 Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on Dairy Month and the dairy market in the United States and how the tariffs are creating a domino effect for both an upside and a downside. Continuing with cattle talk, the culling of cows is on the rise due to illnesses in cattle, poor milk supply, and an inability to produce as much protein in butterfat. Then, Doug introduces us to Erin Bradley and Jesse Leadbetter of Freshlist (freshlist.com), based in North Carolina. Founded in 2014, Freshlist was born from the belief that farmers and farmland are among the most valuable resources, with a mission to make sustainable family farming a financially viable way of life once again. The main question they ask themselves in every endeavor is, “is it good for the farmer?” They focus on challenges farmers face, provide support to the farming community in Charlotte, and connect community members with local farmers by cultivating a better food system. Additionally, Freshlist doesn't just talk the talk about providing healthy food by connecting the community with farmers, but they walk the walk with the purpose of everyone is deserving of access to nutritious food. Last, and certainly not least, Doug opines the harsh reality that most farmers are in jeopardy, and the question of “is this worth it” remains . . . especially with the horrible Spring weather not making anything any easier. There are no do overs in the growing season and the weather is the single biggest opponent a farmer contends with. Now more than ever, it is important for food dollars to remain local in support of small farmers and the communities at large. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

This week, we talk with Katie Dotterer about her experiences as a dairy farmer and as an advocate for the industry. 

We talk crop updates, a Senate Ag Committee Field hearing, Farmers' Market Week, the announcement of District Farm Families and more.

A 2021 survey of food consumers by Kerry indicated that https://explore.kerry.com/sustainability-whitepaper-2021 (62% of North American consumers) sustainability as a strong influence when making food and beverage purchases, and say it's a greater priority when selecting dairy, meat, or alternative protein products. At the same time, consumer interest in plant-based products is growing – but is it more sustainable? Important to our discussion, the https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/increase-in-atmospheric-methane-set-another-record-during-2021 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently reported) that “global emissions of methane surged by a record amount in 2021: 17 parts per billion, the largest amount recorded since systematic measurements began in 1983. Methane is 84 times more potent than carbon but breaks down faster. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/07/methane-emissions-surged-by-a-record-amount-in-2021-noaa-says-.html ((CNBC).) Critics are often quick to point the finger at agriculture, but may not know that cattle are actually part of the solution.  This increased awareness and interest from consumers and the reality of our ever-changing environment means farmers – particularly those produce meat, milk and eggs – are receiving questions and input about how their farms impact the environment not only from grocery shoppers but also business investors. A study released by the International Food Information Council IFIC: https://foodinsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IFIC-Regenerative-Ag-Consumer-Survey.pdf (Consumer Perspectives on Regenerative Ag) in February found that over half of those consumers surveyed have heard of organic farming, crop rotation and sustainable farming; fewer are familiar with regenerative agriculture (in research file); 4/10 consumers believe organic foods are more nutritious; 1/3 want food grown using regenerative ag (but few know what that is); 35% would purchase more expensive cereal if grown utilizing regenerative ag. But the good news is while many misconceptions exist about the sustainability of animal agriculture, data and science bring clarity to the sustainability story, helping stakeholders from farm to fork understand the progress made so far and focus on continuous improvement. In this episode, guests will discuss the farm to table perspective on sustainability including what consumers are looking for and the latest sustainability trends – and why it's important for agriculture to engage in the conversation about sustainability, whether on social media, in the board room, with financial institutions, or with other food stakeholders, what we can do better to be more effective and reach a broader audience, and the research and data that can help share a realistic view of what's happening on the farm. They will also discuss what farmers in the dairy and beef industries (in honor of Dairy Month in June) are doing today to continue improving their operations. Guests will discuss: The latest consumer insights on sustainability and consumer wants/drivers. Existing data and science that helps tell the on-farm sustainability story, and how it's helping bridge the gap between perception and reality. What are farmers doing now, and what are they aspiring to do in the future, to continue building on past success in natural resource management and production. Regenerative agriculture – what it is and how it helps How animal agriculture is actually part of the solution – not the problem How everyone plays a role in continuous improvement and a successful sustainable story   Podcast guests:  Tara Vander Dussen, New Mexico Milkmaid – Environmental Scientist/Dairy farmer/online influencer and co-founder of Elevate Ag - https://www.elevateyouragstory.com/ (https://www.elevateyouragstory.com/) Jamie Jonker – Chief Science Officer and Vice President of Sustainability & Scientific Affairs for...

This week we are joined by Patty McDowell Holbert from the Kentucky Dairy Development Council to talk a little about dairy farming in Kentucky. 

Where is your milk from? I'm going to let you in on a little secret – it's printed right on the packaging, but you have to know where to look and how to decode it. Take 5 mins. to learn the simple easy way to feel a little more connected to this grocery stable we bring into our homes every week (sometimes more if you drink milk like my family). Plus, it's a fun activity to do with your kids and help them learn where their food comes from. . . June is Dairy Month! All month long on Inside the Bullseye's podcast and social media pages, we'll explore how your favorite dairy products are made, where they come from and meet the people behind the process.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with announcing that June is officially Dairy Month. Trending right now are the prices for cows and how they are market based. Record high beef prices are being seen right now, as the grilling season begins, and the cost of propane is rising. Watch out! Avion Flu is also on the rise. Next, we meet Jim Roberts, Chairman of the Board - Farm to Consumer Foundation. www.f2cfnd.org The foundation's mission is to educate and bring local farmers and customers together. They have a report on how farmers and consumers in Michigan were able to form a co-existent relationship with the Department of Ag, so fresh milk could be produced and distributed. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the need for all farms to make an attempt to become self-sustaining.

It's spring time and that means babies on the farm! In today's conversation, Brady Zuck, a beef producer from Northern Wisconsin, is back to talk about the miracle of life (you can catch our previous conversation - Cows: More than meat and milk Ep. 12). Right now on his farm, he's getting about 15+ calves a day – let's just say it's keeping him very busy. He explains how this process compares to human pregnancy and birth, the recordkeeping farmers use to make sure you're getting the best quality and consistency in your favorite beef products and just how quickly these new little babies will be up and walking after birth – it's truly just minutes. . . Amy HERE - Calving season is truly my favorite time of year of the farm. I have so many wonderful memories growing up on my family's beef farm in Northern Indiana. I can also say now that I'm a mom myself, I have a new appreciation for what these animals can do. I'm so excited to take you on this journey today! . . May is Beef Month and as it comes to a close we look ahead to June which is Dairy Month. Throughout the month of June, we will be taking you to dairy farms and exploring how all of our favorite dairy products make it to our grocery store shelves. We'll even explore some fun facts about your favorite products. You can see more of this by following along in our extended conversations on social media.

June is Dairy Month in Tennessee. The month long celebration got started with the annual June Dairy Month Luncheon where 4-H Dairy Chairmen were recognized. The post It's Officially June Dairy Month In Tennessee appeared first on Tennessee Farm Bureau.

On May 31, 2022, Newsmakers Host Lisa Pugh sat down with Wisconsin Farmers Union representatives Sarah Lloyd and Tina Hinchley to share their outlook on the dairy industry and potential policy solutions. June is Dairy Month and Wisconsin, America's Dairyland, ranks 2nd in the nation for milk production and first for cheese. The dairy industry is the backbone to our state's economy providing $45.6 Billion in economic activity. Yet, the industry is changing rapidly: the number of small family farms continues to decline, farmers are struggling with inflation, a volatile milk market and a labor shortage as well as rising suicide rates.

Join Jennifer Dowd with ProTrition Feed as she interviews a fourth-generation dairy farmer in Middle Tennessee. The farmer has faced the hardships of moving across the country with her family and dairy cows to stake roots in Chapel Hill, Tennessee. Through much perseverance, this individual has managed to become a huge advocate for the agriculture industry across the United States. Listen to learn more!
