## Resource

We're covering A LOT of ground in this one. We kick things off ranking our top three Western films of all time, then get into the real stuff: planting season is HERE and this is the earliest we've ever put corn in the ground. From there we dive into beef prices, where they're at, and where they're headed. We break down the devastating Nebraska wildfires, 800,000+ acres burned, 35,000 cattle displaced, and grazing land destroyed in the largest wildfire in state history. We also talk Halter's AI cattle herding collars, the $2 billion tech that lets you move herds from your phone, and whether we think it's actually a good thing for ranching. On the policy side, we cover Thomas Massie's PRIME Act making it into the 2026 Farm Bill, National Ag Day, and the new "Product of USA" labeling standard requiring meat to be born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the U.S. to carry the label. Oh, and Bobby Lee got his YouTube hacked. We have a theory about that. Go check out Agzaga! It is the ultimate online farm store. American owned and operated.
