F4F - River Klass - Host of Ranch America

Episode 417

jeudi 29 août 2024Duration 01:05:45

Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, where we dig deep into the heart of modern farming and ranching. Today, we've got a real treat for you as we introduce a guest who's as passionate about ranching as he is about cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Our guest today is none other than River Klass, the charismatic host of "Ranch America," a show that takes you on a journey through the rugged landscapes and fascinating lives of ranchers across the country. Raised on a family ranch in Calaveras County, California, River has lived the authentic cowboy life, balancing his love for the land with his culinary talents.

River isn't just a rancher—he’s a chef, an entrepreneur, and a storyteller. He's spent his life not only working the land but also sharing the stories of those who dedicate their lives to it. From raising cattle with his wife Marci and their team at Calaveras Cowgirl Beef to running two popular restaurants in Murphys, CA, River knows what it takes to make ranching and farming a way of life, not just a job.

In today’s episode, we’ll hear some incredible stories—like how drones are replacing horses on the ranch, the tale of a $1.4 million bull, and the unforgettable experience of a Highland cow ranch visit. And of course, we'll dive into some lively discussions, touching on everything from protecting animals throughout their lives to the best cuts of meat, the importance of innovation in farming, and even what happens when wine meets cows.

So, whether you're tuning in from the cab of your tractor or listening while tending to your herd, get ready for an episode packed with laughter, inspiration, and a whole lot of ranching wisdom. Let’s welcome River Klass to the Farm4Profit Podcast!

Tech-Driven Agriculture: Insights from a Panel of Farmers

Episode 416

lundi 26 août 2024Duration 01:26:09

We talk alot about technology in this episode.  From the safety of tuning your equipment to the benefits and potential impacts on fuel consumption and emissions, we cover all the essential questions farmers have when considering performance enhancements for their machinery. Sherie Jones, Site Manager at STEINBAUER, joins us to discuss why the company chooses a 'plug n play' module over engine flash tuning, the ease of installation, and how their products can enhance efficiency without compromising your equipment. We'll also dive into key details such as warranty length, product availability in the USA, pricing, and how to purchase. If you're curious about whether tuning is right for your farm, this episode has the answers you need.

 

Our panelists tackle a wide range of questions surrounding technology in agriculture. They begin by defining technology and assessing the adoption rate within the industry. The discussion covers the types of technology currently in use, how these tools are impacting efficiency and productivity, and what cutting-edge innovations few others are utilizing. We dive into cost and ROI considerations, including equipment upgrades and financial incentives, and explore where technology still needs to improve in agriculture.

  • Would you compare the childhood perspective you gained to that of a kid growing up on a farm?
  • TELL US ABOUT THE FAMILY MEMBERS INVOLVED AT SUKUP AND HOW YOU WORK TOGETHER.
  • I work with my husband on a daily basis. My two kids are known as the recycling directors. Before COVID, they would take a wagon around and fill it up with everybody’s recycling and collect some candy. My brother-in-law, my dad – oftentimes we work five days a week. 
  • What is the key to keeping family and work tougher but separate?  We have listeners that right in wanting the solution to not being mad or resentful at a parent or a sibling involved in the farm or business.
  • DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOU WANTED TO COME BACK TO THE COMPANY FOR YOUR CAREER?
  • What would you say to our listener who is currently in school or college or working off the farm that is trying to find their fit in the family business?

  • What is your key to prioritizing?
  • How does this help with stress and your mental health?

Ag word origins

Acre- referred to the amount of land a team of oxen could plow in one day

bumper crop- In the mid sixteenth century we also see the adjective bumping genitals with the sense

of growing in size. So, it’s no surprise that bumper would acquire the sense of abundance or

greatness in size. By the mid eighteenth century we get this note of bumper

being used in colloquial speech in exactly this sense

balls to the wall - The balls in question are the round caps on the

throttle of many aircraft, and when they are pushed all the way forward, close

to the front wall of the cockpit, the aircraft is generating maximum thrust.

Corn Night - The night before Halloween, 30 October, is traditionally a night

when children and teens play pranks, such as smashing pumpkins, throwing

eggs, toilet papering trees, and the like.

Navigating Sustainable Agriculture: A Chat with Primient & Truterra

Episode 311

lundi 28 août 2023Duration 43:16

Your two guests:

  • Gregg Allard, Truterra: Can provide overview of Truterra’s work with downstream customers
  • Laura Kowalski, Global Sustainability Manager, Primient: Can provide sustainability specifics across enterprise and on work with Truterra

Laura’s Bio:

Laura leads sustainability at Primient. She has over 10 years of experience working in corporate sustainability. Laura has a Master’s degree in sustainable management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Laura lives in Naperville, Illinois with her husband and 2 young boys. 

Gregg Allard
Gregg Allard leads the Commercial and Strategic Partnerships team at Truterra where he is responsible for building and implementing regenerative agriculture programs with food, fuel, feed and fiber companies.  These projects include both supply chain insetting and carbon offsetting projects to support the Truterra network of growers across the US. 

About Primient

Primient is a leading producer of food and industrial ingredients made from plant-based, renewable sources. We deliver value through deep technical, commercial, and operational excellence that is backed by our long-standing corn wet milling heritage. Wherever we are in the process, from field to customer, our priorities are focused on ensuring we produce the safest, highest quality products through practices that uphold both our responsibility and commitments to our people and our planet.


About Truterra
Truterra is a leading agricultural sustainability business that offers consultation, tools and solutions for ag, food and CPG industries. Truterra works to advance and connect sustainability efforts throughout the food system at scale – from farmers to ag retailers to value chain collaborators including food and fiber companies. Truterra positions farmers for success by providing them tools and resources to establish a stewardship baseline, track progress on every field they farm, access conservation resources, and prepare for ecosystem services market opportunities.  Truterra was launched in 2016 by Land O'Lakes, Inc.

 

 

 

 

Primient + Truterra Working Together

The goal:

  • advance sustainable agricultural practices on acres equivalent to the global annual corn procurement volume (1.2 million acres). 
  • Soil Carbon, Wind Erosion, and Soil Conservation metrics; as well as, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, Conservation Practices 
  • How are these items monitored?
  • Deployed and Truterra insights score through the Truterra sustainability tool. Blog post on Primient/Truterra work for reference: https://primient.com/news/article/2023/02/leading-the-way-in-sustainable-agriculture

 

Sustainable Supply Chain Details

  • carbon markets/credits, which companies can purchase to offset their emissions, 
  • Then there’s what we call Sustainable Supply Chain,
  • which refers to the act of monitoring and evaluating a company’s supply shed to understand the sustainability qualities for something like corn, in Primient’s case. 
  • Truterra helps them track and monitor to eventually be able to report for scope 3 purposes. 
  • It may oftentimes be the same practices farmers are doing (reducing tillage, cover crops etc) that result in carbon credits, but a company is able to then take credit for this quality within their supply chain.
  • Truterra’s role is to bridge the gap between farmers and companies with sustainability goals who choose agriculture to be a part of their toolkit of solutions.

Questions

  • What is a sustainable supply shed?
  • Why are companies interested in it?
