The Ag Tribes Report features returning guest Zack Smith (@zebulousprime), an innovative Iowa farmer known for his Stock Cropper system and sustainable farming advocacy. The episode covers three major agricultural news stories:
As always, the episode will include Zack's Peter Thiel Paradox (a controversial belief most farmers disagree with) and his Worthy Adversary.
- US-UK Beef Trade Deal: A new agreement eliminates UK tariffs on American beef that meets their strict standards, opening a significant export market but potentially straining US cattle herds already at 73-year lows.
- Dr. Casey Means' Surgeon General Nomination: Trump's nomination of this functional medicine advocate and vocal glyphosate critic could influence public perception of conventional agriculture despite the position's limited direct control over ag policy.
- AI in Agriculture: We'll discuss the farming community's reaction to Vance's recent podcast demonstrating how advanced AI is transforming agricultural work, exploring whether these technologies help small operations or widen existing gaps.
As always, the episode will include Zack's Peter Thiel Paradox (a controversial belief most farmers disagree with) and his Worthy Adversary.
