Jason Medows is launching a new podcast today. Ag State of Mind is a podcast geared toward changing and normalizing the conversation around mental health in agriculture.
In our first interview episode, Jason gets an overview of mental health in rural and farming communities from Dr. Val Farmer, a well-known clinical psychologist and syndicated columnist, specializing in rural mental health and family relationships. Get more info on Dr. Farmer at: valfarmer.com. A
David Kleinschmidt is a contract consultant with Understanding Ag, LLC. The soil health education organization started by Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, Ray Archuletta, and Shane New. He joined me to discuss how we can improve our pastures with cover crops as well as how we can move more toward a regenerative system.
It's Tri-State Fair time in the Texas Panhandle! We talk turkey, well, actually we talk chicken. Namely the chicken show. We're pretty sure these birds are from another planet from another time. And later, Landon goes on about his neighbor going "number one" for the whole world to see.
Riki Kremers is a rancher from East Central Wyoming. She is an excellent business woman who has seen great improvements in her land base as she and her family have implemented Instinctive Migratory Grazing.
Welcome to our inaugural episode of Ag State of Mind! In this episode, Jason shares a bit about his background and his vision for this podcast. We hope you'll join us and find out if this podcast can benefit you!
Casey Seymour is back on to fill in for Landon (TWSS) and joins Brent to reflect on 9/11 and then discuss something far less serious. Cannibalism. Some D-Bag "scientist" thinks we may need to turn to this great diet to combat climate change.
Xiaokang Chen (Alex) has a fascinating history that uniquely qualifies him to speak to the audience of the Working Cows podcast. He attended High School in the Boston area as well as attended a prestigious Entrepreneurial School (Babson College). As such, he understands the necessity of a profitable herd. Couple that with training from Johann Zietsman in finding genetically adapted cattle and you have a winning combination for an episode of the Working Cows podcast.
