Trent Loos Podcast

David and Maggie Kelly have incorporated U.S. and Australian Hereford cattle genetics into their herd with an ET program. They moved away from Limousin and to Hereford that in itself is a great conversation but we tangle a lot of webs in this one.

The folks who are constantly asking the question, "what is wrong with young people today?" Well they are certainly are not working with young folks from Rural America because they excel like never before. Oh and no longer waiting on the establishment 2020 teaches us to carve our path.

We are all at the crew hand of Mother Nature. But when you are not treated as you suppose to by the Federal Government what will give? Hank Vogler ranches in North Spring Valley, NV and is considering buying $150,000 worth of corn to keep ewes in condition.

One a month we like to refresh folks mind on the tactics of animal rights organizations attempt to pardner with local law enforcement officials.  Today we take the criminal intent discussion to a whole new level.

So Jenny Schweigert and I have been working for a short 2 months at increasing the dialogue between Rural and Urban America. How are we doing? What have we to show for the effort, and where do we go from here. Of course there must be a bit of dialogue about dirty Illinois politics. 

Paul Grant, Kim Bremmer, Andrew Henderson join Trent Loos in what he says never works, a four corner coffee shop discussion about the growth in dairy production and consumption. I must say I think it works out very well this time and what is the checkoff dollar doing for the farmer?

Once again today we dive into the fact that competition in the market place is gone. If you are raising lambs who are you going to sell them too?

In the lamb business there are only a couple packers. On this very day there stands to be one less if the Attorney General does not get involved. Carson Jorgensen is a sheep rancher from Central Utah and we shear the sheep today providing the bear facts.

Creating a community in Chicago by turning vacant properly into food production is her goal. And quite frankly you will have a hard time arguing with her success thus far

Without subsidies in the UK only 1 in 5 farmers are profitable. With subsidies only 50% are profitable. What does this all mean for global food production as food producers in all countries are struggling and it started long before COVID-19.

Folks we are following the course of history whether we want to or not. The Wild Horse was not a wild at all. It was a great example of private property being taken by the general public and we are being steamrolled into the rest.

The fourth Saturday each July is set aside as The National Day of the American Cowboy but for Kevin Holten it truly is the cowboy way every day. Join us at the camp fire along the dusty trail as we remind folks about the history and culture of the United States of America created by the Cowboy.

Today we are joined by two Brits Andrew Henderson and Chris McGlade. We must celebrate the working class of folks globally and this poem penned by Chris McGlade called "The Right to Hate" may indeed just be the first step in getting this done.

The real question of the day is how do we as farmers/ranchers get more of the consumers food dollar. Quite frankly it does't matter if your consumer is in another country the question stands.

The real issue behind the chaos and destruction today has nothing to do with social justice, it is all about breaking the back of the United States of America. Clearly the time has come to take a stand.

Today we certainly do not find solution to the science making the same impact emotion when it comes to sharing the real impact of lower carbon footprint in food production. Jenny Schweigert brings one of the best scientist in the country when it comes bridging the gap between food producers and consumers.

If you continue to shop at the big stores, buy all the big name brands you will continue to see consolidation in the entire food chain. Oh yeah and we decide it is time to sunset the checkoff programs as they exist. 

Jenna Wheeler will attend Texas A&M this fall and pursue her educate as well as her passion of livestock judging.  This conversation in my mind is a must hear for anyone who cares about the future of healthy farm families. 

Today Andrew Henderson is standing on a 2900 cow dairy in the UK and Dr. Dave Davies joins to talk about Farmers are the solution. "Rather than Government making Farmers the Foes, they need to embrace farmers as the solution."

It is really hard to keep up with all the thoughts running to Hank's head in this one. From a ranch owner who thinks he can raise sheep predators won't eat to American Indians owning slaves to the fake news of a sovereign nation. There is something in here that will jump start your day.

How many perceptions about modern food production can we shape in the correct way? We are already in the hole but it is never too late to get the facts to those who want to know.

From Des Moines, Iowa and The Youth Development Event of 2020 as families have gathered to show pigs and network with others from around the nation. We talk 4H, Extension, Kentucky basketball and Chicken Pox.

Everything that the government mandates clearly creates opportunities that will work against the H2A employer. Who is really sticking up for the little guy in today's world?

John Bolin thought he was doing the right thing after retiring from law enforcement by conducting investigations for animals rights NGO's. Well after 3 years he could see he was doing the wrong thing. He comes clean today as he reflects on the path of investigation he took then.

How do you properly feed a family of 8? How do you do it on a budget and of course we launch in to the whole mCOOL discussion about meat.
