Farmers say the 2018 Farm Bill is not meeting the needs of today's production ag families. Doug Sombke with South Dakota Farmers Union lays out his organization's plan for updates to the farm sector safety net.
The November 21 edition of the AgNet News Hour closed out the week with a powerful, wide-ranging interview featuring Jason Gianelli, fourth-generation Kern County farmer and Director of Farming for Old River Farming Company and RNG Finucchi. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill called it one of the most honest and energizing conversations of the month, as Gianelli broke down everything from water policy to automation to the future of dairy support crops in California. Gianelli, whose family has farmed in Kern County for five generations, oversees roughly 30,000 acres of corn silage, wheat silage, and feed crops stretching from Bakersfield north to Kings County. He laughed as he recalled the enormous size of his family—both in acreage and height—and the agricultural heritage passed down through generations. “I don't cowboy up,” he joked. “I farmer down.” But the challenges facing today's farmers aren't funny. Gianelli described how quickly the landscape has changed, especially with towns expanding into farmland and new layers of regulation making even basic decisions more complex. “We're still here,” he said, “but California doesn't make it easy.” On water, Gianelli was blunt: farmers pay for 100 percent of their allocation but rarely receive it. Even strong districts aren't getting full deliveries, and SGMA-driven pumping limits are forcing growers to rethink cropping patterns. “You can't conserve your way out of a drought,” he said. “But you can be smart. Automation is going to help us turn valves on and off, monitor leaks, and use every drop wisely.” Gianelli believes ROI—not hype—will determine which technologies survive. Some tools pay for themselves in three years; others take ten and aren't worth it. “Everything is a tool in the toolbox,” he said. “But you still need eyes on the ground. I'll never stop checking fields with a shovel.” He also emphasized the role of dairy innovation, calling California dairies “one of the most efficient systems in the world.” From methane digesters to manure-water recycling, he praised dairies for making sure nothing goes to waste. “We'll use water three or four times before it leaves the ranch,” he said. On regulations and politics, Gianelli didn't hold back. He criticized lawmakers who pass laws without understanding agriculture and voters who read headlines instead of full articles. “If you voted yes on Prop 50, you voted against agriculture,” he said plainly. “People are removed from the farm. They don't know where their food comes from.” Still, Gianelli remains hopeful—not because the system is easy, but because farmers don't quit. “California can be great again,” he said. “Bad policy hurts everyone, but people will wake up. Farming is still the greatest job in the world.” He lit up when talking about bringing his young children into the field. “They drive tractors with me. They learn about insects, seeds, and soil. I want them to love this life the way I do.” Papagni closed the interview by calling Gianelli “one of California's strongest farm voices,” while McGill said what many listeners were thinking: “Farmers are the real environmentalists. They take care of the land like family.”

Is it possible to produce enough healthy food to feed the nation whilst also restoring nature? The farmer and best-selling author James Rebanks thinks it is but says there needs to be a radical change to government policy and our entire food system. He explains why he thinks farming subsidies are flawed, the unintended consequences of cheap food, and the delicate balance between food security and environmental stewardship. And from the hills of Cumbria to a remote island in Norway, he also reflects on the lessons he learnt about masculinity whilst writing his latest book, ‘The Place of Tides'. A government spokesperson said: “Farmers are stewards for our nation's land and for our food security. Farming also plays a central role in our mission to kickstart economic growth. “We understand that when farmers run profitable businesses, it's good for the whole economy. “That is why we are backing them through new technology, streamlined regulation and our nature-friendly farming schemes are helping farmers produce food for the nation.” (00:05:34) James explains his rise to farming fame (00:08:49) Why British farming is in crisis (00:16:42) Food production vs nature recovery (00:24:35) Our cheap food system (00:32:27) Supermarkets and food security (00:36:29) Restoring the balance between supermarkets and farmers (00:39:00) How can consumers help British farmers?

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the biggest news affecting family farmers, starting off with the question if the ongoing bird flu will cause any troubles for Thanksgiving dinners across the country. On the topic of the choice of poultry for Thanksgiving, states with the highest rate of turkey production are Minnesota (#1) and North Carolina (#2), there's also a big export business for turkeys which is bringing in billions of dollars to the states' economy. Doug also opines on the importance of farmers, and everything they do. Farmers know how to drive tracts and plant seed, they know how to raise cattle and dairy herds, etc., but what else? Farmers are also carpenters, mechanics, veterinarians, sales managers, marketing managers, and so on. If you're a farmer you are resilient, you're intelligent, you're adaptive, you're creative, and you own that right to be proud of being a farmer.

Today on the American Family Farmer, we're proud to bring you a stand-alone feature interview with Dawn Broeder, founder of Farm Fusion Cooking Classes and a lifelong champion of Colorado agriculture.Dawn's story begins on the family farm where she was raised—an environment that not only shaped her work ethic but also gave her a profound respect for the land and the animals in her care. As a young girl, she was responsible for feeding calves, tending their living areas, caring for the chickens, helping with milking, and assisting with daily horse care. She was part of cattle round-ups and participated in the necessary but tough work of maintaining a herd—de-horning, branding, castrating, and everything in between. These early experiences gave her an intimate understanding of what it means to steward animals, manage a farm, and sustain a family through agriculture.While Dawn's roots were in ranch life, she also discovered a deep love for cooking. That passion eventually led her to pursue formal training at Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, where she earned her culinary certificate and expanded her skillset beyond the ranch kitchen.But like many who grow up connected to the land, Dawn felt the pull to return home. Today, she and her husband have blended their worlds—agriculture and culinary arts—into a truly unique operation: a barn-based teaching kitchen where they host immersive, hands-on cooking classes. Farm Fusion allows guests to experience food at its source, learn how ingredients are grown and raised, and develop the confidence to cook real, wholesome meals. From harvesting ingredients to preparing delicious dishes, students gain a genuine farm-to-table experience rooted in connection, education, and respect for where food comes from.In this conversation, Dawn shares her journey from childhood chores to culinary school to becoming a farm-to-table educator. She explains how Farm Fusion is helping people reconnect with agriculture at a time when many feel disconnected from the origins of their food. And she offers insight into the joy, challenges, and deep fulfillment that come with building a teaching kitchen on a working ranch.Whether you're a farmer, a foodie, or someone who simply appreciates a great back-to-the-land story, Dawn's passion shines through. Her work is a reminder that cooking isn't just a skill—it's a bridge between the earth, the farmer, and the family table.Learn more about Dawn's classes and story at farmfusion.org.

As COP 30 continues in Brazil, we look at imports of South American soy and its use for animal feed on UK farms.

The Montreal Experiments were one of the most disturbing mind-control programs ever carried out in North America — funded by the CIA, supported by the Canadian government, and disguised as cutting-edge psychiatric treatment.From drug-induced comas to extreme electroshock therapy and “psychic driving,” hundreds of innocent patients — including teenagers, young mothers, and people seeking help for mild anxiety — were used as unwitting test subjects. Many lost their memories, their identities, and entire pieces of their lives.https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgdngkxedzo.amphttps://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/mkultrahttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10443815/WTF News-Farmer Pete pulls a gun in chicken argument https://www.newsweek.com/man-tries-shoot-people-argument-how-many-eggs-chickens-lay-11010758Crime News UpdateKayden McIntosh Sentenced for the murder of Cynthia Hoffman https://people.com/catfished-thinking-get-money-killing-teen-going-prison-11850972Join our squad!

From the BBC World Service: As COP30 in Brazil enters its second week, one of the key agreements protecting the Amazon rainforest is under threat from powerful Brazilian agri-business interests. Currently, a pact bans the sale of soy beans — Brazil's largest agricultural export — grown on Amazon land deforested after 2008. Then, shares in Japanese retail and travel-related companies fell after China urged citizens not to visit the country over remarks made by Japan's prime minister about Taiwan.

The Land Podcast - The Pursuit of Land Ownership and Investing
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back on the road in Iowa with one of my all time favorite conversations with a now great friend Alan Ammons. We discuss: Alan Ammons shares his journey from farming to the Navy and back to agriculture. He bought his first farm in 1975 with help from his father, risking his family's land. The 1980s brought economic turmoil, leading to significant losses in farming. Alan reflects on the emotional toll of losing his farm and the feeling of failure. He discusses the impact of high interest rates and falling land values on farmers. The conversation highlights the importance of adapting business models in agriculture. Alan's experience with a deed in lieu of foreclosure helped him clear debts. He emphasizes the community's struggles during the farming crisis of the 80s. Alan eventually returned to farming and started a real estate business in 1989. The discussion underscores resilience and the lessons learned from tough times. And so much more!
