Traditional agricultural skills that made civilization possible are still alive and in use today. At the same time, hundreds of farm technician job listings across the US, and the rise of precision agriculture and software, clearly evidence the need for technologically-savvy farm technicians in the 21st century agricultural industry. It’s no surprise that tech-friendly millennials interested in farming are encouraged by these developments, which may make farming less labor intensive than in generations past. Technology may even be the antidote to a number of ills plaguing modern agriculture, which have led to a drastic decrease in the number of farms across the United States...

It’s supported by over 200 animal welfare, sustainable agriculture, environmental, and public health organizations. Vice President of Government Affairs at the National Cattleman’s Beef Association Ethan Lane has been vocal about his opposition to the Farm System Reform Act... ”Visit National Cattlemen’s Beef Association | North American Ag or to learn more...

After hearing testimony from agriculture economists, land-grant university faculty, and cattle industry stakeholders, many members of Congress echoed the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's (NCBA) longstanding call to expand processing capacity. Chrissy Wozniak of North American Ag speaks with Tanner Beymer, Director of Government Affairs & Market Regulatory Policy for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. During the Hearing members also noted the need for greater transparency in cattle markets to create conditions that support both a reliable, affordable supply of U... beef and the continued financial viability of American cattle farmers and ranchers. The roadblocks that are depressing profits for our cattle producers and endangering the steady supply of affordable beef have really captured the attention of lawmakers, said NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane...

Corn is an important cereal grain grown worldwide and is a staple food in many countries. Every year the corn industry faces millions of dollars’ worth of losses primarily due to faulty logistics and poor storage facilities. Here, the damages due to storage pests and diseases are amongst the main post-harvest losses seen in stored corn grains. Depending upon the conditions, the losses may vary from slight to extensive— inevitably impacting our food security... Weevils (both adults and larvae) are voracious feeders of the grains, causing extensive damage and spoiling of the corn kernels...

Farmers, loggers and cattle ranchers cleared forest to create grazing land as well as to grow highly profitable crops like soy... However, with the limited governmental ability to oversee the development of an enormous dense forest just slightly smaller than the continent of Australia, it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when eager farmers and cattlemen started to illegally clear additional land... Since these changes were passed, Brazil has seen a distinct rise in new deforestation, as soy and cattle farmers have little respect for laws without consequences... The real irony of the Brazilian soy boom is it was initially looked at as an environmentally better option than cattle farming, where large pastures and hayfields were cleared out of the rainforest... Soybean farming is not the only reason the rainforests are in decline as large cattle farms were there well before the first soybean seed was planted...

NCBA has long urged USDA to adopt policies that increase transparency in the cattle markets and applauds this effort to provide producers greater insight into cattle transactions. “USDA’s announcement is a significant step toward increasing transparency in the cattle markets,” said NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane... NCBA remains committed to maximizing market transparency and looks forward to building on this momentum to shed more light on the fed cattle trade...

The Keenans were up to their elbows in infrastructure projects, animal husbandry, and a burgeoning farmstay business, and needed help in a bad way. Balancing a post and beam, lime plaster home construction project against caretaking goats and chickens, while juggling four human kids to boot, left the Keenans with little time for their personal lives. So, the family turned to the outside world for help. As a recent college grad excited about farming, I responded to their advertisement, and soon found my way to the delightful Keenan homestead... That land supports “just under 1,000 head of cattle, about 5,000 laying hens, 600 hogs per year, 20,000 broilers, and 2,000 turkeys...
