In the Media

As seen on RFD-TV: two appearances on the ASFMRA Land Report.

RFD-TV is the flagship of RFD Network — the first 24-hour television network devoted to rural America, founded in 2000 and still independent and family-owned. Across cable and satellite, the RFD+ streaming platform, digital channels, and Rural Radio on SiriusXM, the network reaches more than 50 million households with programming rooted in agriculture, land, and rural business.

In August 2026, the American Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA) invited Daniel onto its Land Report segment of RFD-TV’s Market Day Report. The conversation covered land values across the Southeast, what data-center development is doing to rural land markets, where timberland values stand, and why water is becoming the value driver to watch.

Back on the Land Report: a Southeast land & ag market update.

ASFMRA brought Daniel back on September 30, 2026 for a second Land Report segment. Four questions in five minutes: how Georgia farm families can protect land through conservation easements and what makes an easement appraisal hold up, what landowners should know before signing a utility’s transmission-line easement offer, where used farm equipment values are headed after three hard years in Southern row crops, and what drought and herd-rebuilding costs mean for Southeast pasture and ranch values.

The long version, with every figure rechecked since the taping, is in the newsletter: Five Minutes on the RFD-TV Land Report: The Long Version.

On the Mine EX-Plorers podcast: what is your mine really worth?

Mine EX-Plorers is the video podcast of Burgex Mining Consultants, hosted by co-founders Stuart and Crystal Burgess. Founded in 2010 and based in Utah, with an office in Phoenix, Burgex stakes and maintains mining claims, prepares technical reports, and evaluates mines and quarries for explorers, producers, and aggregate operators across the western United States. The firm also built Mineralocity, a data platform that maps every commercial mine in the country. The show covers exploration, mining history, construction aggregates, and the business of running a resource company.

In October 2026, the Burgesses invited Daniel on for Episode 85. The conversation centered on what a mine is actually worth — and on the valuation questions that come up in the other specialized industries our team works across.

Example Engagement

Watch a full session: Appraising Real vs. Personal Property.

Twenty-five minutes, recorded in April 2025 for Kidder University, Kidder Mathews’ professional education series. The session takes on the line that lenders, litigators, and CPAs trip over most often — where the real property ends and the personal property begins — and why the answer moves collateral positions, purchase-price allocations, and property-tax outcomes.

It is representative of what a program built for your audience looks like: practical frameworks, examples drawn from real engagements, and plain answers to the questions your members bring in the door.

Presented April 2025 for Kidder University · 24 minutes · A version of this session can be adapted for CLE or CPE credit.
