This week on the About Violence Podcast, we are joined by Christopher Webb and Ross Bennett to talk about the American animal feed industry and the overall American food supply chain. Cannon Republic strives to mitigate the negative effects human development and expansion have had on the health and wellness of our soils - as with healthy soils, comes a healthy herd, the global herd. The founding principles of Land Stewardship, Conservation, Rehabilitative Agriculture, management of Beneficial Soil Biology, Education and community strength will form Cannon Republic into an unmatched resource for the American Farmer and Rancher. Cannon Republic prides itself in educating the public on the benefits of responsible land use, importance of water conservation, and necessity of holistic feeding approaches to wildlife and livestock. Christopher Webb is a lifelong conservationist and outdoorsman. Holding an Environmental Science and Geology degree from Texas Christian University, followed with a Masters Degree in Natural Resource and Environmental Law from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, Chris has committed himself to a life pursuing the creation of value from the responsible use of Environmental Resources. The pairing of his focus on the Re-establishment of Native Grasslands within the State of Texas with his passion found within responsible cattle ranching furthered the pursuit of soil health and responsible environmental stewardship, and eventually led Chris to establish Cannon Republic with the help of his partners in 2021. Ross Bennett, is The Texas Tailor and a Co-Founder of Cannon Republic. For over a decade Ross has provided clients with unique authentic experiences, blending custom design with a skill for coordinating his diverse client networks towards mutual growth and success. Ross is an avid hunter and outdoorsman, who relocated his family to Pearsall, TX full time to pursue a life tied to nature. Established within the diverse local South Texas communities of farmers, cattle ranchers and fellow outdoorsmen, Ross continues to connect like-minded individuals from all backgrounds to our mission at Cannon Republic. Coleman Hemphill is a 7th generation Texan with deep roots in Texas ranching and agriculture. His passions stem from his faith and experience with integrative medicine, legislative advocacy, and regenerative agriculture. His broad background has led to joint research projects with Johnson Space Center NASA, recognition in the Texas House and Senate, and partnerships with Texas A&M University. Coleman offers great insight into regenerative farming practices, regulatory compliance, land stewardship, and “Whole Herd Health”, the mission of this company he helped found.
