Texas Ranching comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from August 2022 to September 2022.
Drought Impacts, Rancher Advocacy and JBS Price Fixing
The segment addresses the current drought in Texas and its impact on regenerative versus commodity ranching. Texas Slim criticizes the $500 million profit JBS made through price manipulation during the pandemic and urges consumers to support American ranchers directly to secure the food supply.
Local Ranchers, Bitcoin and Beef Integration
Greg Carlwood recommends specific organic meat suppliers like Sunrise Ranch and Polyface Farms, advising listeners to keep physical records of farm addresses in case of internet outages. The discussion introduces Tristan Scott’s book "Bitcoin and Beef" and the work of Texas Slim, who are teaching ranchers to accept cryptocurrency. This decentralization is presented as a safeguard against future financial monitoring and central bank digital currencies.
