  1. Wildlife Migrations in Idaho with Nick Fasciano

    20H AGO

    Wildlife Migrations in Idaho with Nick Fasciano

    Nick Fasciano is the executive director of Idaho Wildlife Federation and came in to speak about migration patterns and needs of our wildlife. One of the issues with development is that there are very clear migration corridors that exist in Idaho that benefit untold numbers of wild game, and developers at times build communities over these areas. For some species, these are well worn trails that lead to winter grazing, safety, and labor and delivery areas for their next generation. Nick came in to discuss what Idaho is doing to help improve data and understanding of these areas so our natural resources can continue to thrive. Enjoy!  The Ranch Podcast is supported by Truth In Media Foundation, a non-profit media organization committed to unbiased, Idaho focused media.  The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials.  The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.  If you’re interested in producing a podcast or need content of any kind, please feel free to reach out to Matt at Matt@MTUStudios.com

  2. Idaho Just Got Sold with Alexis Pickering

    Idaho Just Got Sold with Alexis Pickering

    Alexis Pickering is the executive director of Conservation Voters of Idaho and came in to discuss how a portion of Idaho state land just got sold to a wealthy investor. There is a mandate in the Idaho constitution that requires lands be managed for the highest financial benefit, and in this case, it was worth more to do the one time sale than it was to continue the existing multiuse engagements. This is exactly what most people fear will happen if federal lands in Idaho were transferred to the state. Enjoy!

    College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UofI with Leslie Edgar

    Leslie Edgar is the Dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Idaho and came on to discuss ag, education, and where our food production may be moving. Many people that grew up on the farm or the ranch are not returning, which means we must educate and train our future farmers and food producers. UofI as our land grant university plays a key role in ensuring that our fertile lands will always have competent, capable people working them. Enjoy!

  4. College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences at UofI with Brooke Blevins

    College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences at UofI with Brooke Blevins

    Brooke Blevins is the Dean of the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences at University of Idaho and came on to discuss the difficulty with educating educators. Education is desperately needed so America can leverage its human capital to the fullest extent, but the plight of educators today includes easily over $100,000 in education cost for a job that does not return huge salaries. Hearing about what is needed and how UofI is navigating these issues with Dean Blevins was awesome. Enjoy!
