Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Knowing Your Numbers: Data, Risk and Performance in the Feedlot with Hamish Pennington
Q: As a producer yourself, do you think farmers need to be taking more risks now to evolve with these ongoing changes and unpredictabilities?
Pennington supports taking controlled risks, such as buying livestock only after securing a sale and margin. He says diversification through the feed mill and irrigation farm also helps manage drought risk.
Knowing Your Numbers: Data, Risk and Performance in the Feedlot with Hamish Pennington
Q: What got you into that feedlot? What was the planning that went into it? How did you set it up?
The feedlot began as a way to trial the pellets made by the family's mill, measure their performance and give customers confidence in the product.
Getting More From Silage: Grazing, Quality and Storage with Scott Angel
Q: What is your approach to chasing quality versus quantity in silage?
We prioritize quality because higher protein and energy in the silage improves animal performance and reduces reliance on expensive supplements, which ultimately makes the enterprise more profitable even if it means harvesting a bit earlier.
Getting More From Silage: Grazing, Quality and Storage with Scott Angel
Q: What storage options do you use and which would you recommend to a beginner?
I use a mix of above-ground bunkers, pits, and sometimes tube-line systems; for beginners, start with a simple tubeline square bale system to learn the basics, then expand as needed. Concrete pit floors and central feeding access help reduce labor and maintain quality.
Getting More From Silage: Grazing, Quality and Storage with Scott Angel
Q: Can you tell us how long you've been making silage and why you stick with it?
We've been making silage for about 30 years on the farm and have found it's essential for managing feed during variable seasons, enabling us to feed high-quality roughage to cattle and finish weight gain more efficiently.
