On June 9, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of the Army announced their intent to revise the definition of “waters of the United States”. North American Ag's Chrissy Wozniak had the pleasure of speaking with an expert on the matter - the Senior Director of the American Farm Bureau Federation, from Fairfax Station, Virginia - Don Parrish.

The Navigable Water NWPR replaced EPA’s controversial Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. Under the Obama-era rule, EPA could have extended its authority beyond navigable waters to include “waters” as small as wet-weather ditches and springs. EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the agency determined the current rule is leading to “significant environmental degradation.” NWPR will remain the law of the land while EPA drafts a new rule.

“Clean water and clarity are paramount, and that is why farmers shouldn’t need a team of lawyers and consultants to farm.” says Farm Bureau President Zippy Duval. Don Parrish gives his thoughts and analysis on the issue.

Nancy Vander Byl of KühlerZ joins Chrissy Wozniak to discuss why core body temperature (CBT) consistency is critical for maintaining cow health.

KühlerZ offers a fully automated system to make every day feel like a consistent, cool day for your cows. Temperature swings and heatwaves cause cows to struggle, giving you big problems to deal with. You and your cows shouldn't have to suffer because of fluctuating and/or high temperatures.

When the temperature and humidity (THI) in your dairy barn change, the KühlerZ system reacts quickly and precisely to proactively prevent your cows from the negative effects of that temperature swing. We know it's frustrating when the temperatures jump around or skyrocket and your cattle performance suffers. KühlerZ has been helping farmers prevent the damaging effects of temperature swings and heat stress since 2009.

North American Ag's Chrissy Wozniak talks with author Michele Payn.

For those involved in agriculture the lies can be maddening, what’s the best way to address the narrative that’s being fed to those furthest from the farm. Michele Payn exists to stop the food bullying that is so pervasive in our culture. Known as one of North America's leading experts in connecting farm and food, she serves as a resource for people around the plate. 

Utilizing her diverse professional experience in the agricultural, sales and not-for-profit sectors, Michele founded Cause Matters Corp., a company designed to create connections around the food plate, in 2001. Cause Matters Corp. focuses on addressing food myths, developing science communication, and connecting farm to food. In each of these core areas, Michele helps organizations clearly identify issues, understand their audience and develop big picture solutions. Michele's goal is to help you communicate "why your cause matters" - whether you're a scientist, dietitian or in agribusiness.

In her Food Bullying podcast, Michele and cohost Eliz talk about the $5.75 trillion secret that food marketers and celebrity spokespeople don’t want you to know. Each episode is filled with tangible ideas on how you may have been bullied, why it impacts your wellness, and how to overcome food bullying. Michele and Eliz are known for their humorous, real-life debates about food, health and the stress associated with each.
