On this episode, we have Emily Jackson, Vice President of Arcadia Commodity Opportunity, to talk about the business side of the cattle industry and the unique path that led her there. Raised in Canada by a family deeply rooted in the cattle business, Emily originally pursued a career in finance before discovering her passion for cattle feeding, risk management, and commodity markets. From buying cattle across North America to navigating market volatility, technology, AI, and supply chain challenges, Emily offers an inside look at what it takes to make disciplined decisions in one of agriculture’s most dynamic sectors. She also shares her experiences as a woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, the mentors who helped shape her career, and why she believes there’s a place for everyone in agriculture. Whether you're involved in the cattle business or simply curious about the people behind the beef industry, this conversation is full of insight, humor, and real-world perspective. Let’s get dirty with Emily!
