Florida owes its present day prestige and prosperity to cattle herding and the immense wealth resulting directly from trading beef with Cuba in the latter half of the 19th century. This week we cover Captain James McKay Sr, a Scottish immigrant who was the spark of genius responsible for launching this unprecedented transoceanic trade in live cattle and securing Florida's future.

Nyla Pipes, founder of One Florida Foundation, is a battle hardened conservationist and advocate for truth in tackling Florida's enduring water issues. On this episode, she joins us to discuss how she became involved in the discussion, where she sees the shortfalls in finding long term workable solutions rooted in peer-reviewed science and conservation rather than political posturing, and we also do our best to offer a balanced perspective to help debunk some of the tiresome false rhetoric that persists in Florida water policy.
