## Resource

The hosts discuss the current weather conditions, the state of their ranches, and the challenges they face due to lack of rain. They also touch on topics such as employee management, standard operating procedures, autonomy, and the differences in ranching practices between different regions. The conversation covers a range of topics including ranching, agriculture, and the use of ATVs and horses. It also delves into the changing landscape of beef production and the potential impact of new technology on the industry. The discussion highlights the challenges and costs associated with running horses and ATVs, as well as the evolving role of future ag leaders. Takeaways Employee retention is a significant challenge for many ranches. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are essential for new employees but become less necessary as employees gain experience and autonomy. Ranching practices and challenges vary significantly between different regions and climates. Ranching and agriculture are undergoing significant changes, requiring a shift in strategy and innovation. The use of technology and data in beef production is expected to revolutionize the industry, potentially changing the way beef is sold and priced.
