Sorry for getting this out a day late. We had an emergency at our house yesterday that resulted in Carter breaking his collar bone. Let's just say the podcast sort of slipped my mind. Today, I'm giving an update on the podcast and some speaking events I have had the opportunity to be involved in. Then I chat a bit about the craze that is social media in the wake of the Roe v. Wade reversal. Although we may disagree with one another, we may still be civil. Lastly, I speak about a new # on Instagram, #AgLetsTalk that allows for folks to share their mental health journey
Jaime Elizondo of Real Wealth Ranching joined me to talk about what it means to generate real wealth in ranching. We talk about developing a Total Grazing Program, Optimum Calving Season, Adapted Genetics, and Nutrition.
Damon Printz of Tank Toad joined me to talk about the process of research and development for a remote tank monitoring system called Tank Toad. We cover the history as well as the different use cases for the Tank Toad a versatile system capable of more than just telling you how much water is in your most remote tank.
I've long said that the thing I'm most honored and humbled by as a podcast host is when someone reaches out to me to be on the podcast. This is yet another conversation that started out that way. Camden Calloway is a sophomore at Purdue who is majoring in Agronomy. We sat down today to chat about some of the work he has been doing to advocate for mental health for the next generation of ag professionals. To get in contact with Camden, go to CamdenCalloway460@gmail.com or call him at 765-432-5063
Our favorites stories of weird stuff please steal. And later, what was caught on camera at the Amarillo Zoo? A Werewolf? A Beaver? Cue the Beavis and Butthead laughs.
Tom Williams has been running the Chappell Feedlot in Chappell, Nebraska for more than 30 years. I sat down with him and Doug Gillham to discuss some of the things that the Cow/Calf sector can learn from the Feedlot sector. We talk about vaccination programs, grade and yield considerations, and the importance of low-stress handling.
Jake Renner and I have been connected for sometime now via social media and actually had the good fortune to meet in person at CattleCon in San Antonio 2020. Since the early days of the podcast, I have wanted to have Jake on the podcast to discuss his experience in the ag industry and how it has affected him. Jake is currently Member and Youth Activities Coordinator for the American Gelbvieh association. Jake also happens to be an openly gay man. We talk about his experiences as a gay man in agriculture and having to overcome all that can come with that. We also talk about how important it is that we focus on the things we agree on instead of what we disagree on. I consider Jake a friend and am proud and honored to have him on the podcast.
