Ep. 242: Who Let the Screwworm In? | Listener Q&A

This week on Talk Dirt To Me, we're turning the microphone over to you for a listener Q&A episode packed with agriculture, cattle, farming, and plenty of rural common sense. We continue to dive into one of the biggest livestock stories in the country right now, the New World Screwworm outbreak. Who is really responsible for screwworm making its way back toward the United States? How did it spread across multiple regions, and what could it mean for cattle producers, and beef prices moving forward? We break down the facts, the finger-pointing, and what farmers and ranchers need to know. We also answer listener questions about crop rotation, including how Logan structures his corn and soybean acres, why rotation matters, and how those decisions impact profitability on the farm. Plus, we discuss whether cattle can safely eat whole kernel corn, feeding considerations for beef producers, and several other listener-submitted questions covering life in agriculture. As always, we wrap things up with our Top 3 segment. This week's topic: the worst jobs on the farm. From miserable summer chores to tasks that make you question your life choices, we're sharing the jobs we'd be perfectly happy never doing again. And for our Made in the USA spotlight, let's just say things get a little unusual. This week's featured product is Neuticals: a uniquely American invention that has to be heard to be believed. Whether you're a farmer, rancher, cattle producer, ag enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys honest conversations about rural life, this episode has something for you.
