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.  Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The idea that farming is dangerous is true, but farming is not deadly. It's important to have safety measures in place, as well as use common sense.

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 a new program that would support wood-processing facilities, providing funding for the new Timber Production Expansion Program.This is a loan program that would support the utilization of wood-products from the national forrest system — forrest health needs to be improved, reducing the risk posted by wild fires, insects and disease as well as the ash tree being destroyed by an invasive bug from China.Next up, new programs for Masters degrees in AI and how artificial intelligence can be used in agriculture to fill in on labor shortages, and data protection discussions as the fact that modern tractor/combine starts up, it's GPS begins mapping and data begins flowing but where is that data going and why is a common question.Moving on, Doug pivots to a discussion on dairy farms, but more so the milk itself and the focus on quality and misconception of raw milk being dangerous when it's the why it's produced over the milk itself. Raw milk isn't illegal for purchase everywhere because, when done properly and in a clean/sterilized environment, the health benefits are far more than what you find in grocery stores across the nation, but also the importance in knowing from where your milk comes — just like your eggs, produce and meats.  Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

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

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.

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

Then, the conversation shifts to diversification farming production and why a singular focus may create a surplus, why it's important to know who owns the seed companies, and how you get your news and whether or not you read into opinions. Lastly, Doug takes a look at farm markets and how they're being manipulated by tariffs and agri-business monopolies, he opines why Brooke Rollins is divisive but possibly proving to favor small farmers.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmer.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks
