Dr. Tom Noffsinger joined me to start a two-part series on stockmanship in the vein of Bud Williams. We start at the trailers and walkthrough our approach of the cattle all the way to the corrals. We will pick this series up next week with Steve Cote about our approach in the pens and through the chute.
This episode is all over the place. We just returned from vacation and I realized we didn't have a podcast ready to go. So I sat down on Monday morning and recorded my thoughts post vacation. I talk a little bit about our time in Florida, how gratitude is a super power, and how applying the tenets of stoicism can help us calm our minds and not worry about things out of our control. We will be back next week with a regular episode. I hope you enjoy this peak into our lives this week.
Tanner Winterhof is back on the podcast for a pre-Commodity Classic conversation! Tanner and Delaney will be joining forces next week a Commodity Classic and reporting live from the trade show floor. Tune in to hear more about their plans!
Rupert Williams joins us to talk more about why the issue with Russia and Ukraine is so important on a global spectrum. Tune in as we also go over market volatility as tensions continue in Ukraine and more.
Brad Kruse from Wisconsin joined me to discuss his journey from cow/calf, to pigs, to sheep, and finally to honeybees. We talk about the factors that influenced Brad's decision to look deeper into honeybees as well as how he continues to balance his other enterprises.
I talk often about how my wife Keri is such an integral part of our podcast team. She helps so much behind the scenes with allowing me the space to operate this podcast. In October at FFA National Convention, she continued to help make this podcast what it is. She had a good conversation with today's guest Abby Heidenreich. Abby is an extension agent with Purdue University and she was at FFA with a booth for Purdue's Farm Stress project. Keri got her info and passed it along to me and a few months later we sat down and had a podcast conversation about what her and the entire team at Purdue are doing... and let me tell you I was SO impressed. Purdue is truly on the cutting edge of helping producers mitigate farm stress. To check out a little bit of what they are doing, go to https://extension.purdue.edu/farmstress/category/mental-health/
