March 20, 2026
Liliane Severino da Silva and Marcelo Wallau

A dry fall followed by repeated cold snaps stalled cool‑season forage growth across the Southeast, exposing vulnerabilities even in normally resilient systems.

Go West, young men … and women

There’s a reason the phrase still echoes across generations: “Go West, young man.” Not because the West holds answers, but because travel enhances your perspective.
March 17, 2026
Marian Viney

Visiting the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California, where more than 100,000 people from 53 countries viewed 2.6 million square feet of exhibits, reminded me how interconnected and resilient agriculture really is.

Who gets the family operation? How do I start on a succession plan?

Succession planning prepares the next manager before crisis forces decisions, clarifies roles separate from estate planning, and draws on what worked – and what didn’t.

A behind-the-scenes look at a high-tech California dairy

Innovation was evident on the tour of Rib‑Arrow Dairy, a few miles from the expo grounds. The Ribeiro family has been dairying for more than 100 years, and they are leaning into technology – not to replace herdsmanship skills but to sharpen it.
March 10, 2026
Marian Viney

Rib‑Arrow Dairy uses a fully connected system – vision monitoring, activity collars, cow‑locating tools and automated footbaths – to spot changes early and respond fast.

Irons in the Fire: Broken eggs and broken dreams

Just beyond the back door sits a weathered 12-by-12 building that has served as a chicken house for two decades, though it goes back 80 years or more. Its patched roof, missing lean‑to and weathered boards carry the marks of horses, heifers, storms and time. Yet the structure has become as familiar and comforting as the morning sounds on the 51‑step walk from the house to the henhouse door.
February 26, 2026
Paul Marchant

A timeworn chicken house becomes a quiet keeper of history, routine and home.
