  • Great variety of perspectives and expertise

    I have enjoyed and appreciated that throughout the past few podcasts, Jared has not shied away from sharing his faith but has rather embraced it, preaching the good news and glorifying the Lord. It’s been an encouragement to myself and I hope many others can say the same.

  • Wasting time

    You are a very poor questioner. It is painful listening to you. You waste so much time on nonsense with your guests. It usually takes about 20 minutes before you actually ask your guest and intelligent question, then let them answer. I’m sorry. But it is too difficult

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

302: Matt Feldhaus - What's New With Ranching Sodak
Q: Working with Agspire, were there any changes or things that you made specifically that they helped you?
Feldhaus says his operation was already using virtual collars, crop grazing, diverse pastures, soil testing, and bale grazing. Agspire has provided financial support, technical advice, record-keeping tools, and people to consult about ranch practices and veterinary protocols.
302: Matt Feldhaus - What's New With Ranching Sodak
Q: Can you explain how the collars assist in extra calf growth and extra conception? What was the one that you didn't realize until this year?
Feldhaus says the collars encourage calves to graze farther from their mothers and seek better forage, becoming more independent earlier. He expects that this could support calf growth, but says they will need to weigh the calves to confirm the effect.
301: Tom Cotter - Cattle and Crop Integration
Q: What are your thoughts around investing outside of the farm business or off-farm investing, taking profits, chips off the table sort of, or versus reinvesting everything back into your main business?
Cotter has generally reinvested profits in the farm, often buying more cattle, but recognizes that a more diversified portfolio could benefit family life and provide income less dependent on volatile farm markets.
301: Tom Cotter - Cattle and Crop Integration
Q: What are your thoughts on debt and leverage, and how do you incorporate debt and leverage in a business or in an ag business?
Cotter advises keeping debt as low as possible. Diversifying crops and integrating livestock have reduced his need for expensive equipment and inputs, while cover crops and grazing have helped lower fertilizer and veterinary costs.
297: Eamon O'Toole - Running on Grass
Q: What is enough for you in terms of ranch size and life balance?
Growth remains a goal, but there is also focus on balancing family, community, and politics; the idea is to build a sustainable scale that supports future generations without overreaching.
