Good news for beer lovers and farmers alike! Busch Light's fan-favorite "Corn Can" design is back on store shelves nationwide. This limited-edition packaging supports a worthy cause - Farm Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping family farms in crisis.

For every case of Corn Cans sold until June 2024, Busch Light will donate $0.10 to Farm Rescue, with a total contribution target of $200,000. This strengthens Busch Light's longstanding partnership with the charity.

Since its founding in 2006, Farm Rescue has provided critical assistance to over 1,000 farm families facing hardship due to illness, injury, or natural disasters. Busch Light's partnership has been instrumental in these efforts, contributing over $1.2 million to date.

The 2020 release of Corn Cans directly funded Farm Rescue's expansion into Kansas. Busch Light remains committed to supporting farmers and ranchers through ongoing campaigns and limited-edition products like the Corn Cans.

By raising awareness for Farm Rescue, Busch Light encourages struggling families to seek assistance. Farm Rescue offers vital resources like equipment, volunteers, and support with planting, harvesting, and livestock feeding.

Busch Light recognizes the essential role farmers play in the American economy and food production. Through initiatives like the Corn Cans, they aim to give back to these communities and the families who sustain them.

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
