    The Queen Bee (Breeder) of Spallumcheen

    This episode, Emily Huxter of Wild Antho (and also episode one of this podcast) is back. The first time around, I had too much good tape to work with so I omitted this chunk of our conversation, which is about the practice and business of breeding & selling queen bees. I learned a lot about bee love-making, and now you will, too. Got something to tell me? Are you a farmer or non-profit that wants to post something on the community bulliten board?

    2024 Christmas Spectacular!

    Many of you must have been very good this year, because for this episode, our colleague Tristan Banwell of Spray Creek Ranch wrote something special for all of us! The score used underneath Tristan's piece is royalty free music from https://www.FesliyanStudios.com , specifically: Twas the Night Before Christmas by Steve Oxen. Vanessa Samur wrote the intro/outro music for the show. I gave her a smooch for her trouble.

    Emergent Ag Pests and How We Repond

    In this episode, I hope to give you a sense of how our agricultural community responds to emergent agricultural pests, with a focus on the activities of BC’s Ministry of agriculture. Later on in the episode, you’re going to hear a conversation I just recorded with Susanna Acheompong, an extension entomologist with the BC Ministry of Agriculture based in Kelowna. Susanna spends a lot of her time focused on the detection, monitoring, impact, and management of emergent agricultural pests in the southern interior, and she joined me to give us an update about two pests in particular: the western yellow striped armyworm and the western corn rootworm. My interest in this topic began when I found an emergent pest on my farm in Armstrong. I had recently read a bulletin about the detection of the western corn rootworm in the North Okanagan, and lo and behold, I found a couple of specimens in my own corn crop that October. I reported my discovery to BC Ministry of Ag Extension Agrologist Susanna Acheampong (Susanna.Acheampong@gov.bc.ca), and that led to sitting down for a couple of interviews with her, a year apart.

    Why don't BC's farmers cooperate more?

    This episode: when my guest was an urban farmer in Vancouver in the 2010s, she co-founded a marketing co-operative with her colleagues to streamline her produce sales. Intrigued by the problem-solving potential of cooperative business structures, she went on to obtain her Masters degree--and then her PhD--studying farming cooperatives in Japan. Emi Do currently works for Young Agrarians as its co-op coordinator. She joined me for a conversation about growing produce in Vancouver backyards, her studies of Japan's food system, and why co-ops are much less common in BC's food system.

    Accessing Farmland When It's Too Damned Expensive

    This episode, a couple of conversations inspired by an invitation I received to moderate a panel on Farmland Accessibility at the Columbia Basin Food & Buyers Expo in Nakusp later this week. In this episode, you’re going to hear from two of the three panelists who’ll be joining me in Nakusp to talk about innovative strategies for accessing farmland. Much of BC’s farmland is the most expensive in Canada by a longshot, and thus the outright purchase of land for farming is prohibitive for many people with aspirations to start a farm or expand the one they already have. Guest #1: Colin Dring, Researcher, Royal Rhodes University Guest #2: Darcy Smith, BC Program Manager with Young AgrariansI If you’re going to be at the Columbia Basin Food and Buyers Summit October 24-26th and plan to attend this panel discussion, there will be a lengthy Q&A, so please bring any questions with you that the interviews you’re about to hear might inspire.

    The Green Party's Vision for Ag in BC

    This ep: FARMERS VOTE 2024!

    Sisters-in-Laudable Farming Careers: Dairy & Veggies in Mara

    This ep: A long-ranging coversation with four owners of two farms that sit side-by-side in Mara: Louise Bruns and her husband, Hermann, own Wild Flight Veggie Farm. Across the road is Hamberlin Holsteins, owned by Daniela Bruns and her husband, Quentin. Daniela, Louise, Quentin and Hermann sat down with me to talk about how each operation came to be, how their upbringings influenced the farms they would eventually run, intergenerational conflict over competing farming philosophies, and a lot more.
