Beth Hoffman went to the farm as a spouse, now she's published a book about her transition to farmer and author from journalist. We bring back Beth to discuss the year on the farm with changes in demand, new offerings on the property and what being a good neighbor means in Monroe County, Iowa.

Can we balance the books of American Agriculture? Beth Hoffman an agricultural journalist, university professor, and Iowa farmer joins the podcast to discuss her new book, “Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America”. Our wide-ranging conversation centers around dispelling the myths about America's farms and farmers, and the reality of the punishing economics of modern farming. www.femalefarmerproject.org

Beth Hoffman, author of "Bet the Farm, the Dollars and Cents of Growing Food in America," shares her insights on regenerative farming, the challenges farmers face, and the impact of government programs and subsidies on the agricultural landscape. The episode also delves into the importance of sustainable practices, land conservation, and the involvement of Native American groups in managing the land. A call is made for a shift in perspective, where land is viewed as more than just an investment but a shared resource requiring responsible caretaking • Beth discusses the economic aspects of agriculture, offering a fair and empathetic narrative. • Religion plays a significant role in rural communities as a gathering place and an important part of people's lives. • The current hiring system in agriculture needs improvement to enable greater access to employment opportunities and support for farmers. • The prevailing reliance on government subsidies raises concerns about the sustainability of the agricultural industry. • Promoting diversity in farming and supporting alternative crops can help address supply and demand imbalances. • Diversification of crops within the same state presents a significant opportunity for farmers. • The idea of regenerative agriculture emphasizes the role of future generations in land stewardship. • Beth offers a fresh perspective on regenerative farming and the economics of agriculture. • The episode explores the state of agriculture and the reasons behind farmers' choices, particularly growing corn and beans. • The conversation delves into the cultural significance of food and the connections people have with it. • Labor-intensive nature: Regenerative agriculture requires moving cattle every day, which is time-consuming and challenging. The farmer also mentions the additional tasks involved in marketing, finding customers, and dealing with processors and distributions. • Land should not only be seen as an investment but as an important resource that requires responsible stewardship for the benefit of future generations. • The financial mechanics of land conservation involve tax breaks and potential funding options. • Cheaper land and labor in other countries pose a significant challenge to the American market. • Land prices have historically fluctuated, and a significant drop could occur again, causing concerns about interest rates and farmers' economic well-being. • Land should be viewed as more than just an investment and should be cared for with consideration and responsibility for the common good. • Returning land to Native American groups would require entities outside of specific tribal nations to control the land.

Beth Hoffman was a college professor and agriculture journalist for years before she and her husband picked up and moved from San Francisco to his family's farm in Iowa. In her book Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America, she recounts the story of transitioning the farm from commodity corn and soybean cropping to grass-finished cattle and produce––and the challenges they faced along the way, from fencing to finances.  

Donna and Lonna talk to author Beth Hoffman about her book Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America.   This book is a clear-eyed view of farming. Beth has a long career as a journalist writing about food issues and is now farming with her husband on Whippoorwill Creek Farm in southern Iowa.

The use of protein degraders is a promising area of emerging small molecule therapies. Rather than inhibit disease-causing proteins, degraders use a natural cellular process to break them down. Origami Therapeutics is using its proprietary drug discovery platform to develop novel protein degraders to target neurodegenerative diseases. The approach allows the company to target proteins that are considered undruggable because they lack an identified binding site. We spoke to Beth Hoffman, founder and CEO of Origami, about its platform for developing degraders, its focus on neurodegenerative diseases, and how its looking to potential partners to exploit the full potential of its platform technology.

On the latest episode of the DMPL Podcast, host Aaron Gernes sits down with Beth Hoffman, author of Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America. The book traces the journey Beth and her husband have taken as they started farming on a 5th generation family farm in south central Iowa.  Beth was a long-time food and agriculture reporter, covering the industry for 25 years before moving with her husband John to begin operating Whippoorwill Creak Farm. The book explores the challenges they faced as they transitioned the farm from a conventional operation to an organic and grass-fed operation, as well as the challenges faced in making money in agriculture as a whole.  Mark your calendars: Beth will be at the Central Library on Thursday, July 21, at 5:30 PM!

In this episode we dive deep again into the topic of protein degradation and how it can be leveraged to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Our guest today is Dr. Beth Hoffman, the founder, CEO and President to Origami Therapeutics. Beth's career is a showcase of remarkable success in the biotech industry. She spent almost 25 years working in CNS drug discovery and was involved in the development of over 30 therapeutic molecules. Most notably she led the discovery and development of a few first-in-class blockbuster drugs for cystic fibrosis at Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Her most recent venture, Origami Therapeutics, is focusing on developing protein degraders aiming at neurodegenerative disorders and, specifically, Huntington's Disease.Together with Beth we discussed: ◦ The evolution of drug discovery & development over the last 30 years ◦ How protein degraders work ◦ Role of protein structure prediction algorithms in therapy design ◦ Possibility of using targeted protein degradation for treatment of Huntington's diseases ◦ Differences between treating familial vs sporadic neurodegenerative disorders ◦ The future of personalized medicine ◦ Actionable advice for young biotech entrepreneursMake sure to download the full show notes with our guest's bio, links to their most notable work, and our recommendations for further reads on the topic of the episode at pmedcast.com

Three years ago, Beth Hoffman left her career as a college professor and journalist in San Francisco for the life of farming. She and her husband, John Hogeland, headed to Iowa with $19,000 of savings and a vague and ambiguous plan to take over as the fifth generation on his family's 530-acre farm. The simple life, however, turned out to be not so simple. “Instead of a romantic life of growing tomatoes and raising happy cows,” she writes, “farm life is actually a job full of spreadsheets, receipts, and file folders.” The public, she eventually realized, is similarly confused and uninformed about the realities of farming. Moreover, our existing agrarian myths serve mostly to pit farmers against each other while trapping them in endless cycles of debt and self-exploitation.

Beth Hoffman spent years covering agriculture as a journalist. She later moved into a professor role and now she can add farmer to the profile. She moved with her husband back to his family farm in Iowa with a goal of doing farming differently.

Did you know that the majority of farmers struggle to make a living? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and registered dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Beth Hoffman, journalist and author of Bet the Farm: Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America (Island Press, 2021). Hoffman describes the little known hard economic realities of farming and exposes myths we've been fed about American agriculture.  Her book offers potential solutions to achieve truly resilient and sustainable farming.

Why would a woman walk away from a successful career as a journalist and professor, a comfortable home and a good life to become a struggling farmer?That's exactly what Beth Hoffman did. She had spent decades as a reporter covering food and agriculture for outlets including NPR and The Guardian and taught at the University of San Francisco. Then in 2019, she and her new husband moved from their home in San Francisco back to his family's 530-acre farm in Iowa to try their hands at farming. The experience has been spiritually rewarding but financially sobering.Half of America's 2 million farms made less than $300 in 2019, according to Hoffman. That's a recipe for poverty, not success.Hoffman tells her story in a new book, Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America. She explores issues from how the changing climate is affecting farms, to the financial and emotional toll of farming, to the obstacles confronting farmers of color. She advocates for a new narrative about farming that includes an honest reckoning with the harsh realities that farmers face while feeding the country.

In her new book, Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America, Beth Hoffman tells the story of how she and her husband moved onto Iowa land owned by her father-in-law and began raising cattle, goats, and growing various crops. But unlike many farming stories, this is not a romanticized tale of waking at dawn to gather eggs in your apron pocket and cooking a beautiful breakfast with homemade jam and bread, then heading out to the fields to weed your lush vegetable patch… Alright, we're exaggerating a little bit. But that's kind of the vibe you get from food memoirs these days. And Bet the Farm is not that. Hoffman is brutally honest about the hardships she and her husband face in their farming venture—and that's with land available and a good chunk of start-up money. She talks in depth about how much harder things are for farmers who don't have these resources.   In this interview on the Bottom-Up Revolution podcast (and in Hoffman's book, if you read it), you're going to notice a lot of parallels between the challenges of farming and the challenges of small towns in America, and you'll also hear Hoffman talk about why farms and towns need each other to survive.  Additional Show Notes Order Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America and use code STRONG25 for 25% off your purchase today.

Beth Hoffman was living the good life: she had a successful career as a journalist and professor, a comfortable home in San Francisco, and plenty of close friends and family. Yet in her late 40s, she and her husband decided to leave the big city and move to his family ranch in Iowa—all for the dream of becoming a farmer, to put into practice everything she had learned over decades of reporting on food and agriculture. There was just one problem: money.Half of America's two million farms made less than $300 in 2019. Between rising land costs, ever-more expensive equipment, the growing uncertainty of the climate, and few options for health care, farming today is a risky business. For many, simply staying afloat is a constant struggle. Beth Hoffman shares the story of the struggles faced by farmers and paths to a more just and sustainable food system, that starts on the farm. https://island press.org/books/bet-farm
