This week on The American Family Farmer, host and lifelong farmer Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) shares critical updates impacting small farms across the country.Doug opens the show with a look at the ongoing immigration enforcement issues that are threatening family farms. The American Farm Bureau Federation has expressed serious concern over reports of renewed immigration crackdowns that are removing essential, hardworking laborers from small farm operations.Next, Doug dives into the challenges facing the beef cattle industry — including the reemergence of screwworm infestations coming up from Mexico, raising alarm for U.S. livestock. On top of that, an increase in tick activity is causing a surge in infestations across farms this season. Despite these concerns, there's good news: the cattle market remains strong, with continued high demand.Turning to the honeybee crisis, Doug reports that bee colonies are down by two-thirds, due to a combination of migratory stress, parasitic threats, and erratic weather — especially recent floods across the U.S. Given the vital role bees play in agriculture, Doug encourages anyone with the interest and ability to consider starting a colony of their own to support pollination and food production.In his “Doug's Opine” segment, Doug revisits his recent conversation with Julia Barton from the Organic Farmers Association (episode: "Empowering Organic Farmers: A Conversation with Julia Barton of the Organic Farmers Association"). He reflects on the challenges surrounding the “organic” label — a term that has been increasingly compromised by government red tape and industrial agriculture interests. Doug shares his strong belief that real organic farming should return to its roots — before chemical farming — and stresses the importance of knowing your farmer. As he says, if your organic food comes from a local farm, it's far more trustworthy than products from big ag brands bearing the same label.

This week on The American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan welcomes Julia Barton, Farmer Services Director at the Organic Farmers Association (OFA), for an in-depth look at how OFA is advocating for a healthier, more equitable future for American agriculture.Julia brings over a decade of hands-on experience supporting organic, transitional, and sustainable farmers.

On this episode of Good Day Health, host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) dive into this week's top health stories and answer listener questions with expert insights. First up: AI in medicine. Dr. Ken shares how he prefers to think of artificial intelligence as “Assisted Intelligence,” explaining how new technologies are enhancing diagnostics and patient care. One example? Advanced AI models can now analyze heart MRIs and medical records to detect subtle scar patterns that predict sudden cardiac death — a game-changer in preventive cardiology. Speaking of prevention, Dr. Ken emphasizes a growing “fourth pillar” in the fight against heart disease: vaccinations for common infections, joining the ranks of diet, exercise, and medication. Then, Doug shares a wild personal story: after days of ear pain and a misdiagnosis of infection, the true culprit was revealed — a ladybug stuck in his ear. This leads into a broader discussion on ear health and new research showing that wearing hearing aids may actually improve your social life. Also on the brain: New research finds that the human hippocampus — the brain's memory center — continues generating new neurons even in old age, offering new hope for cognitive longevity. Listener questions include:Is Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) offering more than weight loss benefits, such as protecting limbs in patients with Type 2 diabetes?What's up with the new COVID-19 variant XFG (“Stratus”) and its unusual symptom — a raspy voice?Join Doug and Dr. Ken for a fast-paced, informative hour packed with useful health tips, surprising discoveries, and practical advice for everyday wellness.Webstie: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on President Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” and how it will affect farmers. What should farmers know about his bill? Major cuts to the SNAP program, stricter qualifications for recipients, and passing costs off to the states. Next up, the continued issues of the screwworm and the problems these invasive, flesh eating pests are causing. ICYMI, a screwworm is a type of parasitic fly larva that fees on living flesh of warm blooded animals, including humans. Its name comes from the maggot's appearance as it burrows into a wound, resembling a screw being driven into wood. Th screwworm can cause severe damage and even death if left untreated. The USDA is making plans to better prepare farmers should these pests get into their herds. Moving on, Doug shares a list of foods with the highest amounts of microplastics. They are apples and carrots (most commonly used in juice cleanses). Other foods with higher levels of microplastics include rice, pink Himalayan sea salt, sugar, tea, plant-based nuggets, fish sticks, shrimp, and water. What are farmers doing — or, what should they be doing — to minimize microplastics infiltrating their crops. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Patrick Whittle, Environment and Oceanic Reporter with the Associated Press, for a conversation on how the effects of wildfire smoke affects small farmers. The wildfires in Canada sent smoke as far away as Europe, and caused smoke to linger over cities like Kansas City and Minneapolis (far, far away from their origin in Canada), raising alarms in many parts of the U.S. from an unhealthy air quality, affecting soil quality, and more. While fire can be a good thing for land as it burns off the old trash and new growth comes in, but the smoke that comes with the fire has a completely different influence. Additionally, you can hear about the mentorship with IT students and the Associated Press, like Patrick's mentee who was on the program last week, which you can hear in the episode titled, “Is Organic Still Worth It?” Next up, the discussion shifts to how fishermen are battling changing oceans after President Trump's deregulation of fishing, and persistent fears of overfishing. Will these fish docks be available for future generations to make a living? They discuss that, too. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

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

We're also reminded that everything we eat that comes from the ground has a connection to bees, further exasperating the urgency to protect our honeybees and focus on their survival rate.
