y mientras se discute si legalmente puede, el repliegue ya empezó: 5.000 soldados menos en Alemania, una brigada acorazada cancelada en Polonia, capacidades de largo alcance de vuelta a casa.Nuestra tesis: para dejar de estar en la OTAN no hace falta salir de la OTAN. Una alianza no es un texto, es una expectativa — y las expectativas no se derogan, se erosionan.Lo analizamos con nuestro invitado Ricardo Barboza: qué pierde Europa, qué pierde Estados Unidos, y qué le enseña todo esto a un país chico como Uruguay."

Sal and Mark are back. This week they bring on Aaron Day to expose what is really inside the Clarity Act, what the politicians claim it does versus what it actually does, and why he believes it could be the largest surveillance bill in United States history. From freezing your funds without a warrant to giving foreign central banks access to your transaction history, the details are alarming. They also cover which cryptocurrencies they believe are the best hedge against a growing technocratic state, the case for Zano and Freedom Dollar, and how to get started in agorism through crypto meetups and conferences. Learn more about Aaron Day's analysis at day2026.com Mark also interviews Vance from My Latin Life about how easy it actually is to get Mexican residency and why it may be the best Plan B available today. They cover temporary versus permanent residency, what it costs, income requirements, and the fact that Mexican permanent residency requires zero physical presence to maintain. Vance also touches on other popular destinations his clients are exploring including Panama, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, and why the Southern Cone is particularly interesting right now for those looking to build a passport and residency portfolio.

I samlingarna finns kartor, fakturor och byggdelar till stugan på Snow Hill, där en oplanerad övervintring gav forskningstid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet är en repris från november 2025. På våningarna i Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek ligger Otto Nordenskiölds personarkiv, fyllt av kartonger märkta Sydpolen, Grönland och Peru. Bland godbitarna finns loggboken från ångbarken Antarctic, med anteckningar som följde med när fartyget övergavs och senare krossades i Weddelhavets is 1903. Här finns också originalfakturan på den forskarstuga som fraktades i byggdelar och restes på Snow Hill, tänkt som bas för mätningar medan fartyget arbetade vidare i de okarterade haven.Dokumenten visar hur expeditionen 1901–1903 drogs in i oväntade isförhållanden, hur grupper hamnade på skilda platser och hur en vinter i provisoriska hyddor kom att prägla både människor och forskning. Telegram och brev speglar väntan hemma, tills argentinska örlogsfartyget Uruguay till sist nådde fram. I samlingarna finns även korrespondens med polarupptäckare som Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott och Ernest Shackleton, samt manus till ett tal i Göteborg 1908.Föreståndaren Anders Larsson pekar också på material om Nordenskiölds liv i Göteborg, från Geografiska föreningen till arbetet med den blivande Handelshögskolan och fredsengagemanget under första världskriget. Arkivet började byggas upp 2001 och växer fortfarande genom gåvor från släktingar och kompletterande förvärv.Reporter: Mats Carlsson Lénartmats.carlsson-lenart@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

HSBC dejó de operar en Uruguay bajo esa marca y pasó a hacerlo como BTG Pactual, tras la compra de su operación local por parte del grupo financiero brasileño. Pero esta operación no puede analizarse en forma aislada. Se enmarca en un proceso más amplio de expansión y profundización del sistema financiero uruguayo. ¿Qué está pasando con el negocio bancario? ¿Y qué lugar ocupa esta adquisición dentro de ese proceso? Análisis de la economista Alicia Corcoll de la firma Exante.

San Francisco Solano, Presbítero Lc 10,1-9 10,1 Después de esto, el Señor designó a otros setenta y dos, y los envió de dos en dos para que lo precedieran en todas las ciudades y sitios adonde él debía ir. 10,2 Y les dijo: «La cosecha es abundante, pero los trabajadores son pocos. Rueguen al dueño de los sembrados que envíe trabajadores para la cosecha. 10,3 ¡Vayan! Yo los envío como a ovejas en medio de lobos. 10,4 No lleven dinero, ni alforja, ni calzado, y no se detengan a saludar a nadie por el camino. 10,5 Al entrar en una casa, digan primero: '¡Que descienda la paz sobre esta casa!'. 10,6 Y si hay allí alguien digno de recibirla, esa paz reposará sobre él; de lo contrario, volverá a ustedes. 10,7 Permanezcan en esa misma casa, comiendo y bebiendo de lo que haya, porque el que trabaja merece su salario. No vayan de casa en casa. 10,8 En las ciudades donde entren y sean recibidos, coman lo que les sirvan; 10,9 curen a sus enfermos y digan a la gente: 'El Reino de Dios está cerca de ustedes'. Memoria de San Francisco Solano Martirologio Romano:En Lima, capital del Perú, san Francisco Solano, presbítero de la Orden de los Hermanos Menores, que para salvar almas recorrió en todas las direcciones América Meridional, enseñando con palabras y con milagros a los indios y a los mismos colonizadores españoles la novedad de la vida cristiana († 1610). Francisco Solano, llamado «el Taumaturgo del nuevo mundo», por la cantidad de prodigios y milagros que obtuvo en Sudamérica, nació en 1549, en Montilla, Andalucía, España. Su padre era alcalde de la ciudad, y el jovencito desde muy pequeño se caracterizó por su habilidad en poner paz entre los que se peleaban. Cuando había algún duelo a espada, bastaba que Francisco corriera a donde los combatientes a suplicarles que no se pelearan más, para que hicieran las paces. Estudió con los Jesuitas, pero entró a la comunidad Franciscana porque le atraían mucho la pobreza y la vida tan sacrificada de los religiosos de San Francisco. Los primero años de sacerdocio los dedicó a predicar con gran provecho en el sur de España. Sus sermones no tenían nada de rebuscado ni de elegante, pero llegaban hasta el fondo del corazón de los pecadores y conseguían grandes conversiones. Es que rezaba mucho antes de cada predicación. Primer contagio. Llegó a Andalucía la peste del tifo negro y Francisco y su compañero Fray Buenaventura se dedicaron a atender a los enfermos más abandonados. Buenaventura se contagió y murió (y ahora es santo también) luego se contagió también Francisco y creyó que ya le había llegado la hora de partir para la eternidad, pero luego, de la manera más inesperada, quedó curado. Con eso se dio cuenta de que Dios lo tenía para obras apostólicas todavía más difíciles. Pidió a sus superiores que lo enviaran de misionero al Africa, y no le fue aceptada su petición. Pero poco después el rey Felipe II pidió a los franciscanos que enviaran misioneros a Sudamérica y entonces sí fue enviado Francisco a extender la religión por estas tierras. Fue una gran alegría para su corazón. Y sucedió que una terrible tempestad lanzó el barco contra unas rocas frente a Panamá y se partió en dos. No había sino una embarcación para volver a tierra firme, y el misionero prefirió aguardar allá en esos escollos con los esclavos negros que él había venido instruyendo durante el viaje y acompañarlos hasta que llegara otra barca a salvarlos. Y aprovechó esos tres días de terror y peligro, para acabar de instruirlos y bautizarlos allí mismo. Varios de ellos perecieron luego entre aquellas olas pero ya habían sido bautizados. La pequeña embarcación los llevó a unas costas inhospitalarias y allá pasaron días terribles de hambre y peligros. Cuando los marineros se desesperaban lo único que podía calmarlos era la intervención del Padre Francisco. Cuando había peleas, al único que le hacían caso para dejar de pelear, era el Padre Solano. Al fin lograron que un barco los recogiera y los llevara a la ciudad de Lima. Fray Francisco Solano recorrió el continente americano durante 20 años predicando, especialmente a los indios. Pero su viaje más largo fue el que tuvo que hacer a pie, con incontables peligros y sufrimientos, desde Lima hasta Tucumán (Argentina) y hasta las pampas y el Chaco Paraguayo. Más de 3,000 kilómetros y sin ninguna comodidad. Sólo confiando en Dios y movido por el deseo de salvar almas. Y le sucedió en aquel gran viaje misionero, que lograba aprender con extraordinaria facilidad los dialectos de aquellos indios a las dos semanas de estar con ellos. Y le entendían todos admirablemente sus sermones. Sus compañeros misioneros se admiraban grandemente de este prodigio y lo consideraban un verdadero milagro de Dios. Pero lo más admirable es que las tribus de indios, aun las más belicosas, y opuestas a los blancos, recibían los sermones del santo con una docilidad y un provecho que parecían increíbles. Dios le había concedido la eficacia de la palabra y la gracia de conseguir la simpatía y buena voluntad de sus oyentes. Fray Francisco llegaba a las tribus más guerreras e indómitas y aunque al principio lo recibían al son de batalla, después de predicarles por unos minutos con un crucifijo en la mano, conseguía que todos empezaran a escucharle con un corazón dócil y que se hicieran bautizar por centenares y miles. Un Jueves Santo estando el santo predicando en La Rioja (Argentina) llegó la voz de que se acercaban millares de indios salvajes a atacar la población. El peligro era sumamente grande, todos se dispusieron a la defensa, pero Fray Francisco salió con su crucifijo en la mano y se colocó frente a los guerreros atacantes y de tal manera les habló (logrando que lo entendieran muy bien en su propio idioma) que los indígenas desistieron del ataque y poco después aceptaron ser evangelizados y bautizados en la religión católica. El Padre Solano tenía una hermosa voz y sabía tocar muy bien el violín y la guitarra. Y en los sitios que visitaba divertía muy alegremente a sus oyentes con sus alegres canciones. Un día llegó a un convento donde los religiosos eran demasiado serios y recordando el espíritu de San Francisco de Asís que era vivir siempre interior y exteriormente alegres, se puso a cantarles y hasta a danzar tan jocosamente que aquellos frailes terminaron todos cantando, riendo y hasta bailando en honor del Señor Dios. San Francisco Solano misionó por más de 14 años por el Chaco Paraguayo, por Uruguay, el Río de la Plata, Santa Fe y Córdoba de Argentina, siempre a pie, convirtiendo innumerables indígenas y también muchísimos colonos españoles. Su paso por cada ciudad o campo, era un renacer del fervor religioso. Un día en el pueblo llamado San Miguel, estaban en un toreo, y el toro feroz se salió del corral y empezó a cornear sin compasión por las calles. Llamaron al santo y éste se le enfrentó calmadamente al terrible animal. Y la gente vio con admiración que el bravísimo toro se le acercaba a Fray Francisco y le lamía las manos y se dejaba llevar por él otra vez al corral. A imitación de su patrono San Francisco de Asís, el padre solano sentía gran cariño por los animalillos de Dios. Las aves lo rodeaban muy frecuentemente, y luego a una voz suya, salían por los aires revoloteando, cantando alegremente como si estuvieran alabando a Dios. Por orden de sus superiores, los últimos años los pasó Fray Francisco en la ciudad de Lima predicando y convirtiendo pecadores. Entraba a las casas de juegos y hacía suspender aquellos vicios y llevaba a los jugadores a los templos. En los teatros, en plena función inmoral hacía suspender la representación y echaba un fogoso sermón desde el escenario, haciendo llorar y arrepentirse a muchos pecadores. En plena plaza predicaba al pueblo anunciando terribles castigos de Dios si seguían cometiendo tantos pecados y esto conseguía muchas conversiones. Un día estando predicando en una misa empezó a temblar. Las gentes quisieron salir huyendo, pero él les dijo: «Si piden perdón a Dios, no les sucederá nada malo». Todos pidieron perdón y nada malo sucedió aquel día allí. Otro día en pleno sermón exclamó: «Por las maldades de estas gentes, todo lo que está a mi alrededor será destruido y no quedará sino el sitio desde donde estoy predicando». Y así sucedió años después. llegó un terremoto y destruyó el templo y todos los alrededores, y el único sitio que quedó sin que le pasara nada, fue aquel desde donde el santo había predicado. En mayo de 1610 empezó a sentirse muy débil. Los médicos que lo atendían se admiraban de su paciencia y santidad. El 14 de julio, una bandada de pajaritos entró cantando a su habitación y el Padre Francisco exclamó: «Que Dios sea glorificado», y expiró. Desde lejos las gentes vieron una rara iluminación en esa habitación durante toda la noche. San Francisco Solano: pídele a Dios muchas bendiciones para América. Tomado de Ewtn.com/espanol

Send us Fan MailThe first World Cup champion in history spoke Spanish — Uruguay, 1930. The Latino history of fútbol, from Aztec stone courts to the Estadio Azteca.Ask most people who won the very first World Cup and they'll say Brazil, Italy, or England. They're wrong. And the real answer says everything about us.This is a solo episode on the history of fútbol, the origins of the World Cup, and how deep Latino roots run in the biggest tournament on Earth.THE BALLGAME BEFORE THE BALLGAME Three thousand years before England wrote a single rule, our ancestors were already playing one of the oldest organized ball games on the planet. The Aztecs called it ōllamaliztli — from ōlli, their word for rubber. The Maya called it pok-ta-pok. They played with a solid rubber ball that could weigh up to nine pounds, in massive stone courts, with crowds in the stands. Mesoamericans invented the rubber ball. And this was no weekend kickaround — it was sacred, tied to how they understood the sun, life, and death. No hands, no feet. Hips, forearms, thighs. A version of that same game, ulama, is still played in Sinaloa, México, to this day.WHERE THE MODERN GAME REALLY CAME FROM England's original version was called mob football — entire villages dragging an inflated pig's bladder across miles of open country. Broken bones, brawls, deaths. Kings tried to ban it, and a preacher in the 1500s called it a bloody, murdering practice rather than a friendly sport. The most beautiful sport on the planet started as a legal riot between two towns. England's boarding schools — Eton, Harrow, Rugby — finally tamed it, and in 1863 they split the difference in a London tavern: the foot game became association football, the hands game became rugby. That's also where the word "soccer" comes from. Not America. England.DID FÚTBOL COME FROM CHINA? FIFA officially points to cuju, played in China more than two thousand years ago, as the oldest recorded version. Most historians call the connection a stretch. Their reasoning is simple: kicking a ball is just something humans do. It appeared independently in China, Greece, Rome, Japan — and right here in the Americas. Nobody handed the game down to us.HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN FIFA? No. For about forty years there was no global governing body at all. FIFA was founded in 1904 in Paris by seven European countries — and England, who wrote the rulebook, was too proud to join at first.URUGUAY 1930: THE FIRST WORLD CUP The first World Cup ever played wasn't in London, Rome, or Paris. It was in Uruguay. They were the best team on Earth, they were celebrating a hundred years of their constitution, they offered to pay for everything, and they built the Estadio Centenario from scratch. Thirteen teams played. Seven came from the Americas. The first goal in World Cup history was scored against México on opening day. And in the final, Uruguay beat Argentina 4-2 in front of 93,000 people to become the first world champions in history. The next day the whole country shut down for a national holiday.TEN TITLES Brazil has five World Cups, more than any nation on Earth. Argentina has three, including Maradona in 1986 and Messi in 2022. Uruguay has two, including the Maracanazo of 1950. Ten world championships in Latin America.AND AN HONEST LOOK AT FIFA FIFA's record off the field is ugly — the 2015 corruption arrests in Zürich, and right now, the ticket situation at the Estadio Azteca, with everyday Mexican fans priced out of watching their own national team on their own soil. That's not okay. But a boardroom in Switzerland doesn't get to rewrite what we built on the field.Follow the show, share this with somebody watching the games this summer, and leave a rating.

How do harmful cultural norms, traditions, and deeply rooted beliefs impact intimate partner relationships—and what can we do to change them?To help us unpack this important topic, our host, Nandini Raywas joined by two distinguished members of the Pakistani community: Ahsan Qazi and Maria Ahmad. Ahsan Qazi is a writer, researcher, entrepreneur, and sociologist with a deep interest in understanding the forces that shape society. Ahsan has a bachelor's degree in English Literature and Sociology, followed by an MBA in Strategy and Innovation. He is the founder of One Voice: Pakistan and World Affairs in Sociological Perspective. Ahsan has written extensively on social, political, and global issues, with his work published in Eurasia Review. His research explores inequality, governance, identity, and the growing impact of artificialintelligence on society, political beliefs, and human behavior. Professionally, he has spent more than eight years working inenterprise technology and technical communication, and he is the founder and CEO of Marvalero, where he is building an AI-powered platform for businesses and creators. While technology is an important part of what he does, his deeperpassion has always been understanding people, how societies evolve, why institutions succeed or fail, and how ideas shape civilizations.Maria Ahmad is an international development professional with two decades of experience working at the intersection of gender, migration, and institutional accountability across the UN agencies, INGOs, and independent consultancies. Her work has repeatedly returned to the question of how women, particularly migrant and minority women, are represented, protected, and structurally excluded within the systems meant to serve them, from her early reporting career in Pakistan as an award-winning journalist covering social and gender issues - including reports on MukhtaraMai's jirga-approved gang rape and accompanying her to the Pakistan Parliament tofight for justice - to her recent gender-mainstreaming review of Uruguay's National Migrant Integration Plan with UN Women and IOM, where she examined how policy frameworks fail to account for gender even when they claim to be gender-responsive. Maria's career began injournalism in Pakistan, where she reported for GEO TV, BBC Radio, and Canadian broadcasters before moving into humanitarian and development work with IOM,where she spent years designing accountability and communication systems for displaced and vulnerable populations, including large-scale crisis response inPakistan. She has since worked on safeguarding frameworks addressing gender-specific vulnerability and trafficking risk, advised on AI-enabled toolsfor documenting technology-facilitated gender-based violence, and written on the representation of immigrant communities in public discourse. As a Pakistani woman who has lived and worked across South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American contexts, she brings both a personal vantage point on the patriarchal norms shaping South Asian family and partner relationships, and a professional lens on how those norms show up — often invisibly — in the policies andinstitutions built around them. Host: Nandini Ray, Sr. Manager, Outreach, Prevention &Policy Advocacy at Maitri.

The next decade of global dairy growth may look very different from the last one. For years, much of the world's additional milk came from pasture-based systems. New Zealand added acres. Production expanded across parts of South America, Australia and Europe. But those regions are not growing the way they once did. Today, the next unit of milk is increasingly coming from grain-fed systems. That shift could put the U.S. in the driver's seat for global dairy markets over the next 5 to 10 years. In this episode of The Milk Check, host Ted Jacoby III and the Jacoby team are joined by Scott Briggs of Bridgecape Commodities. We dive into: Why marginal milk growth is shifting from grass-fed to grain-fed systems What environmental policy and structural inefficiencies mean for European milk production Why China is shifting from building milk supply to creating higher-value dairy products Why the U.S. will need to become a more consistent exporter of butterfat Plus, beef income has helped support dairy farm margins and encouraged producers to breed more cows to beef. What happens if beef prices fall? The cows are ready. The plants are being built. What's next for U.S. dairy? Listen to The Milk Check episode 102: Who Wins the Next Decade of Milk Production?

Ask The Milk Check Intro commercial [Text not included.] Ted Jacoby III: Coming up on the Milk Check. Ted Jacoby III: You’ve got the U.S. dairy industry now in a position where even the worst-case scenario continues to be a threat for Europe or the rest of the world from a milk supply standpoint. Ted Jacoby III: Welcome to the Milk Check from T.C. Jacoby & Co., your complete guide to dairy markets, from the milking parlor to the supermarket shelf. I’m Ted Jacoby. Let’s dive in. This week, we are excited to have Scott Briggs from Bridgecape Commodities joining us. Scott lives in Australia and really understands what’s going on with dairy markets on that side of the pond. Scott, thank you so much for joining us. We’re excited to have you. Why don’t we start by having you tell everybody a little bit about yourself? Scott Briggs: Thanks very much for the intro, Ted. I’m Scott Briggs, Bridgecape Commodities, based down in Melbourne, Australia and work with a number of Asian and Oceanic consumers to try and understand global dairy markets and try and help them risk manage. Thanks very much for the opportunity to be a part of the podcast. Ted Jacoby III: Scott, thanks for joining us. We’re really excited to have you. We’re gonna have a little bit of a debate: How do U.S. dairy production costs compare to those in New Zealand, Europe, and China today? Do we think the U.S. is building a lasting competitive advantage? And what does that mean for the global dairy market over the next five years? Scott, I’ll start with you. You’re based down under. Do you think the U.S. Is developing a competitive advantage, or do you think New Zealand will continue to be in the driver’s seat? Scott Briggs: It’s a very big topic Ted, but I think the short answer is that yeah, the U.S. is really in a great position to drive global dairy markets over the next 5 to 10 years. One of the major things that’s changed probably since about 2015, we’ve been in a transition period where the marginal milk growth is not coming from a grass-fed system anymore, it’s coming from a grain-fed system. Between 2000 when a lot of global dairy markets started to deregulate and we had falling trade controls and those sorts of things, quotas in the EU eventually coming off, between 2000 and 2015, the marginal milk growth was really coming from a grass-fed system, be it New Zealand growing the number of acres that it planted or the number of acres that it farmed. Places like Uruguay or southern Brazil or Argentina growing quite strongly and other parts of Europe and Australia as well. So that was the driver of the growth, and that’s why we saw that volatility in global dairy markets driving back towards a grass-fed cost of production. But since then, those places have stopped growing and really the next unit of growth or the next liter of growth comes from grains and ultimately that does mean that the U.S. is in a great position to respond to the milk production needs of the world. At the end of the day, you’ve got the greatest exportable surplus of grains and you’ve got a fantastic platform to grow from. That’s the 10,000-foot view of why the U.S. is in the box seat. Ted Jacoby III: You mentioned that even New Zealand is starting to go towards a grain-based system. Could you tell me a little bit more about that? Scott Briggs: I would say that’s pretty incipient, Ted, but there’s certainly steps that are being taken in New Zealand that seem to mirror what Australia’s been doing for probably the last five to 10 years. You have a marginal cost of production that is grain-fed and it’s being led by the U.S. At the moment, if we looked at the margins in the U.S. for a dairy farmer, they’re pretty good given your beef situation. But if you were to remove that beef situation or that beef revenue, you’re probably at a pretty low income over feed cost. But that’s still a highly profitable milk price for a grass-fed system. And a lot of the fixed costs are already being paid off, be it the farmer’s labor the equipment on the farm all of those overheads, they’re already being paid off by a pasture fed system. So, there’s a huge marginal return for that extra liter of milk that comes out of a pasture fed system. If you look at the steps that have occurred in Australia and that are probably starting to come to New Zealand, it is a lot more shared housing in wetter areas, feed pads, dry feed pads. It's certainly not moving to the barn fed system that the States has got. More multiple calvers, if you like, to flatten out that milk curve. A lot more maize silage production, which just stores that little bit better and gives you more dry matter per acre as well. It’s these kind of marginal steps which have occurred a lot in Australia or even in some of our more grass-fed areas, and that are starting to occur in New Zealand. And some of the incentives that are being given, market-wise, in New Zealand to produce that shoulder milk or that additional milk are starting to respond with additional investment on farm. Ted Jacoby III: So, is maybe another way to put it that core pasture-based part of New Zealand dairy farming continues to be very profitable, but any marginal increase in milk production that would come from New Zealand, the cost of that marginal increase is probably the same or more likely probably less than the same marginal increase in milk production in the U.S.? Scott Briggs: Look, I would say that the marginal cost of production out of the States is pretty good. If you think that you’ve already got all the infrastructure paid for and it’s really just an additional growth there. But I think it’s more so the profit margins that sit in a pasture-fed system in New Zealand allow for that investment to try and get that little bit of extra milk as well. So, I wouldn’t say either or are better placed. It’s just that we do have a lot of low-hanging fruit in Oceania, if you like, to start moving into that kind of system. Ted Jacoby III: That makes sense. That makes sense. Mike Brown (2): One thing I think about New Zealand and why the system is the way it has been historically has been your cost of concentrates or grains hasn’t always been as competitive. You lead world price in a lot of cases, and your location makes you very competitive. Your dairymen have more room to pay some of those higher costs for that marginal production. So my question is the strong world price has a fair amount to do, obviously , with everybody’s growth, but in your case when you look at that difference in marginal cost versus that pasture based cost, are you more sensitive to that marginal change in price than maybe some other markets just simply because your feed costs are higher? Scott Briggs: Let’s have a look at world milk prices at the moment. The U.S. at $17 a counterweight, if you like, $16.50, $17 a counterweight. That’s low on your range. On the New Zealand numbers, that’s coming out at a $9.50 dollars per kilo in New Zealand dollars, which is a historically pretty high milk price. So, they do have that ability to just bring in PKE exports. One of the major sources of additional feed or additional milk growth in New Zealand is this palm kernel expeller which comes off of the palm kernel crushing. It’s kinda like soybean meal, if you like that they bring in from Indonesia and other palm kernel or palm crushing countries. Fonterra had placed limits on that for a long period of time because it was affecting the fat composition of the milk. Once they removed those limits, PKE imports went up 20% or 30% almost in one or two years. The last two seasons, New Zealand milk growth has been about 4% or 5% this year, and probably 2% or 3% the year before, so 6 or 7%. Nearly a third to a half of that has come from the additional energy that’s coming in the PKE. So it’s having a huge marginal impact on their growth, and it’s coming at a pretty low cost ’cause it’s a low-cost feed source. So, I think, Mike, going back to your question, they have that ability to grow because there’s such a lot of low-hanging fruit between that grass-fed cost of production, which is already paying for their farm, and the milk price that they’re getting paid, which is actually a marginal cost of production out of the U.S. Mike Brown (2): What kind of world fat price might change their incentive on PKE? We’re seeing a little bit of that here because it’s very expensive here, and people look at their marginal return. It isn’t, of course, near what it was when fat was $2.50. Do you think, depending where that world market settles, will that change the incentive to use PKE? ‘Cause in our case, it’s fat production is the real gain that you get compared to other alternative rations we feed. Scott Briggs: I think it’s seen more as just a bulk source of feed and source of energy- to get the cow up early in the season, Mike, and peak it as high as possible, and then to keep going on the shoulder. It’s a milk solids game rather than a tweak the fat percentage game. At $9.50 they’ll be feeding it. Mike Brown (2): Yes. Scott Briggs: $9.50 a kilo of milk solids they’ll be feeding it. Mike Brown (2): Oh, yes. Yeah. I would be feeding it here, too. Yeah. At that price for sure. Yeah. Ted Jacoby III: My thoughts immediately go to Europe. The U.S. is well-positioned for growth. New Zealand is building off a very profitable base, which insulates them and puts them in a very good position of at least maintaining their position in the global market. Where does that put Europe? Scott Briggs: Europe is an interesting situation where realistically I think that they’re gonna struggle for the main drivers of additional milk production. They seem to be struggling to add any additional land at a reasonable cost, whether it be to the feed base or to the dairy base. That’s obviously being driven by environmental policy, which is very different in Europe than it is say in the U.S. or even Latin America. So I think that they’re gonna struggle at that policy level to be able to keep driving forward. The other thing that does sit within Europe is that we’re only 10 years removed from quota coming off, and so we’re still in that process of losing milk production where we should in the more marginal areas, or from the smaller farms, or from the more marginal land, and trying to drive it into places like Germany or the Netherlands. And so whenever you’ve got a core base of pretty uneconomic sticky milk, it takes a fairly heavy price response to drive change in those farms. So down at the lowish milk prices that we’ve got globally at the moment and I say, I’m happy to debate that point. I think we’re at pretty low milk prices on the range since the end of COVID, particularly with the low feed prices. Where we are at the bottom of the price range, you’re gonna still struggle to get some of these European guys out given the subsidies that they’ve got. But that also means you’re not driving efficiency back into the system. So it feels to me like Europe’s gonna really struggle to meet the global needs and be a quick mover like the States has been. Probably the call-out on that one to me would be Russia. They’ve got probably huge settings if they wanted Russia and the Stans to really grow into dairy production. But it’s not gonna be something that’s being done for the rest of the world. I think it’s gonna be getting done for their part of the world and for China. Ted Jacoby III: Speaking of Eastern Europe, do you think Poland still has a lot of room to grow as well? Scott Briggs: I wouldn’t know the specific micro settings of Poland. It does seem like they are growing pretty well. If you look at the investments that are going into some of the Stans, eventually Ukraine and some of the other parts of the former Eastern Bloc, if you like, it does seem like there’s a lot of investment in Belarus still. It does seem like there’s a lot of investment going in there to help feed parts of the world that longer-term probably aren’t gonna be getting fed by the U.S. Ted Jacoby III: That makes sense to me. With all these different factors, what about China? China’s in a pretty interesting spot from a milk production standpoint. They really increased their milk production three or four years ago, and then more or less stabilized it. Where is their cost of production and where does China go from here? Scott Briggs: Probably the first point to make is that we’ve all learned not to bet against China on dairy production in the last four or five years on milk production in particular. That’s been an incredible rise. And I think the second thing is that lesson to me is then, don’t bet against them and what they might be able to do with the quality of the product, and the investments that they’re making in manufacturing capacity now. There’s a huge push from China to value add, particularly on the protein side, and to then try and drive that down in sales into Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. They’ve obviously got a huge domestic market, but when it comes to starting to grow into things like processed cheese or fat exports or even micellar casein exports and MPC exports, that’s where I think that their next push is gonna be, is trying to move out anything that they don’t need domestically. So it’s not just gonna be bulk whole milk powder, which has been the story of the last two or three years. The structural issue that they’ve got is that their population versus their arable land is just huge. That’s a long-term limiter, if you like, for how much you can push into exports. Ultimately, as their productivity grows and their incomes grow, they’ll be consuming more dairy themselves. The steps that we’ve seen the last four or five years were really about shoring up domestic milk capability so that they weren’t a victim of world markets, and then now they’re trying to value add that milk. They’ve learned the lesson that you don’t grow milk but not grow factories, and they’ve learned the lesson that you don’t grow demand without growing milk. The policy now is, let’s do step changes as productivity rises to drive income rises. I think that they’re gonna be putting a push on certain functional products into Asia But I don’t think that they’re necessarily in a place to be the driver of global milk production because ultimately their cost of production, going back to where you started, Ted, is higher, and it’s structurally higher because of the fact that they just don’t have enough arable land for the population that they’ve got. Ted Jacoby III: But with China doing that and really trying to expand into value add and even trying to export, I gotta believe that’s causing Fonterra and the other New Zealand exporters to really shift their export strategy. What’s happening there? Scott Briggs: When you look at Fonterra, their stated strategy is to basically be a skim protein and fat company. They have recognized that the days of whole milk powder are limited. China went through a period where they went from 500,000 tons of imports pre-COVID to 800,000, and now they’re back down to 500,000 again. They’ve really gone through that boom and during that period, Fonterra’s basically said, “We need to move out of whole milk powder and move back into being a skim and fat company.” And when I say a skim and fat company, a skim protein and fat company. And so, we have seen them push 50 to 70,000 tons more skim into Southeast Asia. But what they’re now starting to do is to value add that skim, similar to what the U.S. is doing: putting on more ultrafiltration in front of dryers, ’cause that’s the highest marginal investment that you can do. Starting to do more MPCs, starting to do more value add on the fat side, as well. There’s been some huge investments in UHT cream which are gonna be going ahead or have already gone ahead and are being launched for this year, which draws fat away from butter and AMF. Overall, their stated strategy is to be a nutrition and food service company. Nutrition: protein-heavy products. Food service: fat-heavy products. And so they’re moving away from that whole milk powder. I think that the next stage for them is to try and drive those two sorts of products into Southeast Asia. Because China itself is already quite a big market for those sorts of products and is probably screaming out for, “How do we not use WPC and WPI?” ‘Cause that’s the highest priced protein in the world right now. So how do we move away from that? I think they’re also trying to help Southeast Asia grow protein as a category. Ted Jacoby III: But based on what you said of China’s strategy, it almost sounds like it means China and New Zealand are going head-to-head in that market in Southeast Asia. Scott Briggs: Yeah. Yeah. I think- And- And look, that’s a 5 to 10-year view. We’re already seeing traditional Fonterra markets or New Zealand markets, Open Country Dairy’s obviously nearly 20% of the market down there now, as well, and are making their own steps towards value-adding fat. So that’s always one to keep in mind. We’re certainly seeing a competition of powder flows and functional product flows from China, including fat, laminated fat, pastry butter, those sorts of things, coming into Southeast Asian markets that were traditionally New Zealand-dominated markets. Diego Carvallo: Going back to China’s milk production, a lot of rumors about a disease in the northwest of China hand, foot, and mouth. Very little information. We have several customers that have asked about it. Without going down the rabbit hole, is there any update in that regards? Scott Briggs: Super important if it were to be a big story. I think that the likelihood of it being a massive story is low at the moment from what I’ve seen at least. The key thing to watch for me in China is always the spot milk price. They’ve got a fantastic not that it’s particularly visible, but they do have a huge trade of liquid milk market between different zones and between companies in specific zones. It’s a little bit like your plus/minus to the Class III. So that spot milk price to me is always the one which tells you: are they having any problems? And it does seem to me like the containment strategy was quite effective early on. Lock down the zones, stop the movement of the cattle. So yeah, it doesn’t look like it, but, it’s a bit of a black box. Diego Carvallo: So, we don’t expect a long-term impact to their production as of right now? Scott Briggs: Not at this stage, but that could change tomorrow. Ted Jacoby III: Everybody, we will be right back after these messages. Diego Carvallo: I’m Diego Carballo with T.C. Jacoby & Co.. T.C. Jacoby & Co. specializes in international dairy markets. For new customers that haven’t done business with Jacoby, I would tell them that we can provide them with many of the powders, dairy products that they consume, not only with the physical product, but we can also help them mitigate their risk. We know dairy. We know the main players. We know the main providers for the whole value chain. We are one of the strongest players in the U.S. market because we have contact all the way from the farmer moving the liquid milk all the way to the end users that buy the end products. I am Diego Carballo with T.C. Jacoby & Co., and we bring dairy to the world. Ted Jacoby III: Josh, I’m gonna put you on the spot. Is the U.S. gonna continue to increase our exports? And if so, who do we increase those exports at the expense of? How is that gonna play out? Josh White: Yes. We’re going to absolutely continue to increase our exports. The most obvious area is where there’s gonna be a need, and that’s fat, at the moment. It’s pretty well-noted that we’ve invested heavily in cheese production, boy, if those new cheese process facilities are running at the moment, they’re happy to have a co-product in whey proteins. Things are looking pretty good at the moment. As a result of that, we’re assuming that anybody who can produce cheese or process cheese is trying to process just as much as they possibly can. As a result of that, it seems pretty eminent that the U.S. will continue to have available cheese for the global consumer. Now we’ll take a look at the protein side. One of the expected results of this protein movement in the U.S., and now again, I wanna clarify this movement because I think there’s a lot of chatter about GLP-1 being the main driver, and I would almost view that as just a catalyst and a reason why the U.S. market might be leading in protein consumption. ‘Cause if you look around the world, this is a health and wellness trend that is not exclusive to the United States, not exclusive to Europe. It’s happening everywhere. We receive inquiries from all over the world, including import regions, for protein. Given the limitation on whey protein availability, one would assume that we’re gonna see quite a migration to milk proteins, and Scott did a great job of alluding to that earlier. We’re finding different ways of concentrating protein and delivering it to the consumer. The result of that, fat’s going to come along with it. I’ve listened to Gus, Mike and the team talk fairly openly about the incredible improvements in components over the past several years from the U.S. dairymen. Scott alluded to component growth in other parts of the world as well. We’re going to have surplus fat, and there’s going to be extra fat beyond what the U.S. consumer can take in, and as a result of that, we’re going to be hungry to capture market share in the global market. Now, you ask, “At whose expense?” And that’s a loaded question in some ways because I think there’s two things going on. I also think fat consumption globally is increasing, maybe not at the rate protein is and maybe not as popular right now, but if you look, ever since the early 2000s when we made this paradigm shift in the U.S. to moving away from the old food pyramid model and moving into this clean label, healthy consumable products, fat no longer was the enemy, and it seems like ever since that happened, the world has also agreed, and we’ve continued to see more clean label dairy fat being consumed per capita globally. So, two things will happen. One is the U.S., we’re in position to grow our milk production more quickly than anywhere else in the world. We have the infrastructure, currently, we have the economics to do that, and we might outpace that fat consumption growth globally. Which means then, yes, we will have to capture some market share. And from who? It, it’s either going to be Europe or Oceania, and I think that’s a seasonal thing. I don’t know that I would point to either single market as being the loser in that, other than that the dairy support and economic situation and the outlook for dairy growth in Europe seems to have more headwinds than the rest of the world. One would assume that they’re a bit more vulnerable, right now, to the U.S. capturing market share. Ted Jacoby III: Joe, what about fat? Joe Maixner: Josh summed it up pretty clearly. We’re going to have to continue to be a net exporter of fat. We’re gonna continue to add fat into our system with all of these high protein demand and these components that just continue to creep higher and higher. We’re not going to consume everything that we can supply. We will have to be a net exporter of fat moving forward until either the supply structurally shifts or we find a different way to utilize it. I agree with Josh and Scott that it’s going to be seasonal dependent on whose expense it comes at because I think that our fat market, our butter market specifically, is going the direction that cheese has gone over the past 15 years, where it becomes almost a cyclical market. We’ll be really competitive, we’ll get a lot of exports on the books, we’ll clean up our inventories, and then our pricing will spike, we will not be competitive on exports for a while, which will develop this surplus of domestic inventory and force us to depress pricing again and go back into the export markets. Josh White: We have a U.S. bias obviously, as we’re looking at the world. The one limitation to U.S. capturing fat market share is the reputation of U.S. fat being quite a bit different. Our commodity butter is an 80% salted butter. Our packaging is different. The visual appearance of our product is different. The flavor profile of our product is a bit different. Up until now, the opportunity for us to capture market share has happened largely in the processing sector as an ingredient to make something else. As of late, we’re starting to realize a little bit more of a win in, say, food service applications in developing markets and other things. From your perspective, how close is the U.S. to penetrating into the food service or retail business in import regions for butterfat? Scott Briggs: Yeah. It’s a good question. I think there’s two parts to that answer. The first is that you break down trade barriers slowly, but it happens. It’s been happening since the start of trade, right?  You know, I do think that there’s the ability to continue educating the consumer to get them comfortable with the product, the appearance of the product. I think I said that to Joe once: U.S. butter, it’s not terrible. It’s a great tagline. But I’m not a marketing guy. It will continue to gain acceptance, I think, Josh. I think the second thing to recognize is that with Fonterra, so New Zealand, trying to put so much fat into food service applications, I think for the point of educating, as you say, what does that mean in Asia and China? It’s not necessarily just butter. UHT cream is just this massive category which keeps on growing in Asia. Asia’s not this singular thing. Like they’re all sub-markets. But as a generalization, bakery is huge through a lot of Southeast Asia China itself. If you travel there, it’s cakes, it’s pastries, it’s a hell of a lot of really nice product. It’s seen as a luxury good if you like and through the supermarkets and convenience stores and everything like that. That’s a huge sector which needs a more functional application. There’s a lot of growth in there. That’s actually leaving behind ingredient markets for U.S. fat, whether that be in Australia or whether that be into Southeast Asia or the Middle East. So that is actually to me, probably the lowest hanging fruit, and it’s what you’ve already seen. So it’s not like you need to necessarily change the spec immediately to go for these applications. It can be just as easily going for what’s been left behind by New Zealand. Just one point that I’d make about whose market share is the U.S. gonna take on certain products? The European milk growth in late last year really does mask the fact that we probably still need U.S. butterfat exports to balance the world market. If you were to take the 100,000 excess tons that Europe made in the second half of last year out of the market, say that was unsustainable milk growth for a period of time, once we eat through that stock, we’ve taken a lot of the U.S. growth, if you like. We’ve absorbed a lot of that growth in what you’ve made, and we needed it. So I do think that we’re going through a process of still eating through those European stocks overall, and that glut that we had, which was driven by two years of fantastically high milk prices. But once we get through that, the global consumer is buying $5,000 butter, and they’re buying $3,000 skim. And that is a price level that’s comfortable in a lot of the world. Mideast is obviously going through a few lumps right now, so we may have some problems on demand in the next six months. But once we get through that and, hopefully the conflict there is over and they return to some kind of growth, we do get to a position where we probably need U.S. fat in the world market. Mike, you made the comment about how well the U.S. farmer is now not feeding for fat, and it does seem like some of that fat component growth at least is slowing. Do you see responsiveness to fat prices significantly, and how can that change the U.S. fat balance of being a reliable or necessary exporter? Mike Brown (2): As far as producer decisions, I’ve had some conversations, particularly with cheese plants, who are seeing some changes and talking with their producers. And some are making some adjustment to ration changing sources, and what those sources are finding is what we’re seeing in the milk supply, protein remains relatively strong and still grows. Fat has slowed down a bit, and most of it is PKE. That seems to be the change. Talking with producers, I had a good conversation, actually, last fall with a very high producing Jersey herd who said that if fat gets below about $1.70, it doesn’t really make sense for him to feed PKE anymore because he isn’t getting enough return from it. I think there’s probably some doing that. Is it broad? I think when the U.S. cows are milking so well, they’re reluctant to make a lot of ration changes that might slow things down. But we’re seeing somewhat on the margin. Will it solve the problem? No, because it’s genetics. It’s the genomics, our selection for fat. There’s so much variability in fat genetics within cattle, particularly Holsteins, that they’ve been able to make huge progress, and of course that’s permanent. So I expect that fat will continue to stay high. So, will we see some moderate fluctuations from time to time? Sure. That market will, I think, have some effect, particularly since they’ve gotten so high. Will our trend change? No. We’ll continue to improve in fat and in protein with time just because genetic selection in the U.S., particularly with sexed semen and genomics, has just gotten so intense that I don’t see that changing. The rate of gain will slow because the base population is higher versus the sires that are being used, but that will continue. We may slow down. We’re not gonna turn around and go the other way. Ted Jacoby III: Awesome. Thanks, Mike. Jacob Menge: I was gonna stir the pot a bit and almost take the other side by saying I have a degree in economics, so I succumb to liking to pretend that free trade is how everything works in the world. And it doesn’t. And I think we’re pretty clearly going down this path of almost a bifurcated world of trade relationships. And I really think it would be a mistake to ignore that moving forward, especially with Russia potentially being able to supply China in the future. We’re almost taking for granted that everyone is gonna buy from the most efficient producer in the world, and we’re really going into this kind of tumultuous geopolitical landscape that it feels like we’re probably ignoring. I don’t think that changes the fact that the U.S. is still gonna have to export. We’re producing more than we’re gonna consume. We’re not gonna let the product rot. We’re probably not gonna shut down all these nice facilities we just built. But it does make me question what price we are going to be getting when we go to export the products. What happens to the basis on those export sales? There’s a big geopolitical issue when it comes to a lot of the analysis we’ve just been doing. Scott Briggs: How much of the cake is baked? How much growth are we guaranteed to see on U.S. milk supply in the next two to three years, and cheese supply, just as a function of these investments that have already been made? How much of the world trade has already bifurcated? China’s getting it from New Zealand. Okay, that could break. I could see that breaking. I could see the Middle East possibly breaking, like you’re already seeing Iran getting certain product from Belarus or you already seen China get part of it. So there could be massive breakages in there, you’re right. The challenge is if we were to stop trading between Russia, the ‘Stans, and China, if that became one zone and we all became the other zone, like the two biggest linkages are the Middle East and New Zealand, and you probably do flood the market if you were to stop that. Who would get hurt in that scenario? It’s probably Europe. It’s Gonna be a race to the bottom to try and kill some of the highest cost milk production. Yeah, how much of the cake is baked? Ted Jacoby III: I would say it is pretty baked. But I think of it more in terms of between the current trends we’re seeing and how sticky we suspect they are from a breeding-to-beef standpoint, specifically cattle supply, beef cattle supply, and being able to continue to supply the beef market with beef, I think we’re gonna continue to see some really good returns to dairy farmers breeding to beef, which means they are going to resist and be pretty resistant even when the milk price is low to reducing the number of cows in the U.S. That’s number one. That puts in a really hard floor. In addition to that, those dairy farmers, especially the really big ones, are making really good money when you add the beef income on top of the milk income, and they’re looking to continue to expand as a result. So, in terms of the capacity that’s already added, they’re gonna fill it up. In terms of the additional capacity, which, let’s just put it this way: Over the last two to three years, we’ve had a lot of new capacity. Over the next couple of years, we will continue to have additional capacity added, but at a lower rate than what we just saw, but it’s all gonna get filled up. I don’t think we’re gonna have a problem over the next three to five years filling the capacity that we build because I think that the income situation for the dairy farmer in the U.S., it’s just in a really good spot. Even if you take, what’s our worst-case scenario from a milk revenue standpoint? Whey protein prices collapse. We produce so much milk that butter prices stay low, nonfat prices stay low, cheese prices stay low. All that means is we’re just gonna be that much more competitive in the global market, and I think our overproduction is probably gonna hurt Europe more than it’s actually gonna hurt the U.S. Josh White: I’ll just maybe add to it that, the most obvious way that the U.S. has invested is to add a lot of cheese processing capacity over the past few years, massive investments. People are well aware of it. But the aggregate of all of the incremental expansions and all of that has been really significant as well. It feels almost imminent right now that we were already investing in dairy growth before the beef on farm income reached a level that it’s at today, and it just doesn’t feel like that’s going to change any time in the near future. And as a result of that, it only maintains or accelerates that desire to make more milk. We were having conversations 24 months ago about how would we have the heifers to grow the herd? How would we do this? We found a way to grow the herd. The component growth outperformed expectations, and it’s only been more consistently profitable because the revenue stream’s been spread across more things. So we’re gonna have milk, and if we’re gonna have milk, we’re going to figure out a way to process that milk. And so far, there must have been some really good foresight to do that and build all of this cheese processing capacity to absorb it up till now, and we’ve got a little runway left to continue to fill them up. But there’s conversations at every major place about how do we extend our put-through and extend our yield by shipping more condensed skim, by processing more UF milk products, by… I can go on and on. I don’t know if it’s exactly what you were asking, but are we done in investing in our ability to process more milk? I don’t believe so. The next move had to have already been thought about and has to be under construction. We’re years out from the one after that. I think there’s plenty that are thinking about the next move. Mike Brown (2): It’s kinda like the beef has created this amazing revenue stream for dairy producers in the U.S., and our use of sexed semen and beef selection has just improved that. Same with whey proteins and plant profitability. With these very high whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate prices, even at a 70-cent whey market, your margins on your whey proteins are very high, which gives those plants a little more room to grow. But I think the other part is: we’ve always talked about growth in cheese, the milk proteins are growing, too, and as whey protein prices get higher, manufacturers and product developers are figuring out ways to use lower-priced dairy protein alternatives, and that market’s gonna grow as well. How much milk do we have left to dry into whey? How much milk are we gonna have left to dry into powder if those markets continue to grow? We don’t think they’re done yet. We think that growth is there. Will these prices stay where they are forever? Probably not, but the demand seems to be continuing to grow. Part of it isn’t will we grow our plants, it’s also what will we be making in those plants? Are we gonna be making more focus on other protein products than just cheese? Ted Jacoby III: I think one of the most ironic things about milk production in the U.S. right now is the fact that the biggest danger, the thing that would hurt the dairy farmer the most right now, is actually not milk cost. It’s beef price. What would happen if the beef price collapses to the point where breeding the beef is no longer profitable? We’re going to double the amount of dairy heifers we start producing. You know how that plays out? That plays out by, right now the number of lactations out of a cow has gone from two to three to four, which is decreasing the rate of increase of the components in the milk because you’re turning over a smaller percentage of your herd every year. All you’re gonna do is speed that up. So maybe our milk production plateaus or even drops a little bit, but the components in the milk increase will speed up as a result. You’ve got the U.S. dairy industry now in a position where even the worst-case scenario continues to be a threat for Europe or the rest of the world from a milk supply standpoint. Mike Brown (2): We look at the percentage of milk in the U.S. that is now produced by these extremely efficient, very well-managed, very well-leveraged herds, and so our susceptibility is less. It’s kinda like we’re going through a heat wave right now, Scott, and everybody says, “What’s that gonna do to milk?” A whole lot less than it used to because of the controlled environments of our modern barns. We’ve done a lot and kinda like I think in a lot of industries, we’ve had some good profitability, people have made investments for the long term. And when you make big investments for the long term, you don’t usually turn around. You’re committed to being in the business. I think the biggest thing for us, in my mind, is for years we’ve been looking at the whey and dry milk markets, exports are a huge part of those sales. Cheese is growing, and we’ve reached a point with cheese where those export sales are becoming more and more important, and so how do we sustain them over time? What do we need to do? I think a good example, Joe’s been working a lot with our opportunities in butter over the last few years and working with folks that we work with and what do I need to make to take best advantage of those export markets? We’ll continue to do that as well. We’re just thinking a lot more world demand than just, “I need to make a 40-pound block of cheddar and who will buy it?” We’re trying to think a little harder than that now. Scott Briggs: Mike, you touched on if we’d had the milk production growth that we’ve had in the last two years 10 years ago, we would’ve wiped out certain pieces of milk production around the world. The market would not have absorbed that level of additional product. Now, we certainly had a period in October, November, December last year, where things got uneconomic in certain part of the world, and we didn’t last. Because ultimately, the demand shone through and, having listened to the podcast, protein demand and that protein story is a huge part of that in the States. That, to me, is a trend that’s really only beginning around a lot of the other parts of the world. It can go underestimated from your side of the world. You guys are the vanguard in that. You’re the leaders in it. You’ve got the category. China’s got a great category in this area and is making some huge investments in it. But, we’ve just seen here in Australia and in Southeast Asia some massive investments from European companies into cottage cheese, into ready-to-drink categories with the principal idea of exporting them to Asia. And, that growth model into developing markets is always put a high price product in there that’s branded from a developed market, and then grow the category with the local champion. You get an imported product, it looks sexy and it looks great, and it’s like a luxury product, and then you grow the category by producing a lower price point product to try and then get the local population really going for it. And so that’s just started. The other thing that’s really hot in different parts of Asia is, funnily enough, processed cheese for food service. It’s a really quickly growing category. It’s a category that gets a lot of interest. We’ve spent a lot of time on the point of does the U.S. have a competitive advantage for supply, in this kind of changing world. I think one of the biggest pieces of competitive advantage that the States has is its ability to grow an export pathway. It’s a mindset; it’s a trade infrastructure, as well, with government relations and everything like that allows you to grow into world markets in a way that probably a lot of other places don’t have. If we’ve got a growing demand, and I made this point before, we might see a few lumps here, mainly because of the Middle East, right? The Middle East looks a little bit overbought, looks a little bit quiet. Southeast Asia’s having a few little hiccups with changes in Indonesia and some of their currency devaluation, like these sort of short-term issues. But longer term, it’s very comfortable for a Southeast Asian consumer buying $2,800 to $3,200 skim and $5,000 butter. These are price points that work now, which never worked before, that’s the growth price point now. I do think that we’re going to have a situation where the world market is gonna be the next engine for some of the growth in protein demand and fat demand as well. Tristan Suellentrop: Scott, being based in Australia, I’d be interested to hear your perspective on the potential super El Niño that was confirmed this week. How does that factor into your outlook for dairy production in Oceania over the next year or two? And how concerned should producers in Australia and New Zealand be if it develops as forecasted? Scott Briggs: So it’s a very detailed topic. The El Niño indicator that everybody looks at is the Southern Oscillation Index, which is screaming El Niño at the moment. The reality is that what impacts Australia and New Zealand is not just the El Niño. It can be a major impact, but we’ve also had years where it has had no impact, and probably even at a similar level of El Niño indicator. And the reason for that is the El Niño obviously talks about what’s happening out in between South America and Asia, so that pressure, but our weather system, particularly in our dairy regions, is just as impacted by how much moisture is exiting Antarctica and moving north, into the southern parts of Australia, which are our heavy dairy regions, and also into New Zealand. The other weather system that impacts our dairy production during spring and our moisture levels is how much tropical cyclone activity is actually exiting the Pacific Islands and moving down into the North Island of New Zealand, which really doesn’t have a lot to do with El Niño either. The key point is that, right now El Niño, yeah, it’s a real phenomenon, but it’s not the only thing that’s gonna impact Oceania. when you look back at the history, which we have, some years it’s a really important thing, and other years you can have a fantastic spring in what seems to be an El Niño year. The other point that I’d make is that we have fantastic moisture right now. We’re getting huge rainfalls through Australia particularly, but also in New Zealand, which are really recharging things over winter. Economics would also mean that we’ve all got a fair bit of silage buffered away from the last 12 months of good weather. So I don’t think, at this stage, we’re seeing anything that’s like a huge impact on Oceanic dairy, but it’s very early. The thing that we’re all gonna need to watch out for is how much does it rain, particularly in New Zealand in December. New Zealand in December, January, that’s really when we have to start looking at what might happen. Ted Jacoby III: Cool. All right. Scott, this was a fantastic discussion. Thank you so much for joining us. Really appreciate your insight and your expertise in what’s going on the other side of the pond. Thank you.  Thank you. Lockhart, thank you very much. Cheers, guys. Next time on The Milk Check. Will Loux: The U.S. exports as we go forward here over the next few years is at a crossroad. Do we swing back to balancing to milk fat, which would mean we’re probably short of protein? Or do we start balancing to protein, which means we’re gonna need to find homes for a heck of a lot more cheese and butter. Ted Jacoby III: Join us and our special guest, Will Loux from the U.S. Dairy Export Council as we discuss the future of U.S. dairy exports. Ending commercial: The best part of my job is working directly with cheesemakers and helping their businesses run better because they make wonderful, great products. Anything we can do to make them more successful not only helps them, but helps Jacoby. We look at how milk flows through their plant, what their real cost of products are, so when they’re making marketing decisions, making new investments, particularly on whey processing, they have a benchmark to use to determine what opportunities they have and what the returns would be. Whey has become so valuable with these high-protein markets. There’s added value that they can get by just condensing it, and maybe moving further down the supply chain in the longer term, making products themselves. My role is to help them cost that so they have a better understanding of what the opportunities can be. Longer term, we expect the whey protein market to remain very valuable. For one part of the supply chain to be successful, everyone has to be, and part of my role is trying to help people be as competitive as they can possibly be. My superpower is practical application of data and analysis. I believe firmly that Jacoby’s success is because we help our suppliers and our buyers be successful. I’m Mike Brown, and I love working for T.C. Jacoby & Co. because I get to help people make their businesses more successful.

Stewart Alsop sits down with investor and entrepreneur Adnan Hassan on the Crazy Wisdom Podcast to explore his thesis on creating a small state asset class, using evolutionary insights from asteroids, dinosaurs, and mycelium as a framework for understanding resilient systems. Hassan brings his background in Silicon Valley technology, New York and Washington finance, and sovereign funds—including senior leadership roles at the World Bank—to explain why 162 of the world's 200 states are actually small states with populations under 12 million, and why these distributed, autonomous entities might be best positioned to survive the coming global shocks from AI, currency disruption, and the wobbling international order. For more information about Hassan's work, visit www.sac-holding.com (SAC stands for Small State Asset Class), where you can find two-minute videos explaining his approach to building this new financial architecture.Timestamps00:00 Introduction and the asteroid, dinosaur, mycelium thesis as a framework for understanding evolutionary survival patterns across billions of years05:00 Global order institutions are wobbling while currency systems evolve and AI emerges, creating simultaneous shocks that favor adaptable networked systems over large centralized structures10:00 Small states defined as populations under 12 million represent 162 of 200 global economies, contradicting assumptions that most nations are large centralized powers15:00 States behave as selfish entities seeking regulatory control while individuals seek autonomy, creating tension as the Westphalian system undergoes fundamental transformation20:00 Cooperation versus competition in human systems, examining how KYC requirements and state surveillance are expanding globally including in America and Argentina25:00 Small states are most interested in rule-based global order because they need protection from larger powers, unlike powerful nations that prefer unconstrained action30:00 Of the twenty richest countries by per capita GDP, seventeen are small states, yet no small state asset class exists in financial markets35:00 Uncorrelated assets provide diversification protection for investors, while small states offer geographic distribution across Caribbean, Africa, Europe, Gulf, and Pacific regions40:00 Cross-border family business collaboration between small states will increase, leading to knowledge sharing and a proposed Davos for small states event45:00 The individual sits at the core of this framework, with AI enabling creative minds in small places to access world-class resources previously impossible50:00 Demonstration of accessible technology costing only ten dollars shows how AI removes barriers, allowing creativity to become the distinguishing factor for entrepreneurs globallyKey Insights1. Adnan Hassan presents a thesis grounded in billions of years of evolutionary data, arguing that systems which survive major shocks share common characteristics: they are autonomous, networked, cooperative, resilient, and lack single points of failure. He uses the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs as his central metaphor, noting that while massive dinosaurs went extinct, smaller organisms like mycelium, ants, bees, and marsupials survived because of their distributed and adaptable nature. Hassan believes we are currently experiencing a similar asteroid-level shock to our global systems through the simultaneous disruption of the rule-based global order, currency systems, and artificial intelligence, all happening at once over the next three to five years.2. Hassan identifies 162 out of 200 global states and economies as small states, defined as having populations under 12 million people. This number surprises most people, including sophisticated observers who typically guess around 60 or 70. Even more striking, 17 of the 20 richest countries by per capita GDP are small states, representing 85 percent of the wealthiest nations. These small states have disproportionate resources to deploy internationally and the greatest interest in maintaining a rule-based global order since they have the most to lose from chaos and cannot rely on size or military power for protection.3. The current global institutional framework established after World War Two, including the UN, IMF, World Bank, and WTO, is fundamentally wobbling and reaching the end of an era. Hassan argues that states are inherently selfish creatures addicted to regulatory sovereignty and control, but the systems designed to give these states structure and credibility are now failing. This represents the first major restructuring of the global order since the post-World War Two period, which itself followed 400 years of colonial systems. The transition period will be characterized by significant chaos and convulsions throughout the global system.4. Hassan advocates for creating a new small states asset class in financial markets, which does not currently exist despite small states representing the majority of countries and the wealthiest per capita economies. This asset class would provide large institutional investors like pension funds and sovereign wealth funds with globally diversified, potentially uncorrelated assets while simultaneously supporting political and economic structures that embody the evolutionary principles of survival through distributed, autonomous, networked cooperation. The small states asset class represents both sound evolutionary strategy and pragmatic investment opportunity.5. Technology without philosophy is efficiency without purpose, a concern Hassan raised as early as 1994 when he helped prototype the first electronic trading market on the internet. He witnessed the naive optimism of Silicon Valley technologists who believed simply throwing tools over the wall would create a better world, but this approach made both good and bad activities more efficient. Social media demonstrated this danger by efficiently creating disruption and loss of trust in political systems. Hassan warns that the same mistake is being made with AI, where powerful tools are being deployed without adequate philosophical framework or consideration of consequences.6. Small states and their leading families will find more common language and shared understanding with each other across geographic boundaries than with larger neighboring states. A family business in Montevideo has an easier conversation with counterparts in Singapore or New Zealand than with businesses in Sao Paulo because small state actors recognize each other's unique realities and circumstances. Hassan plans to create a Davos for small states in 2027 to facilitate this knowledge sharing among the mycelium colony, allowing different nodes to exchange innovations and strategies across the distributed global network of small state actors.7. The optimistic future involves unleashing individual creativity globally by giving people access to AI-enabled tools that provide world-class legal, financial, and consulting advice in their language of choice. The solopreneur can now become a conglomerate, with individuals no longer constrained by lack of access to execution machinery. Hassan envisions young people in places like Gabon, Swaziland, or Uruguay having the same access to sophisticated business infrastructure as those in traditional power centers, with the distinguishing factor being creativity of mind rather than geographic or institutional privilege. Small states can pivot faster on regulatory frameworks, sometimes achieving in a dinner meeting what takes large states three years of legislative, executive, and judicial wrangling.

Payments don't fail as an abstract metric. They fail for a freelancer waiting to get paid, a small business trying to accept the locally normal method, or a customer who gets told “we don't support how you pay.” That's why our conversation with Clarice Lehman, Alternative Payments Operations Lead at DLocal, keeps landing on one theme: the future of payments has to stay human, even as the industry gets more automated, embedded, and AI-driven. We start with Clarice's journey from Uruguay to fintech, including a pivotal dinner-party moment that redirected her MBA path to MIT, followed by consulting at BCG, and a return to DLocal to lead strategy and operations across alternative payment methods. We unpack what “APMs” really include (instant payments, wallets, cash-based options, BNPL operations, card-present initiatives, and crypto operations) and why delivering a consistent cross-border payments experience is hard when every market's infrastructure looks different underneath. Then we get practical about leadership and trust: why smarter systems can't mean more exclusion, what transparency should look like when AI makes decisions, and why reliability and accountability are non-negotiable when downtime or a wrong decline hits. Clarice also shares the trend she's most excited about: AI-driven credit and underwriting using alternative data, and how that can expand access to capital for consumers and SMBs that traditional credit bureaus overlook. If you care about emerging markets, payments strategy, fintech leadership, and building products that actually include people, this one is for you. 

The high-heel flip flop trend, Chanel's demi-shoes and Louboutin's viral “Banana Peel” heels means that our feet and nails are commanding a LOT of attention these days.

Those details sound small until you hear what they represent: the moment a returning missionary realizes he is not the same person who left. We're joined by Dallin Hester, fresh home from the Uruguay Montevideo West mission, and we walk through the homecoming journey, the love waiting at the airport, and the strange shock of re-entering American life after two years of simpler routines. From there, we get into the real work. Dallin breaks down what Uruguay mission life actually feels like, from milanesa dinners and member meals to days when you're clapping doors and nobody wants the message. He opens up about learning Spanish when you feel behind everyone else, why the language rarely “clicks” all at once, and how obedience and tiny wins stack into confidence. We also talk about two very different mission presidents, mate culture, and why a slower pace of life can change how you see time, people, and priorities. The heart of the conversation is spiritual growth that lasts past the badge. We dig into building a personal testimony of Jesus Christ, learning to pray and listen, and redefining success when the numbers are quiet. Dallin shares what surprised him most about coming home, why he chose to delete social media, and how he wants to keep serving without the title. If you're preparing for a mission or supporting someone who is, you'll get practical guidance like reading Preach My Gospel and nurturing the seeds you plant. Subscribe for more real faith conversations, share this with someone getting ready to serve, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
