Members of the American Farm Bureau Federation are urging Congress to pass the farm bill ...NOW!

Delegates of The American Farm Bureau adopted policy at its 2024 Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, to support the continued inclusion of AM radios in all vehicles.

The American Farm Bureau Federation has a myriad of policy priorities for the new year, including the next Farm Bill.

The new Farms and Ranches at a Glance Report shows U.S. farming is still a family business.

USDA’s latest report on foreign-owned farmland in the U.S. shows foreign investors own less than two percent of all land in the country.

An American Farm Bureau official says just a short-term extension of maybe a few weeks will be needed to write a new farm bill, and not the year many are worried about, but adds lawmakers should have done their job already.

In spring of 2023 Jeremy Romero, Regional Connectivity Coordinator with the National Wildlife Federation received the news that he had drawn a coveted public land elk tag through New Mexico's big game public draw. Jeremy immediately went to work on building a plan so he could make the most of this tremendous opportunity. Hall of fame automobile racer Bobby Unser said, "Success is where preparation and opportunity meet." With immense appreciation, Jesse Deubel, NMWF's Executive Director accepted an offer by Jeremy to accompany him on this hunt.

There is A LOT to cover from how the pre-hunt planning and preparation contributed to confidence and success during the hunt. In this episode, Jeremy and Jesse discuss all of these details and continue on to discuss meat care, the pack-out and an array of other topics that will benefit any elk hunter. Combined, Jeremy and Jesse have roughly 50 years of experience chasing elk in the backcountry. Whether you are planning your first elk hunting trip or just fine-tuning skills you've spent decades learning, this discussion is for you. From meal planning to gear selection there is so much covered that this conversation is going to be Ahi Va's very first two-part episode. There is so much more that could be written about this, but stop reading and Enjoy the Listen!

The Sandhill crane is believed to be one of oldest living bird species in the world, having occupied our planet for roughly two million years. Throughout their existence migratory Sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) have been migrating thousands of miles between their summer and winter ranges. The changes that have occurred along this route over this span of time is difficult to imagine. In recent history, human impacts had a devastating effect on the population of this species. By the 1900’s habitat loss by human development and overhunting had reduced the population of these birds to near extinction. Today, the Sandhill cranes that depend on New Mexico for winter habitat are thriving. This astonishing recovery has occurred despite estimates that more than 90% of the historic wetland habitat in the Middle Rio Grande has been lost during the last two hundred years. From 1935 to 1989 it's been said that the Middle Rio Grande Valley saw more than a fifty percent reduction in wetlands. Fortunately for our Sandhill Cranes, in 1939 the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge was established to provide critical stopover and winter grounds for migrating wildlife. On this episode of the Ahi Va podcast, Jesse Deubel speaks with two of the nation's most experienced professionals who have been instrumental in the continued success of both Sandhill cranes and the habitat on which they depend.

Alan Hamilton, Ph.D works with the New Mexico Wildlife Federation as the North American Wetland Conservation Act (NAWCA) Program Director. In this role he has led the implementation of three Standard NAWCA grants that combined protected and enhanced 5,467 acres of wetlands in the Middle Rio Grande. Dr. Hamilton is also the founder and board president of Rio Grande Return. Rio Grande Return is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to protecting New Mexico’s rivers, streams, springs, seeps, and the unique habitats and diverse wildlife they support. Matt Boggie, Ph.D is a wildlife ecologist and his research has centered on integrating statistical approaches to investigate how environmental change and natural and anthropogenic disturbances modulate the behavioral responses of wildlife and influence the habitat and distribution of wildlife populations. Through effective partnerships, his research has contributed to the development and implementation of broad-scale conservation strategies. He places a high value on bringing together partners and stakeholders to address shared conservation priorities and combining efforts to deliver actionable outcomes His doctoral research included a detailed investigation into the winter ecology of the Rocky Mountain Population of Greater Sandhill Cranes in the Middle Rio Grande Valley and assessed how the population responds to landscape change.

December 1st-3rd, 2022 Friends of Bosque del Apache will be hosting "Festival of the Cranes + Virtual Crane Fiesta." This event is a stunning celebration of Sandhill cranes and everything their history and resilience can teach us about ourselves, the natural world and intersection that exists between the two. Hope to see you at the festival. Until then, "Enjoy the Listen!"

The Recovering America's Wildlife Act [RAWA] is a crucial tool moving through Congress which will help state wildlife agencies around the country do more to support species of greatest conservation need. Every species on the planet has a purpose and a role to play in the health of our diverse ecosystems. Maintaining and promoting maximum biodiversity on the landscape is critical for robust species of all wildlife. Join us as we speak with Richard "The Bugman" Fagerlund about the importance of insects to the natural world. We talk about the devastating effects humans have had on insect populations. We also explore ways and reasons to rethink how we approach sharing our world with the wild others. From bumblebees to bison, the passage of RAWA will give us the resources we need to ensure future generations enjoy a planet with thriving wildlife populations.
