Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting off with the latest from the Trump Administration’s promise of a a bailout for farmers, and now time is running out. Crop prices continue to fall below the cost of production. Perhaps that doesn’t hold true for corn, but other crops, especially dairy. In addition, the FSA offices reopened after 3.5 weeks without any money, during harvest season when farmers needed those funds the most.
Next up, a focus on the tariffs, tariff revenue, and those employed by the Department of Agriculture performing their jobs without paychecks.
Lastly, Doug opines how we’re devouring farmland in our country and why we are doing so, without a comprehensive balanced strategy to take care of data centers or solar properties. As Doug is in the process of adding solar farming to his operations, he’s finding the whole ordeal to be a monopoly and a mess.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The American Family Farmer podcast sponsored in part by Caldron
The Safe, proven Way to lose weight. Check it all
out at toploss dot com. Today, I'm poised to look
at the news and try to decipher what is going
on with the administration. So roll with me on this
one because I'm sort of ad living my way through
(00:20):
a number of stories to try to actually gell what's
going on. If anybody can figure out what is going on,
you may be a better person than me, because there
seems to be a large group of people. We talk
about the news that affects family farmers in the first
part of The American Family Farmer every week, and there
are so many different conflicting stories. For example, here's the
(00:44):
first headline that I saw this week that I thought, Okay,
this is worth a moment or two of our time.
Trump promised farmers a bailout. Time is running out. Well
is the bailout coming? Has it come? We all know
that farmers are hurting financially. A lot of senators have
talked about this. A Republican senator from Kansas said, quote,
(01:06):
farmers are very troubled. There's some expectation for help. Emotionally,
it would be great for something to happen soon, but
financially they need to be able to go to their
bankers and say that help is on the way. Administration
officials trying to finalize how much money and so that
was earlier in the week, and then during the course
(01:28):
of the week there was a change. Whether this has
taken place or not. Sometimes I find that Trump says
stuff and it really isn't true. I'm looking at on
the heels of that particular story, something from a couple
of the farm groups with a story about immediate economic
(01:49):
assistence and then furthering the focus on meaningful reforms. The
facts that we are finding ourselves in this fall regarding
crop prices, for example, bottom line is that most of
the prices except I think corn did better this year,
but have gone below the cost of production. That certainly
(02:13):
is true in dairy. And so as we reach the
input costs to do what we do on the farm
reaching record levels this year, and see the number of
farm bankruptcies that are rapidly rising, one wonders what the
hell they're thinking in Washington, where do we get our food?
You're going to get all of it from Argentina or
(02:34):
things like that. And I wonder how many of you
have told your congress person, your senator and set a
letter to the president, like the leaders of the National
Farmers Union in the American Farm Bureau Federation, to restore fairness, competition,
and opportunity in agriculture, because we certainly don't have it
at the moment now. The Secretary of Agriculture, Miss Rawlins,
(03:01):
said that the let's see this was as of also
earlier this week, four billion dollars in farmer assistance was
on hold until the government reopens. Now apparently that changed somewhat.
There was a lot of posturing during the by farm
(03:22):
groups and by the government itself, and so the FSA
offices reopened late in the week and they started. I
guess there's three to four billion dollars in farmer payments,
but it was three and a half weeks without having
any money. And that's of course during harvest season when
(03:44):
we all needed the most. But according to some government reports,
farm Service Agency offices resumed processing delayed payments and farm
loans late last week. Miss Rawlins said that the Farm
Service Agency offices were reopened and she apologized. I don't
(04:05):
know why she apologized, but anyway, so what does this
look like. Much of the three billion dollars in assistance
is distributed through agricultural risk Coverage and price loss coverage
payments that were previously on hold. In addition to the
ARC and the PLC payments, FSA will also resume processing
farm loans, allocating disaster relief payments, and distributing funds through
(04:29):
other programs. So I would like to hear from some
folks if you have any of these you're on any
of these programs, did in fact the money come through?
Because it's been almost a week. There are twenty one
hundred FSA offices around the country. Each office, the county office,
has two employees in it for five days a week.
(04:53):
They're performing normal functions for programs that are funded by
the Commodity Credit Corporation. They'll also accept applications and information
related to programs funded by other sources. So that's kind
of apparently where we are, and all of this as
much as I can figure out, who knows what tomorrow
(05:15):
will bring coming up in a moment, We're going to
dig around a little bit more in the Tariff Department
and see how that may affect all of us that
are American Family Farmers. This the American Family Farmers Show.
I'm Doug Stephan. You can get us every week on
hundreds of radio stations all around the country. And if

Right now, it's time for us to think about the
Halloween weekend that we are in and Thanksgiving coming up
next and eating, eating, eating and eating some more. So
(05:59):
I'm going to repeat this message which I have repeated
for a number of years at this time of the year,
and I started a couple of weeks ago, having you
think about using caltron as a defensive mechanism so you
don't gain weight during the holidays. Eat what you want,
but get on the program now. Don't wait till you've
become heavier to fight that off. If you're on the program,
(06:20):
you'll keep yourself from gaining weight even though you're going
to enjoy yourself. I know the season of eating and
enjoying cookies and pies and all that good stuff. Go
to top looss dot com if you please. Top loss
dot com, which the website for Caltron. The American way
is to be ingenious, and these people were very ingenious.
(06:42):
The doctor and his nurses, it came up with the
formula to lose weight and keep it off the simple way,
non toxic, no drugs, none of that stuff, no stimulants.
It's an amazing program the hundreds and hundreds of thousands
of people have used successfully. So join that group. Go

Speaker 2 (07:43):
If you're one of the millions of Americans behind on
your taxes. If you're afraid to open your mail because
IRS collection letters could be coming, listen carefully. The IRS
is cracking down, taking paychecks, freezinc bank accounts, revoking passports.
That's a fact. But here's what most people don't know.

(08:04):
programs that could save you thousands if you qualify. No
one knows these programs better than the experts at Optima

Speaker 1 (08:42):
All right, I'm continuing to piece together as much information
as I can with you in mind about the things
going on with the US Department of Agriculture. Also on
people's minds are the tariffs and the tariff revenue. Food
inspector and others employed by the Department of Agriculture are
(09:07):
performing their jobs. That is important, you know, you've got
to have that going on, no paychecks. The agency's executive
office remains open, and so the question is on the
SNAP thing, But that doesn't really I've always kind of
railed against that because it doesn't really it's not a
farmer thing. It happened to be put into the USTA.
(09:27):
But the SNAP program is a way for people to
get their benefits for supplemental nutrition program is what it is.
And people don't have money who are in a certain
category of wages are enabled with these SNAP coupons. But anyway,
farmers are harvesting, and the Department of bag even though
(09:52):
they say they're open, apparently the lines are along and
the information is not great. So but one of the
questions they keep asking when they going the offices is
what's the story with the tariffs mister Trump has defended them.
I think the most controversial one here is the suggestion
between the United States and Argentina that the cattle industry
(10:15):
in our company, in our country be somehow put on notice.
Because Trump says, people are complaining the cost of beef
is too much, We're going to bring in Argentinian beef well,
among other things. You know, Trump keeps talking about being
an ally of the farmer. This is not an indication
(10:37):
that he is an ally of the farmer. There's a
big problem in Argentina that certainly Trump doesn't know anything about.
They have a long history of foot and mouth disease there.
As a matter of fact, over the past five years,
Argentinia beef bagine eight hundred million dollars came to the
United States and they bought seven million dollars of US beef.
(10:59):
Why should to be any trade back and forth. We
don't need their beef and they don't need ours. So
this is ludicrous. This is craziness. So a lot of
the politicians involved in this, a lot of the people
in various agencies, have called on Trump to abandon this
effort because he doesn't understand how bad the Argentinian beef
is he says, I love your farms and your farmers,
(11:24):
and YadA YadA ya. Oh that's just a little bunk.
But it has sparked fear in cattle country, that's for sure.
So the farm futures haven't done particularly well. And as
I said a few minutes ago, row crops are at
historic lows. So if the imports from Argentina, even though
(11:44):
maybe three four five percent of what we use for beef,
it'll crash the markets. What we're railing against here is
that farmers are getting paid what it costs with a
little bit of profit, which is the American way we
do things. We start businesses, we have farms growing things,
we want to sell it, so we make a little
bit of a profit so that we can keep our
(12:04):
farms running. What is wrong with this picture? And so
the struggling that we've had this year more than any
with low prices. Yeah, the cattle prices are sky high
at the moment, but bringing in Argentinian beef because of
you know, the reason that he likes Argentina and Argentinian
(12:25):
beef is because he likes the guy that runs Argentina.
He's cut out of the same mold as Trump is,
and it's pretty simple to see that. So at any rate,
toward the end of the week, there was some news
because the president is in Asia, China is going to
go back to buying swry apparently, So there's that news
and that information here on the American Family Farmer. Calatron
(12:49):
is on the top of the food chain, if you will,
when it comes to losing weight, and because it is fall,
it's time to focus on what we seem to get
into every year at this time.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You know, we call it the eating season around here,
and you know, while this season is full of joy,
it is just also full of temptation. So when you
are taking Caltron, it's not only going to help you
lose the inches and the pounds, but it also helps
you make those better decisions because you do have less cravings,
you have more energy, you're not having the afternoon slump
(13:21):
or the crash because Caltrin's working with your body naturally.
So if you need a little bit of help, especially
this time of the year, caltrin is gonna get you there.
The website is toploss dot com. There is a big
fall sale going on right now with discounts on every
single month, so whether you have a little bit of
weight to lose or a lot of weight to lose,
it's a great time to get on.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
Caldron Elizabeth Miller from Toploss dot com and Caldron here
back on the American Family Farmer. I have three different
services that are available for listeners all weekend long on
stations all around the cuntry free. The one that I'm
(14:02):
very proud of is the American Family Farmer Show, which
you can get on podcasts resources, Spotify and iHeart and Apple, etc.
Just by going to americanfamilyfarmershow dot com. The numbers are
up there. And also we have the Good Day Health
Programs with doctor Jack stalkwill in doctor ken Kronhouse to
help you out. Those are basic available programs on radio
(14:24):
stations and also at Good Day Healthshow dot com wherever
you get your podcasts. And then we have the weekly
Talk Radio Countdown Show, which is all about the main
focus of talk radio discussions every week. So those are
all available for you Talk Radio Countdown Show dot com.
How you get that many of these programs are on
the same station, so you can hear on Saturday four
(14:48):
hours of programming, a couple of health hours, the Farm
show and the countdown, and on Sunday many of the
same stations repeat them so that you have access to
all the information and all conversation. My thinking this week,
in this portion of the program has to do with
how we're devouring farmland in our country and why we
(15:09):
are there is not a comprehensive, balanced strategy to take
care of let's say data centers or solar centers. Solar well,
I mean the process, a four year process of attempting
to put solar on a few acres of my farm,
(15:29):
and it is such a it's an unbelievable mess. There
is no follow through. The government programs are stupid, Many
of the people in the government don't know what they're doing,
and we have to deal with also the likes of
in our area, the ever source people are impossible. Just absolutely,
(15:51):
this is monopoly stuff. There are various around the country.
You've got your own power, hopefully maybe if you're in
a rural area you've got power controlled by the local authorities.
But at any rate, so we have solar power. That
is a fracturing discussion, especially in states like New York
(16:12):
where farmers are getting really angry and other farmers, I
know the story, and I think I've told it here
before about one farmer had three hundred acres and he
was losing. He keep borrowing money and he can't pay
it back, so he decided to get out of the
cattle business. He was milking three hundred and fifty cows
and he stopped and he got a solar farm on
almost three hundred acres. And the guy's making three hundred
(16:36):
and I think the first year of the three hundred
and forty thousand dollars, which is more money he's ever
seen in his life. So what do you expect people
to do? Farmers are getting angry because they want to
keep the farms going, and then there is this lack
of follow through the party. The government wants to get
involved in everything except and they try to fix prices
for milk. But through the process that we have buying
(16:59):
from the pool are selling into the pools. There's too
much milk and people are not you know, in rural areas,
you can't really build your own retail center. Places like
where I am, I can build a retail center and
I'm probably going to go back to milking cows and
selling the milk on the farm. But you know, in
(17:19):
the middle of nowhere. You don't have an You've got
to ship the milk. And so instead of shipping milk,
we put a data center on our farm, or we
put a solar center on our farm, and so you know,
you can go to Google and search data centers. Probably
come up with a couple of proposals for a data
center to be built in farmland in Pennsylvania, for example.
(17:44):
This is all about AI and it's very concerning to
me into a lot of other folks. You look at
the headlines you see around the country. Data centers are
proposed on lots of acres of farmland. Let's see, there
was a deal for fifty thousand and acres I saw
about for farmland in Michigan. So what happens to the
(18:04):
ability to prove You're not going to prove at least
with solar centers on. What I came up with was
using solar in pastures. The cows can still pasture in
the farm, you know, and they a building solar panels
up eleven twelve feet and they turn with the sun,
so the pasture land still grows good grass and the
(18:28):
cows can doesn't affect them. They can go grays under
the underneath these solar panels. So you've got that and
that's not as bad as some of these other circumstances.

(11:44):
maybe three four five percent of what we use for beef,
it'll crash the markets. What we're railing against here is
that farmers are getting paid what it costs with a
little bit of profit, which is the American way we
do things. We start businesses, we have farms growing things,
we want to sell it, so we make a little
bit of a profit so that we can keep our
(12:04):
farms running. What is wrong with this picture? And so
the struggling that we've had this year more than any
with low prices. Yeah, the cattle prices are sky high
at the moment, but bringing in Argentinian beef because of
you know, the reason that he likes Argentina and Argentinian
(12:25):
beef is because he likes the guy that runs Argentina.
He's cut out of the same mold as Trump is,
and it's pretty simple to see that. So at any rate,
toward the end of the week, there was some news
because the president is in Asia, China is going to
go back to buying swry apparently, So there's that news
and that information here on the American Family Farmer. Calatron
(12:49):

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Caldron Elizabeth Miller from Toploss dot com and Caldron here
back on the American Family Farmer. I have three different
services that are available for listeners all weekend long on
stations all around the cuntry free. The one that I'm
(14:02):
very proud of is the American Family Farmer Show, which
you can get on podcasts resources, Spotify and iHeart and Apple, etc.
Just by going to americanfamilyfarmershow dot com. The numbers are
up there. And also we have the Good Day Health
Programs with doctor Jack stalkwill in doctor ken Kronhouse to
help you out. Those are basic available programs on radio
(14:24):
stations and also at Good Day Healthshow dot com wherever
you get your podcasts. And then we have the weekly
Talk Radio Countdown Show, which is all about the main
focus of talk radio discussions every week. So those are
all available for you Talk Radio Countdown Show dot com.
How you get that many of these programs are on
the same station, so you can hear on Saturday four
(14:48):
hours of programming, a couple of health hours, the Farm
show and the countdown, and on Sunday many of the
same stations repeat them so that you have access to
all the information and all conversation. My thinking this week,
in this portion of the program has to do with
how we're devouring farmland in our country and why we
(15:09):
are there is not a comprehensive, balanced strategy to take
care of let's say data centers or solar centers. Solar well,
I mean the process, a four year process of attempting
to put solar on a few acres of my farm,
(15:29):
and it is such a it's an unbelievable mess. There
is no follow through. The government programs are stupid, Many
of the people in the government don't know what they're doing,
and we have to deal with also the likes of
in our area, the ever source people are impossible. Just absolutely,
(15:51):
this is monopoly stuff. There are various around the country.
You've got your own power, hopefully maybe if you're in
a rural area you've got power controlled by the local authorities.
But at any rate, so we have solar power. That
is a fracturing discussion, especially in states like New York
(16:12):
where farmers are getting really angry and other farmers, I
know the story, and I think I've told it here
before about one farmer had three hundred acres and he
was losing. He keep borrowing money and he can't pay
it back, so he decided to get out of the
cattle business. He was milking three hundred and fifty cows
and he stopped and he got a solar farm on
almost three hundred acres. And the guy's making three hundred
(16:36):
and I think the first year of the three hundred
and forty thousand dollars, which is more money he's ever
seen in his life. So what do you expect people
to do? Farmers are getting angry because they want to
keep the farms going, and then there is this lack
of follow through the party. The government wants to get
involved in everything except and they try to fix prices
for milk. But through the process that we have buying
(16:59):
from the pool are selling into the pools. There's too
much milk and people are not you know, in rural areas,
you can't really build your own retail center. Places like
where I am, I can build a retail center and
I'm probably going to go back to milking cows and
selling the milk on the farm. But you know, in
(17:19):
the middle of nowhere. You don't have an You've got
to ship the milk. And so instead of shipping milk,
we put a data center on our farm, or we
put a solar center on our farm, and so you know,
you can go to Google and search data centers. Probably
come up with a couple of proposals for a data
center to be built in farmland in Pennsylvania, for example.
(17:44):
This is all about AI and it's very concerning to
me into a lot of other folks. You look at
the headlines you see around the country. Data centers are
proposed on lots of acres of farmland. Let's see, there
was a deal for fifty thousand and acres I saw
about for farmland in Michigan. So what happens to the
(18:04):
ability to prove You're not going to prove at least
with solar centers on. What I came up with was
using solar in pastures. The cows can still pasture in
the farm, you know, and they a building solar panels
up eleven twelve feet and they turn with the sun,
so the pasture land still grows good grass and the
(18:28):
cows can doesn't affect them. They can go grays under
the underneath these solar panels. So you've got that and
that's not as bad as some of these other circumstances.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
