Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by PF & QF's Vice President of Government Affairs Ariel Wiegard and Director of Government Affairs Andrew Schmidt to attempt answering the difficult question, “Will there be a new Farm Bill in 2025?” The trio also discuss the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and what the absence of a new Farm Bill means for the crown jewel of voluntary conservation programs. Episode Highlights: • Wiegard provides a recap of recent efforts in Congress to sell public land as part of the budget reconciliation process, and how PF & QF supporters and the broad outdoors community successfully helped push back on that effort earlier this summer. • Schmidt provides an overview of the conservation victories within the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” including an increase of funding for Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP), as well as the integration of remaining IRA funding into the Farm Bill conservation baseline. • Schmidt also details the new “CRP Improvement and Flexibility Act” introduced by U.S. Senators John Thune (R-SD), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Tina Smith (D-MN). This proposed legislation includes many of PF & QF priorities for improving CRP, making the program more attractive to landowners and beneficial for wildlife.

In a recent episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael welcomed Les Sinclair, Communications and PR Manager for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, for an in-depth conversation about the organization's essential work and the growing challenges of food insecurity in Virginia. Covering a staggering 12,000 square miles—about a third of the state—the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank serves as a logistical powerhouse, operating four distribution centers in Verona, Charlottesville, Winchester, and Lynchburg. Les described the food bank as the “big umbrella” for a network of local pantries, likening its role to a Walmart distribution center that supplies smaller “stores” (the pantries) with food and resources. The food bank's impact is immense: last year alone, it distributed 32 million pounds of food, including nearly 10 million pounds of fresh produce, to partner agencies. This focus on healthy, nutritious options is intentional, as Les emphasized the importance of fighting chronic disease and supporting overall community health. The organization's reach extends beyond food, providing grants for equipment like coolers, refrigerators, and even computers to help pantries better serve their guests. These “Partner in Impact and Innovation” grants are vital for smaller pantries that lack the resources to access large-scale government programs like those run by the USDA. Les and Janet discussed the rising demand for food assistance, with the food bank experiencing year-over-year growth rates of 16%—even higher than during the pandemic's peak. Inflation, high housing and childcare costs, and stagnant wages have pushed more families, seniors, and children to seek help. More than half of those served are children and seniors, dispelling the myth that food pantries only serve the unemployed or “lazy.” Many recipients are hardworking individuals facing temporary setbacks, such as job loss, divorce, or unexpected expenses. The conversation also highlighted the importance of community support. Financial donations are especially powerful, with every dollar helping to provide three meals thanks to the food bank's ability to purchase in bulk. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization, contributing over 2,500 hours of work—equivalent to 14 full-time positions. Les encouraged listeners to consider all forms of giving, from time and money to advocacy and even sharing social media posts to raise awareness. Hunger Action Month, observed in September, is a key initiative for the food bank, focusing on education, volunteerism, and advocacy. Les urged the community to support a strong Farm Bill, which funds critical programs like SNAP and the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). The food bank also distributes non-food essentials such as laundry detergent, pet food, and hygiene products, recognizing that these items can make a significant difference for struggling families. The conversation concluded with a look to the future, as the food bank welcomes new CEO Kari Jorgensen Diener, a humanitarian leader with global experience. Les expressed optimism about the organization's direction and reiterated the importance of collective action: whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, everyone has a role to play in ending hunger. For more information, resources, or to get involved, visit the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank's website: https://www.brafb.org/ which features a food finder tool and easy ways to donate or volunteer. Together, the community can ensure that no one in the Valley goes hungry.

Giles Stockton is author of the new book, Feeding a Divided America: Reflections of a Western Rancher in the Era of Climate Change, published by University of New Mexico Press. A third generation cattle rancher, he raises beef cattle and sheep on a 5000-acre ranch in Grass Range, Montana. He's also an international agriculture development specialist and an advocate for ranching and farming communities. The new book imparts a lifetime of wisdom and analysis of what happened to our agriculture system, why, and how we can create a system that gives power back to the farmers who are actually growing our food. 3'01 the book is an extension of his op-ed pieces 4'24 multi-generation ranch background 6'30 raises cattle and sheep, as well as hay 7'14 how Western ranching improves the land 7'46 overgrazing damaged the land; it developed from the collapse of homesteading 9'47 ranching the only sustainable model of large scale agriculture in the US 10'48 the decline of his town early 20th century, and the decline of farms in general 11'57 overproduction led first to subsidies, then to the elimination of small farms 13'37 200,000 farms produce 80% of our food. The rest are trying to survive in an industrial agriculture economic model that doesn't really want them 14'48 how megafarms came into being in the 1980s–the decision not to enforce antitrust laws, leading to monopolies/cartels 16'57 the problem of externalities 18'11 the difference between competitive capitalism (free enterprise where buyer and seller have equal power) and cartel capitalism–which is more like old-style communism 20'33 cartels can raise prices indiscriminately 21'14 not enough slaughterhouses–system is too centralized 21'52 agriculture has never had a golden age–it's always been difficult 22'48 farmer gets 15.9¢ out of consumer dollar 23'22 the system steals from the farmer and farm labor 24'25 the “illusion of economies of scale” 24'45 smaller farmers are better farmers 25'20 the role of the farmer has been squeezed out in the name of “efficiency”…then there's no advocate for the land and animals 26'24 what's lost when you don't have the farmer on the ground…the land, the workers, the animals 27'20 corporate boards instead of farmers are making decisions about things they know nothing about 28'23 why monocrops systems are so un-resilient, especially during climate instability 29'39 the problem of the super wealthy buying farm land–looks like colonialism 30'11 the wealthy neighbors don't understand how their elk sanctuary affects their ranching neighbors 32'02 rural people hate environmentalists more than they hate the corporations that are ruining them 32'36 the sense that their vote doesn't count 33'32 “they don't ask our opinion” 35'16 policy for the last 50 years has been anti-rural. Rural voters vote red, but they don't do anything for rural people. But blue doesn't either. 36'15 climate change is making things existential 36'46 there's a movement for anti-trust enforcement, which is encouraging 37'54 we need to decentralize in order to have a healthier food system — what that could look like 38'35 about 1/3 of food in France is sold locally, unlike the US where it's more like 3% 39'16 the US imports more food than it exports. So much for “feed the world” 39'47 the need for auction markets for all food commodities (instead of contract work) 40'46 we don't need new anti-trust laws, just enforcement of the existing ones 43'04 Citizens United decision of 2010 was a huge gain for the wealthy and corporate power 44'15 revitalizing rural communities = revitalizing democracy 45'05 the importance of being organized around an idea and staying with it 47'04 the local foods movement is extremely important. But it's very libertarian in its politics, which means that they don't deal with the globalized competition, they just do their own thing and stay a part of the 3% of local food 48'33 the Farm Bill isn't so much a farm bill as an ag business bill. The orgs doing good work need to organize with each other more 49'42 what gives him hope 50'35 what happens after Gilles, what is the plan for the next generation

While the One Big Beautiful Bill helped out U.S. agriculture, farmers and ranchers are still waiting on a new farm bill. Chad Smith reports.

Farmers in Connecticut and beyond are being impacted by federal funding cuts. In May, the USDA made cuts to programs that help fund farms and food banks. More recently, the USDA recently cut DEI programming. This included programs on urban forestry, equitable land access and environmental justice. But we could see increased spending for other farm programs in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Today, we speak to those working in the agricultural industry around our state. Last week, Governor Ned Lamont signed the CT Farm Bill. We’ll talk about what that means for farmers.

This week on the Hemp Show, we're continuing the conversation around the need to split the industry into two. There is much confusion in the minds of law makers and consumers when it comes to what hemp is. For years hemp advocates championed the fact that hemp doesn't get you high, but thanks to a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, somebody figured out how to get high from hemp, and so began the era of intoxicating hemp that we find ourselves in now. But if hemp is getting you high, it's not hemp — it's weed. Stop calling it hemp. And that's why there needs to be a legislative fix. Erica Stark from the National Hemp Association joins us to discuss the issue and share her ideas on what a potential fix might look like. Then we talk to Lancaster Country regenerative hemp farmer Steve Groff about the various hemp projects he's working on down at the farm, where he's got 60 acres of fiber hemp ready to harvest in about three weeks. He talks about the “green decortication” project he's working on and how he hopes to inspire people at the Global Fiber Hemp Summit in Raleigh next week. As always Groff sees potential, but he's not waiting for the next Farm Bill to act. “I'm not checked out,” he said. “I'm checked in.” Plus, news nuggets from around the hemp world: Kazakhstan is preparing to make passport paper from hemp, Arizona courts are tightening THC rules, and Morris Beegle calls again for clear bifurcation between cannabinoid and industrial markets. We close with a reminder to check out our new kids podcast, Super Smart Farm Show, launching July 22. Stick around after the credits to hear the trailer. As always, thanks for listening — and until next time, we'll see you in the newspaper.

The transition is complete. Wisconsin's new Alice in Dairyland is on the job with her first official day happening today. Jill Welke finds out what hopes and aspirations Sarah Hagenow is holding for the position as the 78th Alice. Sarah just graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in agricultural and food business management and a minor in international agriculture. Hagenow’s youth was characterized by involvement in 4-H and FFA, which spurred her to join the Gopher Dairy Club, Agricultural Business Club, Agricultural Mentor Program, and the dairy cattle judging team at college. Hagenow has held internships with Heatherstone Enterprises, Viking Dairy Company, the Minnesota State Senate, and the Animal Agriculture Alliance. The heat has broken for Wisconsin this week. Stu Muck says there is some rain on the way.The "Big Beautiful Bill" is complete and signed. Tyler Wenzlaff is the National Affairs Coordinator for the WI Farm Bureau Federation. He says there's a lot of elements in that bill that agriculture needs to notice. Raising reference prices, improvements to DMC, livestock disaster assistance, conservation dollars, and trade development is already in this package which makes Wenzlaff wonder if this is the path a new Farm Bill will take. Stephanie Hoff gets the available details.
