This week, Katharine and Valene are back with a long-overdue market update, diving into the latest trends, pressures, and opportunities facing the beef and dairy sectors. From record-high calf prices and manufacturing expansions to shifting consumer demands and the rise of high-protein convenience foods, the hosts explore how global and domestic factors are shaping protein production across the board.
They dig into big-picture questions: Are we headed for a boom or a bubble? Can processors stay nimble as product trends shift? Is AI ready to meaningfully solve labor shortages? And where does innovation need to happen next to keep up with evolving markets?
This episode is packed with thoughtful insights and honest curiosity. If you're a producer, processor, or involved in all things ag, you’ll appreciate this candid take on where we are and where we might be headed.
