The battle for year round E15 is not new, but in the last several weeks, it has become increasingly urgent. Though lawmakers have expressed support again and again for expanded rules that would create additional demand for ethanol around the country, farmers and their advocates continue to wait for changes, and now with a gigantic corn crop about to flood the market, and hamstring prices, any bit of extra demand could provide relief.To help us understand where the E15 story currently stands, DTN Environmental Editor Todd Neeley joins us today with analysis of the latest announcements. The conversation continues with updates on the Small Refinery Exemption issue — a longer range issue that's been lingering at the EPA and in the courts since the first Trump administration. Then we'll get updates on the latest RFS volume announcements and what's happening on the trade front as the U.S. disputes Brazilian biofuel tariff levels. We'll also talk through the latest news on the 45Z tax credit, a recent plant acquisition, and what might be ahead as more federal uncertainty — and a potential government shutdown — loom.

This year's baking heat has had a beneficial impact on damsons and dahlias.The Lyth Valley in south Cumbria is known for its damson orchards, a dazzle of snowy white blossom in spring and this year creaking under the weight of a bumper harvest. It's such a bumper crop that some growers have more damsons than they know what to do with.In Gloucestershire dahlia growers are enjoying a good growing season. These bright autumn flowers originally come from Mexico, and their popularity here as a cut flower is growing. Weather patterns are changing, and farmers in the usually dry eastern counties of England are having to adapt to more sudden and unpredictable downpours. This water runs off the land, and rather than giving crops a drink, it ends up on country lanes taking precious soil with it. We join a water workshop in Norfolk where farmers are learning how they can do more to contain and re-use water.Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares why he created the American Family Farmer program before jumping into the news affecting family farmers, beginning with the news of prices for dairy going down, while production has surged, and cheese exports are on the rise.Then, Doug goes over the numbers of who owns what farms — family farms comprise 95% of all U.S. farms.Shifting focus, Doug opines on people who grew up on the farm, but moved away, and wish they could go back to being on the farm. This also points at how many family farmers have secondary jobs to help keep things afloat, and the disgusting reality that a majority of people, especially of new farmers, can't make a living solely working on and running their farm. This brings back a common question, “Is farming really worth it?” Doug references his conversation with David Buck of Guardians Dairy, an insightful conversation which you can hear HERE.  Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
