Irons in the Fire: He ain’t much of a mentioner

This reflection leans into the familiar comfort of shared cultural circles and the stories that bind them. A reference to Lonesome Dove provides the common touchstone, highlighting the lasting pull of Robert Duvall’s unforgettable Augustus McCrae.

Paul Marchant

The circles I run in are filled with like-minded people. That should come as no surprise to anyone because, in that regard, I’m quite certain that most of us are pretty much the same. The chances are pretty high that, if you’re reading this, you fit in the circles in which I run.

January 30, 2026
Marian Viney

More than 55% of U.S. land is forage ground – and producers continue to make those acres work for the future. AFGC’s Asheville conference reflected that optimism and shared purpose.

Selecting for improved productivity and adaptability in fescue environments

USDA issues 90-day pause on biodigester applications

January 29, 2026
Jenn Coyne

Anaerobic digesters have reshaped the dairy industry, providing a sustainable solution for manure handling and an alternative energy source for U.S. households. For the relatively small portion of those projects that receive funding through the USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), that momentum now faces a temporary pause.

January 29, 2026
Audrey Schmitz

Ready or not – here they come: Preparing the next generation to lead dairy farms

Critical skillsets for the next generation to learn before they lead the team include getting comfortable getting uncomfortable, building the skills and abilities of others, modeling behaviors, showing appreciation and committing to continuous improvement.
January 29, 2026
Tim Schaefer

Every generation will either lose a farm legacy or strengthen it. There often isn’t a middle ground. When we think of dairy legacies, we think of cattle and barns, but really, we admire dairy families. Every family will have a next generation, and we owe it to them to put them on the best possible footing. It's their future but your legacy.
