  • In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we welcome Rod Pinkston, the CEO and innovative force behind JAGER PRO. Rod is a pioneer in the world of feral hog control, known for inventing the M.I.N.E. Trapping System and introducing thermal shooting techniques that have transformed the industry. With a 24-year career in the U.S. Army, including time with the elite Olympic Shooting Team, Rod's unique background and expertise have positioned him as a leader in effective wild pig management.

    We dive deep into the story of JAGER PRO, the first private company to adapt military-grade technology for controlling feral hog populations. Their team, comprised of 10 retired soldiers with over 220 years of combined military experience, is dedicated to providing innovative solutions to combat the severe damage caused by wild pigs. We discuss their Integrated Wild Pig Control (IWPC®) model, which aims for 100% capture or kill performance, preventing pigs from surviving, reproducing, or becoming trap-educated.

    Rod also shares insights from his recent research paper, Rethinking Our Approach to Wild Pig Control Data and Field Tasks, where he tested various trapping methods and highlighted the importance of whole-sounder removal for effective population control. We explore the findings from this study, including the effectiveness of mobile corral traps and the need for improved data collection under initiatives like the 2018 Farm Bill.

    This episode provides a fascinating look into the challenges and successes of modern hog control methods, the impact of military tactics on feral swine management, and the future innovations that could further improve efficiency. Whether you’re a farmer, rancher, or just curious about wildlife control, you won’t want to miss this episode.

  • When talking with Mike Newland from PERC about how farmers benefit from using propane, here are some key points to cover:

    Cost Efficiency: Propane is often cheaper than traditional fuels like diesel or gasoline. This can lead to significant savings on fuel expenses, allowing farmers to boost profitability and reduce overall operational costs

    Environmental Benefits: Propane burns cleaner than conventional fuels, producing fewer greenhouse gas emissions. This helps farmers meet sustainability goals and align their operations with environmentally friendly practices​

    Reliability & Performance: Propane-powered equipment, such as irrigation engines, delivers consistent and reliable performance, ensuring crops get the water they need during critical growing periods. Its versatility across different farming systems also supports a wide range of agricultural needs​

    Incentives & Support: Farmers can take advantage of financial incentives, rebates, and tax credits for adopting propane-powered systems. PERC, for instance, offers programs that offset the initial investment, making it easier for farmers to transition to propane​

    Versatility: Propane is used in multiple farming applications, including grain drying, space heating, water heating, and flame weeding. It’s also highly reliable for power generation in remote locations​

    Bulk Fill Opportunities & On-Site Storage: Farmers can benefit from bulk fill programs, allowing them to lock in better pricing by buying propane in larger quantities. On-site propane storage is crucial, especially during peak farming seasons, ensuring a reliable fuel supply without the need for frequent deliveries​

    Early Season Discounts & Early Tank Fills: Discuss how early season discounts and tank fills give farmers the chance to purchase propane at lower prices before demand spikes. These early fills prepare farmers for critical operations like grain drying or irrigation during harvest

    Grain Drying & the Grain Drying Calculator: Propane is widely used for grain drying, especially in unpredictable weather. The propane grain drying calculator helps farmers estimate fuel needs and costs, optimizing drying times and fuel consumption​

    Building Heating with Propane: Propane is also effective for heating farm buildings like barns and greenhouses, providing efficient and consistent heat, especially in cold seasons​

    Husker Harvest Days Promo & Incentives: Highlight the special promotions farmers can access during events like Husker Harvest Days, and touch on the Propane Farm Incentive Program, which offers rebates for adopting propane-powered equipment​

    Irrigation Cost Calculator & Propane-Powered Irrigation: Propane-powered irrigation systems help lower operational costs and ensure consistent performance. The irrigation cost calculator can assist farmers in determining how much they could save by switching to propane

    New Propane Equipment for 2025: Encourage discussions on upgrading farm equipment to propane-powered options for 2025, emphasizing long-term savings, improved efficiency, and environmental benefits​

  • Kevan “Flea” Hueftle

    We are proud to present U.S. Paralympic Athlete, Rancher, and Father Kevan Hueftle. In 2005 Kevan also known as “Flea” was involved in a hunting accident that led to an amputation of his left leg below the knee. Consequently, Flea struggled with alcoholism due to the tragic loss of his limb and the constant pain he suffered as an amputee. Through perseverance and grit, Flea decided to defy the odds and would eventually compete on the US Track and Field teams and medal as an elite Paralympic Athlete. Kevan is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with limb loss or addiction.

    Kevan is a husband, father, rancher, and motivational speaker. He has been a member of the U.S. Paralympic track and field team.

    Works at Lazy Creek Beef Company LLC

    starting when he was 20 years old. He had been hunting and while pulling the gun out of the truck, it went off, shooting him in the foot. After several surgeries his leg was amputated below the knee.

    “To say my life has been easy … there have been parts that have been harder than others,” he said. “I’m still living a dream of mine.”

    At the time of the accident, he was on the track and field team at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

    Hueftle talked about fitting a prosthetic. He said the first seven years were miserable and the prosthetic didn’t fit. He also talked about the depression that followed the amputation.“I knew it was going to be tough, but it was really, really hard. I was an alcoholic for seven years. I was a person that I would never look up to.”
