The Ag Tribes Report features returning guest Zack Smith (@zebulousprime), an innovative Iowa farmer known for his Stock Cropper system and sustainable farming advocacy. The episode covers three major agricultural news stories:US-UK Beef Trade Deal: A new agreement eliminates UK tariffs on American beef that meets their strict standards, opening a significant export market but potentially straining US cattle herds already at 73-year lows.Dr. Casey Means' Surgeon General Nomination: Trump's nomination of this functional medicine advocate and vocal glyphosate critic could influence public perception of conventional agriculture despite the position's limited direct control over ag policy.AI in Agriculture: We'll discuss the farming community's reaction to Vance's recent podcast demonstrating how advanced AI is transforming agricultural work, exploring whether these technologies help small operations or widen existing gaps.The Bitcoin Land Price Report highlights how Bitcoin's 77% value increase since August 2024 has changed farm economics in Winnebago County, Iowa, where 1 BTC now buys approximately 8.1 acres compared to 4.5 acres last summer.As always, the episode will include Zack's Peter Thiel Paradox (a controversial belief most farmers disagree with) and his Worthy Adversary.Legacy Interviews - A service that records individuals and couples telling their life stories so that future generations can know their family history. https://www.legacyinterviews.com/experienceRiver.com - Invest in Bitcoin with Confidence https://river.com/signup?r=OAB5SKTPhttps://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-vance-crowe-podcast_638721156549613591/atr-uk-bends-the-knee-and-potential-surgeon-general-hates-glyphosate-with-zebulousprime

Emily Klonicki has good news for newborns in Winnebago County.
Andrew Miller began his long law career in 1894, opening a private practice in Buffalo Center, Iowa. He served as county attorney for Winnebago County and was elected mayor of Forest City, Iowa, in 1897, serving one term. After a failed bid for a seat in the Iowa state legislature, he moved to Bismarck in 1905 and opened a private practice.
Today's show opens with someone we discussed just about a year ago who was alleged to be spying for Iran – Ariane Tabatabai. For some reason, she is still around and is now embroiled in another possible leak of Israel attack plans to Iran. But, as my good friend Wendy Patterson reminds us, there are many other Iranian sympathizers in the current White House, many of who were initially hired during the Barack Obama regime. One of those is Maher Bitar, who is not only a Palestinian sympathizer, but also a former member of UNRWA. Nathan Wade, former attorney on the big Fani Willis RICO case in Georgia against Donald Trump and 18 others was in Washington, D.C. last week to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. The transcripts were just released and it looks like he confirmed what we've all known since November 18, 2022 – that the White House was colluding and coordinating all of the lawfare attacks. Our trust in Legacy/mainstream media has been falling to all-time lows for Republicans and Independents, while hovering at around 54% for Democrats. But, just like with the one debate, the Harris-Walz campaign is aware that Independents keep siding with Republicans. Maria Shriver let us all know that all of the questions at the recent “town hall” were all predetermined, thus Harris had her pre-memorized answers ready to go. Unfortunately, the answers are all sounding repetitive and contrived now that she has been forced into the public eye. Turns out, Harris didn't just plagiarize sections of her 2009 book. Aaron Sibarium with the Washington Free Beacon discovered she stole whole speeches from DA Paul Logli of Winnebago County, IL and used them as her own words when testifying before the House Judiciary Committee in April of 2007. Just about everything about her is manufactured and fake. Tulsi Gabbard just reminded all of us that in 2019 she warned the American people about Harris. Specifically, Gabbard is worried she will use the military to prove how tough she is in order to overcome her own insecurities. While on the topic of the military, we have more about Tim “Stolen Valor” Walz. An intrepid former paratrooper noticed Tim sporting the Expert badge on his uniform. However, there is no indication on his DD-214 that he ever qualified for the lowest rifle competency score, let alone the highest. Yet another lie from Tim Walz. Norah O'Donnell gave us a wonderful example of how the Legacy/mainstream media really is the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party. See if you can hear the subtle differences in how she discusses both campaigns. Finally, I tell a story of Donald Trump shooting a commercial back in 2009, well before running for office. Regardless of what you think of his personality, he is genuine and real. That's a lot more than you can say about Harris.

rWotD Episode 2714: 1848 United States presidential election in Wisconsin Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 8 October 2024 is 1848 United States presidential election in Wisconsin.The 1848 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 7, 1848, as part of the 1848 United States presidential election. It was the first presidential election held in Wisconsin since its admission to the Union on May 29, earlier the same year. Democratic candidate Lewis Cass won the state with 38% of the vote, carrying the state's 4 electoral votes.With 26.41% of the popular vote, Wisconsin would prove to be Van Buren's third strongest state after Vermont and Massachusetts.The 1848 election began a trend in Wisconsin where the state would vote the same as neighboring Iowa, as the two states have voted in lockstep with each other on all but 6 occasions - 1892, 1924, 1940, 1976, 2004, and 2020. This was the last time until 1988 that Wisconsin would back a losing Democrat in a presidential election.Participating in its first presidential election, Portage County would ultimately be carried by the statewide winner in every election until 1916. Meanwhile, Winnebago County would not vote for the statewide loser again until 1924.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:15 UTC on Tuesday, 8 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see 1848 United States presidential election in Wisconsin on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ruth.
Send us a text Slam the Gavel welcomes Ronda Gonzalez Atkins to the podcast. We discussed Kia Walker's podcast (Season 5, Episodes 77 and 112) and how similar the treatment of Kia was to others in Winnebago County, Rockford, IL. We discussed Sheriff Stephen Schumaker's behaviors entangled in eight different Civil Suits. Why is this behavior allowed to continue? In 2023, an officer shot a father 12 times with his 8 year-old son present in the house. Ronda discussed the conditions of the Winnebago County jail. Also there was a usage of a logo of a skull called, "The Punisher," by the Tactical Team for Drug and Gang Crime. When the ACLU became involved in 2017 that logo was removed. Now, The Rockford Police Department is under the command of Chief Carla Redd. Chief Redd served 23 years, beginning as a patrol officer until becoming Chief in 2021. She is cleaning up the police department, finding body-cam footage and holding those responsible for wrongdoing, while weeding out the troublemakers. We also discussed the officers with exemplary records, there are still good officers out there. We discussed the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey in the state of Illinois when she called 911 asking for help.To Reach Ronda Gonzalez Atkins: grssgrn2@gmail.com Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Today's guest is Ann Wasser, Director of Severson Dells Nature Center. Ann moved to the Rockford region from the Monterey Peninsula in California, known as one of the most scenic places in the country. She however, was very aware of the rising cost of living there, and thus became a financial immigrant to the Rockford area. Ann received her master's degree in education from the University of Washington in Seattle. She began working for Winnebago County seven and a half years ago. Severson Dells Nature Center spun off from the County in March 2023. The Nature Center became a stand-alone 501(c)(3 ) not-for-profit then. Let's delve into the fascinating life of Severson Dells and all the programs it offers for young and old alike. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/edward-mccullough/support

Kia, lives in Rockland Illinois and has film footage on her TikTok - @grandmakia8716 of being pulled over for honking her horn at a police car from Winnebago County, Illinois. Kia said that they wanted to, 'steal her phone,' and that her 'fork was a weapon' as well. Kia repeated back to them what they said. She was trying to find her insurance card. After being yanked out of her vehicle they took her phone immediately. Officer Pozzi repeatedly stated, "I'm going to beat you and drag you." Kia was held for 14 hours shackled at ankles and wrists. Later Kia was fined $700.00 in which $350.00 was reimbursed at a hearing in the morning. Kia spoke up in court after the clerk read off the charges but not the one that had been listed, that she was charged for "Improper Use of a Horn." Kia Walker explains how this abuse unfolded and how it has affected her life and explained that she should have asked for names and badge numbers. Kia is looking for a Civil Rights attorney, Pro Bono, to get the body cam footage that shows Officer Luciano Pozzi stating, "I'm going to beat and drag you." According to Universe Website Builder, Pozzi, a Rockland Police officer was involved in the beating of protestors on May 30th, 2020. Updates to follow.

In a provocative turn of events, Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues his controversial practice of sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, sparking heated debate and logistical chaos. A plane from Texas, carrying 355 immigrants, recently landed at Rockford Airport, Illinois. Upon arrival, the passengers were promptly escorted out of Winnebago County and directed towards Chicago, a known sanctuary city. This action reflects a growing tension between states over handling the influx of illegal immigrants, with sanctuary cities feeling the strain of their welcoming policies. As federal and local governments clash over the best approach, the situation underscores the urgent need for comprehensive immigration reform and better coordination at all government levels. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Morgan Taylor Lund, a 22-year-old Wisconsin woman, has been sentenced to seven years and six months in prison for a shocking crime in which she stabbed her ex-boyfriend 19 times while he slept. The court also ordered her to serve five years of extended supervision for an aggravated battery charge and an additional five years of probation for second-degree recklessly endangering safety. Lund had previously pleaded no contest to these charges in August, leading to her sentencing. The horrific incident took place in Winnebago County, where authorities reported that Lund used a pair of scissors to stab her ex-boyfriend repeatedly as he slept. The victim, who miraculously survived the attack, confronted Lund immediately afterward, demanding an explanation for her actions. Documents indicate that he exclaimed, "What the f— is wrong with you? Why in my sleep, bro?" In response, Lund reportedly claimed, "I thought I saw something." A responding officer arrived at a gruesome scene, where Lund was found with blood on her, applying pressure to the victim's upper chest or right shoulder area. She appeared to be wearing only an oversized blue UCLA sweatshirt. The relationship between Lund and her ex-boyfriend had been marked by contention and allegations of physical abuse. Although they shared a child and lived together, their daily arguments had escalated to the point where the victim sought to disengage from the relationship, which had ended one to two months before the stabbing. Despite their troubled history, the victim expressed confusion about Lund's motives for the attack, especially in front of their daughter. According to documents, there had been no recent incidents between them the night before the stabbing. While Lund had previously made threats, there were no indications of threats to his life. Lund's initial defense was a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. She claimed to have been seeing a dark, non-human "figure" for approximately six months to a year leading up to the incident. Court documents recount her recollection of waking up around 6:30 AM with her baby in the room and experiencing trouble sleeping. She later moved the baby to a playpen in the living room where the victim was sleeping on the couch. Lund stated that she had a muddled memory of a scenario where she believed her ex-boyfriend was yelling at their daughter. In her account, she saw a dark, ominous figure attacking him and reached for a pair of scissors to defend him. It was only when the victim began screaming and fighting back that she realized she was injuring him. She promptly put down the scissors and attempted to provide first aid. The court's decision to sentence Lund to prison reflects the gravity of her actions, despite her claims of hallucinations and delusions. The victim's survival and the shocking nature of the crime have garnered significant public attention. This case serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding mental health issues and their intersection with criminal behavior, prompting further discussions on the need for mental health support and intervention.

The Golden Boy
Eric Vernsten was a kid when the OJ Simpson trial was on TV. He and his older brother would watch it daily and on Friday nights, along with his family, he consumed a lineup of crime programs, such as Dateline. Eric was a talker. He liked to tell jokes and argue with people too. It occurred to him that law school might be in his future, but as he moved through high school, and then college, he turned his attention towards pro sports management. During the summer between his junior and senior college years, he got an unpaid marketing internship with the Austin Toros (now the Austin Spurs) after sending his resume to every NBA minor league team. His parents gave him $500 to get settled in Austin and he jumped into it, as he put it. In the off-hours, he worked as a wine sampler in liquor and grocery stores and waited tables. The following summer, after graduation, he was invited back to Austin to do season ticket sales, a paid role. Within a few weeks, Eric realized he hated the work. He still had law school on his mind and pivoted in that direction, moving back to his college town to live with a friend and study for the LSAT. Like the experience of many 20-somethings, Eric reflects on these decisions as big life lessons. He didn't get into law school the first time–another life lesson. Eric was not easily deterred. He applied again and earned dual JD/MBA degrees. After graduation, he landed in the wealth management field at a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs and while it sounds glamorous, it was not without its bumps and scrapes. He passed the bar exam but he was not getting any legal experience so he started to do volunteer legal work. Then a friend suggested he apply to the Army National Guard for a legal role. Eric got an offer and took a leave from his wealth management job to train with the Army. Once on board, he was one of a few lawyers who was tapped on January 6, 2021, to be on-site in Washington D.C. to deal with the aftermath of the insurrection. Eric did not return to his corporate role. Today, he is a prosecuting Assistant State's Attorney in Winnebago County, Illinois. His newest job is father to a nine-month-old baby boy. In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Eric's journey: Building off his earlier career in wealth management Eric recently opened his own business as a Financial Advisor. This is a side gig for him. He dabbles in stand-up comedy and improv in his “spare” time.

Welcome to our podcast. This episode will take a closer look at this week's child welfare blog post, focused on the recent Minnesota Supreme Court decision which unanimously overturned lower court rulings in the wrongful death lawsuit against Pope County brought by relatives of Eric Dean, whose 2015 murder at age 5 prompted significant child protection reforms. The combined impact of previous state and federal decisions, notably the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in DeShaney vs. Winnebago County, was to shield child protection caseworkers from lawsuits related to child deaths unless they had engaged in willful or malicious conduct. The Minnesota decision requires workers to also act in good faith and exercise due care, which lowers the threshold for successful litigation. This decision increases the potential to hold workers and counties accountable for decisions that knowingly put children at grave risk and which lead to their death. Time will tell how this plays out, but it looks like a big win for Minnesota children. Please join in to this important discussion, please call in to the podcast, or comment with your thoughts or questions on the blog post. We are grateful and honored for any thoughts, theories, or comments you would like to share. Thank you. Read the podcast transcript here.

Today we think of the Equal Protection Clause as requiring equal treatment of the laws. But in addition to anything else it covers, at its core it's supposed to protect, well, equal protection. Yet if you bring a claim that you're not being protected equally the courts generally have little to offer. However, civil rights attorney Laura Schauer Ives just won an appeal at the Tenth Circuit in a tragic case where the court did take “protection” seriously, denying qualified immunity to police officers who failed to protect a woman from her stalking ex-partner. She joins us to discuss the victory and its wider impact. Also, what's a “closely-regulated industry?” That term is often used to deny businesses some of their Fourth Amendment protections, and the Ninth Circuit recently ruled that massage parlors qualify. IJ's Josh Windham joins us to analyze whether this is becoming an exception that swallows the rule, i.e. the rule that the government come back with a warrant. Transcript forthcoming. Dalton v.

In this episode, we're joined by Ciara from Reach Counseling to learn more about sexual assault and sexual abuse here in Winnebago County. We typically talk about substance use and substance use prevention on this podcast, and this might feel like a bit of a left turn…but it's not as big of a leap as you might think. When you look at risk factors and protective factors for things like sexual abuse or assault, youth substance use, teen dating violence and others you start to notice that we have so many common goals when it comes to building a safe and healthy community for our youth – one in which they can flourish and grow while navigating adolescence. April is Sexual Assault awareness month and reach has a lot going on to engage and build skills within the community – be sure to check out the show notes for links to their social media and website so you can participate. April is also alcohol awareness month – and as you'll hear us talk about in this interview, alcohol and other substance use and sexual assault or abuse are not mutually exclusive issues. Please, talk to your kids about alcohol, other substances and how to deal with social pressures, unexpected situations and that it is OK to ask for help. https://reachcounseling.com/ https://www.facebook.com/reach.healing.lives https://www.facebook.com/reachyouthandteenadvocate

I'm a medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Rockford. The COVID-19 pandemic put my schooling on hold, so back in early April, I fought back. I joined the Medical Reserve Corps of Winnebago County. My family in Taiwan had kept me informed of COVID-19 in China, and I understood the importance of accurate data to formulate evidence-based policies. However, the absence of a well-coordinated response between federal and state governments resulted in many health departments being poorly equipped to gather data and contact trace. Luckily, myself and many others understood the situation. Over the last 10 weeks, I have volunteered alongside retired nurses, engineers, social workers, insurance auditors, medical students, pharmacy students, undergraduate students, practicing physicians and nurses, professors, and other concerned citizens. At the time of my writing, volunteers have collectively spent over 1,900 hours providing guidance to thousands of COVID-19

Two Voices From MPLS: Medic and Abolitionist On this episode, we're featuring two voices from Minneapolis, the epicenter of mass demonstrations and uprising following the police murder of #GeorgeFloyd. First up, you'll hear from Jacquie, a professional medic living in Minneapolis. Jacquie talks about the impacts of corona virus on Black and Brown communities around the city, some of what she saw in the early days of the protests and the feelings expressed to her about the killing of George Floyd and the problem of police in our racist society. You can find a project of theirs on instagram by seeking @femmeempowermentproject. Then, Tonja Honsey, executive director of the Minnsesota Freedom Fund, talks about bail and prison abolition, infrastructure to get folks out of jail and supporting the people in the streets. They're online at MinneapolisFreedomFund.Org Both interviewees shout out Black Visions Collective and Reclaim The Block, two police abolition projects in Minneapolis, and the Northstar Health Collective. Check our show notes for links to those projects, as well as bail funds for cities where solidarity protests have been met with police repression. Announcements Jalil Muntaqim There is an effort right now to get compassionate release for Jalil Muntaqim, former Black Panther and member of the Black Liberation Army. Jalil has been held by New York state since 1971 and he recently has tested positive for the Corona Virus. His attempts at parole over the years have been stymied by police and racists pressuring and stacking the parole board for Jalil's involvement in the death of two cops 5 decades ago. This has happened 12 times since 2002 when he became eligible. More info about his case at his support site, freejalil.com and check out this SFBayView article for how you can help push for his release. Breaking the 4th Wall Hey, y'all. First off, I just want to say how impressed I am at the power that people are drawing up from within in order to battle the police all over the country. Seeing videos and hearing stories from Minneapolis, Atlanta, Oakland, New York City, Omaha, Denver, St. Louis, Tucson, Los Angeles and elsewhere, plus the solidarity rallies and support coming out here and abroad is so heartwarming. This week, you'll know, police in Minneapolis murdered George Floyd, an African American man and people were there to video tape it. Since then, people took the streets, were met with tear gas and rubber bullets, some held vigils while others held the streets and set fire to a corner of that world that holds them hostage, including a police precinct. The cops present at Floyd's murder were fired, and finally the officer who murdered has been arrested. Mr. Last week, police murdered a Black Trans Man named Tony McDade in Tallahassee. Over the prior month and a half, that same force murdered two other African American men, Wilbon Woodard and Zackri Jones. On March 13th, Louisville police murdered Breonna Taylor, a medical First Responder, during a home raid. At a protest on May 28th for Breonna's legacy, 7 people were shot by unknown parties. Video of the murder by a white, retired cop and his son in Glynn County, Georgia, of yet another African American man, Ahmaud Arbery, was released a few weeks back sparking protests and the eventual arrest of the killers. The police sat on that video since Mr. Arbery's killing in February, allowing the killers to walk free. Please stay safe out there, y'all. Already, some folks have died at these protests, riots and uprisings against the status quo. Wear masks to protect from covid but also to obscure your identity. Drink lots of water, get good sleep if you can, take care of each other and support each other in these hard times. You can keep up on ongoing struggle via ItsGoingDown.org's site and social media presence, and you can watch amazing videos from Minneapolis via Unicorn Riot. Housing Liberation in Minneapolis "At 8:00pm on Friday, blocks from the epicenter of the uprising, we watched from a tent as armored vehicles and hundreds of national guard advanced on Hiawatha. The curfew was in effect and the state offered no options for a couple camped outside. The hotels promised to the large encampment across the highway left them and many other behind. The shelters were full. This couple finally found refuge in a largely vacant hotel a mile away. The next morning, they awoke to the burned remains of Chicago and Lake and learned that the hotel owners planned to evacuate. With nowhere else to go but with a community showing up to support, the couple declined to evacuate. Together we invited displaced and unsheltered neighbors to join us. Overnight people came in with harrowing stories of terror from police and other white supremacists. National guard shot rubber bullets at us while we stood guard against that violence. At the time of this writing nearly 200 people have created sanctuary in the memory of former shelter worker George Floyd. We avenge Floyd's death in the flames of the third precinct and honor his life in the reclamation of hoarded property. We have protected this building by occupying it.

Scott Yates and Shaquil Manigault, journalists from the Rockford Register Star, talked to first time voters who are 18-years-old or will be 18 by the time of the primary election to gauge their involvement and see what issues matter most to them. A student's lunch hour is usually the time where they can get away from the classrooms for a few moments in their day. However this day, students filled into a government teachers classroom one after another to share why they want to make their voices heard at the ballot for the first time. Before these students make their voices heard at the polls, The Register Star wanted to talk to students first to find out what issues were of importance to them. Voting laws have changed to allow 17-year-olds to vote on March 17 if they will be 18 by the Nov. 3 general election. According to the most recent population data provided by the Region 1 Planning Council, in 2010, they were 8,499 17 and 18-year-olds which made up 2.9% of Winnebago County's total population. Students were clear on what they were looking for candidates to address. We spoke to students from three different schools and issues such as gun control, the cost of college tuition and healthcare were a running theme among most of the students that we spoke to. These are the voices of first time eligible voters in the community.
Season 1, Episode 7 Sex Trafficking - What You Need To Know Part 1 In this episode Renae and Jax answer questions they intend to ask Jenny Jamison in episode 8. Jenny is an advanced practice social working on her clinical licensure at A Beautiful Journey and Brave Space. One of her previous positions was as a anti-trafficking/sexual exploitation advocate for Winnebago County where she acted on behalf of survivors of sex trafficking/exploitation to increase survivor safety and decrease further victimization by individuals and systems. Jenny provided emotional support and resources to victims and worked within legal and medical systems to provide court and medical accompaniment for survivors navigating these systems. Additionally, she developed and conducted training and outreach to service providers and other community members. Jax and Renae answer the questions prior to interviewing Jenny to show how limited even professional counselors can be in understanding all the dynamics of sex trafficking. Sex trafficking is constantly evolving and changing and getting harder and harder to infiltrate and stop. If one doesn't work in the world of sex trafficking on a daily basis it's understandable how they wouldn't know all the details. As parents, topics like sex trafficking are scary and therefore we are tempted to understandably avoid talking about it or even thinking about it. But, if we want to keep our kids and teens safe we need to start learning more about it and there is a lot to learn. Find Jax and Renae on social media by engaging with them in their facebook group for Moms of Tween/Teen Daughters: https://www.facebook.com/groups/momsandteengirls/?ref=bookmarks Jax Anderson can be found on IG @thepsykotherapist and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jaxandersonlpc/ Renae Swanson can be found on IG @renae.d.swanson and at www.integritycounselingllc.net Join the email list for Raise A Little Hell Podcast here: www.raisealittlehellpodcast.com "Disclaimer: This podcast is informational and NOT a substitute, replacement or in conjunction with individual, family, couples’ and group psychotherapy.

Earlier, Jorge was the vice president of food safety and risk management at the National Restaurant Association where he led the development of the award-winning ServSafe food safety training program for the restaurant industry. Jorge started his career as a regulator and held positions at the state and the Winnebago County health departments in Illinois, U.S. He has earned degrees in biology from Rockford University, microbiology from the Centro de Estudios Medico-Biologicos in Mexico City Mexico, and languages and literature from la Universite de la Sorbonne, Paris, France.

Hernandez has published many articles and is a recognized consultant in the areas of food safety, food safety management systems, food safety accreditation, food safety training, and food safety operations. In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to Jorge about: The art of balancing food safety science with common sense and making decisions based on both Food safety culture and how it allows employees to speak up when food safety is at risk Challenges of temperature control, contamination, and traceability while distributing food The importance of working with supply chain partners who are knowledgeable about food safety and take it seriously Why having the most sophisticated, up-to-date technology is not always enough to ensure the safety of food Challenges faced by large food transporters that are not always problematic for smaller, local, or regional operators The importance of using technology properly to ensure the best data and integrity possible Best practices for transporting mixed loads Why documentation and record-keeping are so important for times when technology may fail His thoughts on why food distribution is not a huge target for intentional contamination How the introduction of FSMA has helped make it safer to transport both raw product and ready-to-eat product on the same truck without cross-contamination issues Common transportation issues and the use of trucks that are not fit to safely transport food Working with GFSI to create international standards for transportation and warehousing How GFSI standards compare to the FSMA Sanitary Transportation rule Positive trends he sees with technology, big data, analytics, epidemiology, DNA, traceability, blockchain, and more.
