Show Notes
In this
episode of the Ranching Reboot Podcast, host Brian Alexander engages with
veteran rancher Mike Callicrate to explore the intersection of modern ranching
and the complex food system. The episode addresses critical issues such as the
influence of big corporations on cattle prices, the economic challenges facing
family farms, and the necessity for fair markets. Important discussions include
the impacts of weather and technology on ranching, the ethics of labor in meat
plants, and the detrimental effects of absentee landownership. Callicrate shares
his experiences with lawsuits against major meatpacking companies and advocates
for policy changes that support sustainable land management and economic
viability for producers.
