Welcome to the Harvest USA report. I'm Brian Head, an original production of Howard Hale Broadcasting now expanded throughout North America. The No-Till on the Plains Winter Conference is coming up January 21st through the 23rd. Now unfortunately that early bird pricing has expired but there's still time to get registered. That registration link is both on the website at notill.org and on their Facebook page if you're having issues with it there.

Happy New Year from all of us at the Harvest USA report and from all of our co-hosts and guests.

We've been ON-THE-AIR with our trio of Radio programs since 1994, beginning with Cattleman's Corner and Horseman's Corner, then the Harvest USA Report 3 years after that. We are beginning our 31st year on the radio and have expanded our programming. Visit HaleBroadcasting.com.

We really appreciate the participation in our interviews as well as those who listen. And we'd like to thank the many guests that we've had on with very interesting information about different aspects of the cattle business. We've recently learned about things like red light technology, algae, crossbreeding cattle, the world's largest cow, digging up dinosaur bones on the ranch, flood irrigation in Arizona. This year on the Harvest USA report we also learned about pumpkins, cranberries and Christmas trees.

Regardless of who the guest is or what the subject is we want to say thank you for listening and thank you to those who have taken the time to talk with us on the Harvest USA report. We look forward to talking to more of you this year and we dedicate this show today to the memory of Howard Hale who passed away in April of 2023.

I'm humbly blessed by the opportunity to fill those big shoes. We've also had an outstanding year helping those advertise their business through the Harvest USA report as well as building websites, graphical ads, videos and audio ads for those involved in the

world of agriculture. If you need help with any of those things or anything computer or marketing related give us a call. The numbers are on our website.

That's going to do it for today's Harvest USA report.

Thanks again for

listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
