As winter sets in, feeding efficiency becomes critical for maintaining healthy, productive herds — and for keeping feed costs under control. In this episode of Tim’s Take, we discussion with Dr. Eric Bailey, State Beef Nutrition Specialist with the University of Missouri Extension, as he breaks down how to reduce hay waste and improve your feeding strategies. From the impact of late-season droughts to practical feeding methods like unrolling hay and feeding one day at a time, Dr. Bailey explains how a few simple management changes can make a big difference in both efficiency and cost.

The Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station (MOAES) extends CAFNR research to nearly 14,000 acres across the state to meet regional research and demonstration needs of agricultural producers and natural resource managers. MOAES has a storied history of major impacts in advancing science in agriculture, food and natural resources — locally, nationally and globally. These CAFNR laboratories provide research faculty with a wide variety of real-world conditions to test and develop strategies for agricultural production based on the geographical and climatic differences of our diverse state.

Tim Reinbott sits down with Zack Leasor, University of Missouri’s State Extension Specialist for Climate, dive into the Missouri Mesonet and the launch of the new MoHIC weather stations.

Zack explains how these cutting-edge stations are improving the way we monitor weather across the state, providing critical data for farmers, researchers, and communities. Discover how this expanding network is transforming real-time decision-making for Missouri agriculture and beyond.

Extension Agricultural Economist, Ben Brown, provides current insight to the economics of this year's corn and soybean crops, giving some understanding of what's happening in global markets as well. Join Tim Reinbott as Ben dives into what is happening in the agricultural world right now, whether it's about the number of bushels of corn remaining from last year's crops or the effect of the government shutdown on agricultural reports.
