Delaney caught up with Faith Larson, Chief Strategy Officer for GrainBridge, at last week's National Association of Farm Broadcasters Convention to chat about a new technology for grain producers. STRATUM, a technology powered by GrainBridge, allows farmers to monitor and manage finances, watch cash sales at their local elevators, and more!
Brian Alexander is a grazier from central Kansas. He has recently embarked on a strip grazing experiment. Brian joined me to discuss what he knows about this experiment on the heels of the livestock leaving his ranch.
Today we go across the pond to speak with Peter and Paula Hynes of Cork County, Ireland. Peter and Paula run a grass based dairy and in the last couple of years have become vocal advocates for mental health in agriculture. We speak to them today about their motivations for beginning their work, their charity auctions benefiting work in mental health in Ireland and the UK, and their approach to social media to help bring a positive light to the industry.
Arti Singh, an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Agronomy at Iowa State University, talks to us about her work on training machines to detect stress in soybeans. Check out more of her work, here.
Garrett Toay of Ag Trader Talk chats us through what we might be seeing in the markets in the upcoming weeks and how producer might be able to manage some of that risk.
Today we speak again to Dr. Val Farmer. We initially hear from Val about his trip to Israel. First we speak about his visits to many of the sacred sites of world religions. We then speak briefly about the farming practices that Val observed during his visit. We then transition to talking about the current agriculture industry and the stresses farmers and ranchers face. We discuss personal and business management techniques that can help insulate us a bit against these stresses. Val has a vast archive of his writings available on-line focusing on mental health, relationships, and rural living at valFamer.com. If you want to learn more about Val and view his material, please be sure to check him out on-line.
