And, make sure you listen to his experience working at a Montana ranch...a place where he saw first hand the hard work and low prices may producers experience.

Ranch to Resturant/Farm to Table with Henry Arrowood
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
Tuesday Feb 13, 2024
He calls it a "Business in a Box". Henry Arrowood is talking about Farmshare a way for ranchers and farmers to take their beef directly to the consumer or restaurant. The very cool thing about this is Farmshare is nearly a "turn-key" arrangement. They will provide the packaging, labels, shipping and more. What you do is let folks know that you have the beef they want. Listen as Henry tells us what farmers/ranchers currently make per pound and what he has proven Farmshare can accomplish. The numbers are amazing. Oh...and catch what he did to experience ranch work. It's a hoot! We sure enjoyed this conversation and think you will too...producer or consumer or restaurant meet Henry!

Telling Your Business Story Matters with Eric Grant
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
Thursday Feb 08, 2024
While in Orlando for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Annual Meeting and Trade Show we met a man who tells stories. More direct, he tells the story of businesses large and small. Eric Grant and Brian Bell founded The Grant Company in 2017 for the purpose of helping business owners find and tell their story because it matters to consumers. Often, Eric says, owners really don't know their story or think their story doesn't matter. However, the Grant Company uses many tools from video to still images the spoken and written word to dive deep into the corporate history and paint a true picture...one that resonates with consumers. We truly "geeked-out" on this conversation because in our other life as a marketing and ad agency we totally get what Eric is doing. Once you hear this...you'll get it as well. Meet the master story teller, Eric Grant.

It's the final day of Cattle Con 2024 here in Orlando. This is the annual meeting of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and we talked to a host of producers, and those who sell products and services to the beef cattle industry. Here is a stunning fact: Only 2% of the U.S. population is involved in agriculture. One-hundred years ago 25% of the population farmed and ranched. We have become a nation mostly ignorant how food is produced...and, according to NCBA, that can be a danger. In the weeks ahead we'll share some of what we heard. I promise it it will be interesting. Meanwhile, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.

The number of news/journalist jobs cut is stunning;
And what that means to you for local news;
A new student loan forgiveness program rolls out;
Big news from the USDA for small cattle producers;
The Fall of 23 and Me;
Seven ways for you to save money in 2024.
