What's the real cost of the U.S.-Mexico border shutdown
A border closure can feel like a single policy switch, but the beef industry experiences it like a chain reaction. We sit down with Alvaro Bustillos, cattle rancher and founding partner of Vaquero Trading LLC, and president of the Chihuahua Cattlemen’s Association, to unpack what happens when the U.S.-Mexico feeder cattle trade stops moving, why the shutdown tied to New World Screwworm keeps returning, and how the economic shock spreads from ranches to feedlots to packing plants. If you care ...

Setting the agenda for better swine health
Endemic disease already steals margins, but a foreign animal disease outbreak could rewrite the rules overnight. From the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, we sit down with Marisa Rotolo, Director of Swine Health for the National Pork Board, and pork producer Paul Ayers to explain why the industry is building a National Swine Health Strategy and why it starts with one simple idea: let producers define the real problems and the practical fixes. Our Ann Hess digs into what we keep hearing across ...

Agribusiness under pressure
Margin pressure in agriculture is not a headline, it is a daily operating constraint. When diesel swings, fertilizer tightens, and geopolitics disrupts supply chains, agribusiness leaders have to make decisions fast, often without the ability to simply raise prices and move on. Host Sarah Muirhead sits down with Jim Clark of Granite Creek Capital Partners to map the biggest challenges to growth in agribusiness in 2026 and the real-world choices operators face when input costs surge. They dig...

New World screwworm alert
A parasite the US eliminated decades ago is back on the radar, and the clock starts the moment someone notices a “not quite right” wound. We sit down with Dr. Patrick Webb, Assistant Chief Veterinarian with the National Pork Board, to unpack what a confirmed New World screwworm case in southern Texas signals for pork producers and the wider livestock industry, and why early reporting beats waiting for certainty every time. We walk through how a suspected case typically moves from farm observ...

Simplifying Meat Industry Reporting
An excessive number of questions can turn “reporting” into a full-time job. So what happens when an industry decides to cut the noise and keep only what actually drives improvement? Sarah Muirhead sits down with Kristi Block, lead for the Meat Institute’s reporting strategy, to unpack the newly updated Meat Institute Reporting framework and what it means for packers, processors, and the wider meat and poultry supply chain. We walk through how the framework started as a proactive way to gathe...

Right bug, right drug, right time
Antibiotics can save pigs and protect performance, but only when we stop treating “a problem” and start treating the right pathogen at the right moment. We sit down with Dr. Megan Hindman, swine technical consultant with Elanco Animal Health, to break down what smart antibiotic use actually looks like on farm and why so many disappointing outcomes trace back to one issue: mismatch. Wrong bug, wrong drug, wrong time. We walk through the real-world decision tree producers face, starting with d...

Layer immune health control programs go beyond single fix
Immune health is one of those topics everyone agrees matters, yet it’s easy to oversimplify until a flock starts slipping in ways you can’t explain. We’re joined by William Stanley, senior key account veterinarian with Boehringer Ingelheim, to get practical about what “strong immunity” really means for layer flock health and day to day decision making on farms. We start with what Stanley calls the immune health triad (also known as the disease triad): the host bird, the pathogen and the envi...

Smart bets in uncertain ag markets
Uncertainty in agriculture is hitting differently right now, not because we have never dealt with risk, but because so many forces are moving at the same time. Commodity price volatility, stubborn input costs, geopolitical shocks, tighter regulation, and fast-changing farm technology are stacking up and making it harder to know what to do next. So we sit down with Emily Sword, Vice President at Inspire, to get practical about how farms and agribusiness leaders can plan without pretending the ...
