Progressive Cattle editors sit down with guests at the 2023 NCBA Cattle Industry Convention in New Orleans.

In this episode, David, Paul, Tyrell and Carrie discuss China’s population decline, the price of eggs and, just for good measure, the weather (see Paul’s column for full details.) 

In this episode, two guests weigh in on what's ahead for agriculture in the new year. Redd Summit Advisor's Ross Bronson addresses ways producers can leverage the decline in cattle inventory, and CoBank's Brian Earnest discusses recessionary fears, rising interest rates and more.

In this episode, Editor Carrie Veselka discusses budgeting tips and financial habits for the new year with DeDe Jones from Texas A&M University. Also, Carrie, David Cooper, Cassidy Woolsey, and Paul and Tyrell Marchant preview the December issue of Progressive Cattle and duke out the best and worst Christmas songs of all time.

In this episode, Paul visits with Dave Nichols, an emeritus professor at Kansas State University about his experiences as a livestock judge and educator, discussing opportunities to bridge the gap between agriculture and consumers. David also visits with K-State ag economist Ted Schroeder about the changing elements in the cattle markets, and the potential pitfalls of mandating cash cattle markets. David, Paul and Carrie also share a preview of the November issue, and share what they're grateful for this Thanksgiving season.

David, Carrie and Tyrell provide a rundown of AgProud.com, the new ag supersite that is now Progressive Cattle's home. Then Tyrell checks in from the National Red Angus Convention in Kalispell, Montana.

In this episode, two guests from the great state of Texas join Tyrell. Ag attorney Kyle Weldon discusses open range and fence laws, and Texas A&M’s Jason Banta weighs in on cow-calf nutrition. Carrie, Paul and David discuss county fairs and the recession, then debate the merits of the Top Gun franchise.
