Episode 6: The Meat Monopoly & Quality Genetics with Handy Kennedy Jr.

After last week’s "slap in the face" regarding beef imports, Shawn goes upstream to investigate the real source of high grocery prices: the "Big Four" meatpacking companies. This week, Shawn is joined by Handy Kennedy Jr., a fourth-generation cattleman and founder of AUbeef.net. Handy shares his expertise on building a profitable herd through superior genetics and discusses the challenges independent ranchers face in a market controlled by corporate monopolies. Shawn shares a boots-on-the-ground report from his recent cattle-buying trip to Tennessee. In this episode: * Guest Voice: Handy Kennedy Jr. on legacy farming, genetics * The Big Four: Exposing the meatpacking giants controlling your dinner plate. * Price Fixing: Why the rancher gets pennies while the packer makes millions.

Episode 5: Day 24: The Shutdown, The Stool, and The Stress

We are on Day 24 of the government shutdown, and the pressure is mounting on America's "three-legged stool": livestock, row crops, and forestry. In this episode of Voices from the Dirt Road, Shawn "The Farmer" breaks down a chaotic week for agriculture. We start with the controversial news regarding imported beef from Argentina—a move Shawn calls a "slap in the face" to American ranchers. Why is the administration doing it, and will it actually lower prices at the grocery store? (Spoiler: The problem isn't the cows; it’s the meatpackers). Shawn also discusses the heartbreaking reality for soybean farmers facing a bumper crop with no buyers, and the looming crisis for families relying on SNAP benefits as funding threatens to dry up before Thanksgiving. In this episode: * The Beef Battle: Why importing foreign beef hurts local ranchers and fails to fix consumer prices. * Soybean Standoff: The impact of trade wars and the loss of the Chinese market. * The Shutdown Effect: USDA office closures and the potential freeze of food stamp (SNAP) benefits by November. * Mental Health in Ag: A candid look at farmer suicide rates and a call to support the AgStress hotline. Join us for a cup of coffee and the real truth from the dirt road.
