Wednesday, June 11 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on new research from Purdue University suggesting the surge of media coverage had an effect on the price people are paying for eggs. Plus, strong supply fundamentals are pushing cattle and beef prices higher, 70 years after an aerial war against the screwworm — we're hearing about them again.Then, Doug introduces us to Shelby Hampton-Watson, owner of Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards in Brandywine, MD. Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards is a family owned farm going back four generations, and is one of the first agri-tourism farms in the 1970s in south Maryland. Shelby went to college for animal science before returning to the family farm and, over the years, diversified the farm to include the vineyards, winery and wedding venue. They are an estate winery, meaning they are a farm-winery and 100% of what they use is produced by them — planted, taken care of, harvested, processed and bottled, and the tasting room are all on the property. Learn more about Robin Hill Farm and Vineyards at https://www.robinhillfarmandvineyards.com.Additionally, Shelby has several side gigs as an author, speaker, and rural business strategist. She writes for several  agricultural publications, and one of the editorial columns she recently wrote for American Agriculturist is about something she came across during her time as an Animal Science Major in college was PMU (Pregnant Mare Urine) and it's one of the primary ingredients in hormone replacement therapy for women. It's a topic that recently came back into Shelby's consciousness when looking for another topic to write about and decided to share the information with others. You can read the article on https://www.farmprogress.com/commentary/horses-and-hormones-the-surprising-link-between-farmers-mares-and-menopause-treatment.Another venture Shelby has is The Farmed Life (thefarmedlife.org) which empowers women through resources and support to grow; and her book Grace, Grit & Lipstick: Wit & Wisdom for the Modern Female Farmer & her Farm-Curious Friends featuring stories from women in agriculture with their different businesses like entrepreneurs, solarpreneurs, small family farms, backyard and hobby farmers, and anyone linked to the farm-to-table and all-natural-ingredient movements.Lastly, in Doug's opinion segment of today's episode, he discusses the Coalition For A Prosperous America (CPA) that keeps telling us about agriculture and questions a misrepresentation of the agricultural world in America, and why it's important to get your agricultural news from actual agricultural news sources and not mainstream media.

Interview by Kris PetersForged from the survivors of Long Beach bands Damned Age, Black Velvet Brigade and Red River Massacre in 2018, Carsex pull no punches when they come to their sound, name or influences.After crossing paths many a time on the local circuit in Orange County, the five music veterans gradually built a sonic relationship that has become a live force, with Carsex releasing their self-titled effort in 2019 and the EP 2020 the following year.It has been a long five-year wait for fans of the band to hear a new body of work, which has now been rectified with the release of the seven-track EP Human Interest last week.HEAVY caught up with frontman Nigel Burk to talk more."This one is our third EP," he offered, "and is definitely our strongest effort I feel, just out of the development of the band over the years and everything. I feel like we're as much a part of each other as we can be.""So I feel like this one is probably the first one that is 100 per cent genuine, just straight from all of us as a unit. And yeah, we're super stoked on it. The basic idea… a lot of our material goes through a pretty wide variety of subjects - and lightly touches on politics to a certain degree - but I wouldn't say that much. Just really like the human condition as a broad explanation. Sometimes it's a little difficult for me to explain exactly what certain songs or the idea of the band is about, because I like for the audience to experience it for themselves. I feel like our presentation is more up for perception or subjective to the listener, because it is for us as well. It means something different to all of the band members individually as well."In the full interview, Nigel highlighted several tracks, including Sitting Ducks, addressing societal issues, and Fuck This, which explores personal struggles. He shared the inspiration behind Landmine, stemming from a personal tragedy, and discussed DKC, which reflects on school shootings.He also mentioned Stella, a hopeful song that encapsulates a journey of acceptance. The band's live performance style has developed over their years together, and they are preparing for their EP launch at The Vine in Long Beach, while also planning a small tour later in the year after a brief hiatus for their drummer's surgery. We ran through the seven EP tracks individually and found out their intended meaning and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discusses the biggest concerns for health and medical news from a natural position over a Western Medicine approach. He starts today's episode with the idea that the sun does not cause skin cancer, rather exposes the weaknesses in your skin due to poor dietary choices that can lead different growths on the skin, and why he opposes sunblock as it pertains to blocking a natural process exposure to the sun and stopping vitamin D absorption as well as other helpful nutrients we can get from the sun — not to mention the harmful chemicals in most sunscreens. Next up, the myth that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and at what time you should start eating during your day, questioning when food is not food, the viral recipe video that left Dr. Jack feeling dumbfounded, and who/what the forbidden doctor really is. Then, Dr. Jack discusses an increase of young asthma sufferers, that more children are being diagnosed with ADHD or autism, a fight against breakfast cereals, and why “eating healthy” isn't always healthy eating. To round out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Jack break down what makes us feel stressed, what stress does to our bodies, and how to fight stress and keep a calmer mind. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

 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

Wednesday, May 21 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on added value of producing for farmer's markets, how Brooke Rollins and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are working together for a healthier America and a focus on supporting local farmers, and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's problems with the government over land. Next, Doug introduces us to Ryan McPherson, owner of Glidden Point Oyster Farms in Edgecomb, Maine. Ryan got his start in fisheries and looking for a way to stay on the water, so when the opportunity to take over the oyster farm (which was established in 1987) arose in 2015, Ryan went for it. Glidden Point Oysters are grown slowly, and in the nutrient-rich depths of the Damariscotta River, a world class growing environment. Their oysters are renowned for their heavy shell, and beautiful appearance. They start from seed and grow them in upwellers and floating bags on the surface of the river until they reach the appropriate size to be harvested.  Plus, all Glidden Point oysters are harvested by hand, and often by scuba diver. They touch their oysters every step of the way, and it's the care they take, whether it's grading seed, diving, or culling, that produces a premium oyster they're proud to share with others, and proud to call their own. When it comes to aquaculture, things move very quickly with a lot more dynamics to the process. You can learn more about Glidden Point Oyster Farms at GliddenPoint.com. Finishing up this episode of the American Family Farmer podcast, Farmer Doug opines about the state of the country as it pertains to the current administration and what it means for farmers and anyone in agri-business.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

They do not keep/breed any rooster that has shown aggression to them, their youngest daughter, or their hens.

There's a steam engine revival in South Africa. Although steam belongs to a bygone era when trains powered the Industrial Revolution, there's now a significant steam rail tourism sector thriving in the country. The Ceres Steam Train to Elgin is one of five steam heritage train rides available in South Africa. A novel experience for some, it's nostalgic for others. Trundling along at a sedate 45 kilometers per hour, there is lots of time to chat, celebrate an event, or watch the world go by. A highlight is climbing Sir Lowry's Pass, after which the train is in the Overberg district. At the peak of steam in 1959, there were 3,300 steam locomotives in use in South Africa. Peter Rogers has run steam train tours in South Africa since the 1980s. He says there are two main reasons steam trains were used significantly longer in South Africa than in other countries. “Most traction was steam and that was due to the fact that we had abundant coal in the country, as well as the sanctions period when we couldn't get diesel fuel, and for that reason, steam kept on until about 1980s when railways eventually decided to get rid of steam. The last steam operated on the Kimberley-De Aar line in about 1992,” he explains. When steam stopped being used in 1992, there were 700 steam locomotives on the tracks. Today, there are about 20 steam locomotives in use, and one of them powers the Ceres Train to Elgin. Keeping steam train travel alive in the 21st century has several challenges, not least having to manufacture spare parts from scratch. Yet there is an enduring love for steam travel, says Ceres Train Director, Rick Botha. “There are more steam locomotives running in the country now than there were ten years ago. So it's definitely grown and there's been a revival in steam. And you can see people are interested in it. Wherever steam is running, steam is running full. People love it. People wave, people hoot. There's just a joy around steam that you don't find anywhere else.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Wednesday, May 7 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on dairy trade challenges, disaster assistance from the USDA, and our relationship with other countries in relation to the tariffs. Then, the focus shifts to preparedness for an ICE encounter on your farm, knowing your rights as a business owner and the rights of your employees. Then, Doug introduces us to Steve Rapasky, owner of Meadow Sweet Apiaries near Pittsburgh, PA. Fun fact: most of Steve's beehives are actually located at Pittsburgh International Airport. His background goes back to growing up on a farm with livestock in addition to bees, then he got his degree in wildlife science at Penn State University and spent a decade as a wildlife biologist in the state agency before exiting into his own apiary with a certification as an Eastern Apiculture Society (EAS) Master Beekeeper. Many people want to get involved with having bees on their farm or property, and that's great because we need to continue to support the bees, but many don't know how to take care of them. 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. You can learn more from Steve on MeadowSweetBees.com. Lastly, Doug opines the stresses at this time of year to get things in the ground, the lack of making health a priority for most farmers, the importance of rest and regular breaks, and more emphasis on why communities need to support family farmers. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Tuesday, May 6 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start the episode with a focus on the measles and if there is truly a need to be concerned, how contagious the virus really is, how many confirmed cases constitutes as an outbreak, and how is most at risk. Then, the conversation shifts to new cancer treatments that may be able to replace chemotherapy and surgical options, the role lifestyle plays (in addition to genetics) in your risk of cancer, new information on colon cancer, a 15-year aging advantage and why it's not too late to start taking better care of yourself —  with an emphasis on better sleep quality, healthier eating, proper exercise for your age and body type — and benefits, beyond hydration, of drinking more water. Then, the link between ultra-processed foods and early death due to health-related complications, the affects of Spring allergies  of which most are unaware, a new flesh-eating STI, and the importance of proper walking shoes when starting a walking workout. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Spring has sprung, and tulip mania is once again attracting social media trendsetters to the Netherlands' world-famous garden to see them. Around 7 million tulips are expected to bloom at the Keukenhof Gardens, creating a kaleidoscope of color to brighten up social media feeds. The Dutch have been dazzled by these tulips since they were first imported to the Netherlands from Central Asia in the 17th century. The Keukenhof is the perfect spot, with specially created giant clogs, floral archways, and pink velvet couches for people to pose and pout. They're trending on social media websites, attracting visitors like Austrian lawyer Daniel Magnus. "Whenever you see the kind of pictures which were taken from an influencer, they make something (an impression) with you right. You get a new impression of new locations, traditions, people and so it is very nice, they are inspiring you, … and that makes you, yeah, you want also to be there," says Magnus. These blooms are carefully nurtured by gardeners here. The Keukenhof says well over a million visitors make their way here to see the 7 million bulbs that have been planted. The garden is only open for eight weeks, so everyone knows there's a small window of opportunity for social media snappers. Gardener Patrick van Dijk says, "The tulips, it's a combination of everything. The blossom, the blossom trees, primroses, the magnolia trees there's always something blooming. I think that's the reason why everybody's coming, there's also always something to see." "It's a very good representation because we've been doing this since 1700, and since then it's been an iconic flower for the Netherlands. If you say the Netherlands, you say tulips," says van Dijk. The Netherlands Board of Tourism & Convention encourages visitors by saying, “Make your image come alive and place the subject of your photo slightly off-center. This will make your photo look more dynamic.” But not everyone is always happy with tourists taking photos. Some flower farmers have put up signs and barriers to deter aspiring influencers from trampling tulips in nearby fields. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Wednesday, April 30 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the Trade War and how its escalation is affecting the struggling farm economy with tariffs coming into focus, the nations responding with tariffs of their own, and what the American Farm Bureau says about it. Doug also discusses the current administration's primary focus addressing the economy — like the restrictions on immigration — and the stall with China on a trader resolution. Then, Doug introduces us to Brad Rippey, Agricultural Meteorologist with the USDA's Office of the Chief Economist, for a conversation on weather assessments ad real-time yield intelligence for farming conditions. Brad is a member of the authorship team for the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor and the monthly North American Drought Monitor. Doug and Brad also discuss more about the USDA and the future amidst federal budget cuts, the benefit of the weather as it applies to livestock farming in addition to crops, and the overall impact on the soil. Lastly, Doug opines stability of farming, a difference in success of generational farming vs those who are just starting out, and addressing confusion and misunderstanding on the business side of farming and living on the farm. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

After sending its most famous work to be featured in Amsterdam's blockbuster 2023 exhibition of nearly every work by Johannes Vermeer, the Mauritshuis museum found itself with a blank space where the iconic Girl with a Pearl Earring had been displayed. The Hague-based institution turned to more than 2,700 artists, from Texas to Ukraine, from age 7 to 70, who created their own interpretations of the 17th-century masterpiece. A selection of 60 works using materials ranging from orange peels to bottle caps to sweatshirts was exhibited in the museum while the painting was on loan 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the north. "The submissions continue to come, it will never end with her," Martine Gosselink, director of the Mauritshuis museum, told The Associated Press, pointing to the ongoing popularity of works featuring the mystery girl. A 2020 investigation into the painting using a battery of modern imaging techniques uncovered details about Vermeer's methods and the makeup of his pigments, but not the young woman's identity. "I bring together the original The Girl with a Pearl Earring and the face of a Wayang puppet," artist Rob de Heer told the AP, standing in front of a screen in the museum's foyer where all of the winning submissions are displayed. De Heer, who primarily works with mixed media, wanted to take an image from the Golden Age history of the Netherlands and combine it with one evoking its colonial legacy. Wayang puppets are a traditional form of theater in parts of Indonesia, which was ruled by the Netherlands until 1949. His surrealist work is followed in the rolling display by a piece featuring the original girl's face superimposed on an antique tea tin. Other submissions include works by South Korean artist Nanan Kang, who used an ear of corn for the face; Georgian artist Nino Kavazauri, who reimagined a modern girl waiting at a bus stop with a cup of coffee; and Simon Chong, a Welsh animator, who works on the popular television series "Bob's Burgers" and created a girl in the show's cartoon style.

Wednesday, April 23 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the trade war and the cost of new vs pre-owned equipment, a rise in importing eggs amid the continuation of the avian flu, and economic assistance payments. Then, Doug introduces us to Rachel Hopkins, an Ag Business Field Specialist with University of Missouri Extension, who has a long background in farming as she was raised on a multi-generation dairy farm. Doug and Rachel discuss the hardship family farmers are facing, where money is being hemorrhaged, and delving into the family finance aspect and where to “tighten the belt” and stop “keeping up with the Jones's.” Today's financial climate is causing farmers to make hard cuts to farm budgets, but Hopkins says they should not overlook household expenses. As a family farmer and mom, Rachel knows first hand the added stress of off-budget costs, especially when $20-$30 here or there multiple times quickly add up. Lastly, Doug opines the importance of female farmers, financial success in farmings, and modern farming via the AI influence. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Wednesday, April 16 -  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 tariffs and how farmers will be affected one way or the other, what Ag economists are encouraging farmers to do, and how you can protect your family farm. Next, we meet Lesley Sykes, founder and CEO of Primary Beans. www.primarybeans.com Primary Beans is a direct-to consumer online dried bean company offering an array of single-origin beans from recent harvests, sourced across North America from climate-conscious farm partners. They believe that beans as the perfect food from a nutritional, culinary and planetary perspective. Lesley and her sister, Renee, are fifth-generation Arizonans from a small town on the Mexican border. Like any border town kids, we grew up around the culture and flavors of Northern Mexico. Early on, we developed a deep appreciation for beans and were the kids asking for “no rice, only beans please” at our favorite local restaurant. The sisters created Primary Beans to share their obsession with beans, and to shed light on the incredible farming communities they come from. To them, sitting down with a homemade bowl of beans is a chance to deepen society's connection to the food we eat, even (especially) on the busiest of days. With over a dozen varieties and counting, it's just the beginning of bringing the most flavorful beans they can find to your home kitchen. Wrapping it all up, Farmer Doug opines what else is helping farmers, keeping farm families and visitors, especially children, safe on the farm. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Tuesday, April 15 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start with a recap of Doug's visit to Dr. Ken's practice in Mount Dora, FL. Next up, the biggest topics in the news of health and medicine, including how lowering bad cholesterol also lowers the risk of developing dementia, why you should learn what your cholesterol readings should be (because it's not one-size-fits-all), why you should talk to your doctor about your LPa numbers (and what that means), and a number of other therapies to help maintain your best cholesterol (good and bad) levels for optimum health. Then, Doug waves his HIPAA rights to share insight of how many of us forget to look at things in our lives affecting our health, like stress. Mental stress, poor sleep, and obesity are the three main culprits contributing to plaque buildup, high cholesterol, and poor overall health. The first step to better health is getting those three things under control. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Large crowds, loud music, and time pressure aren't typically considered the best environments for artistic expression. But in Sydney, on-stage art battles are turning painting into competitive entertainment. Artists are taking part in a new type of competition where their painting skills will be tested to their limits. In just 20 minutes, they need to come up with a work of art and convince the live audience to vote for them. “It shows a lot of talent. You need a lot of skill,” an audience member said. For more than a year now, the Art Battle events have been taking place in warehouses and creative spaces across Sydney. And the artists who take part in them, like Pamela Woods, often take weeks to get battle-ready. “It's fantastic. I have to work to a deadline. My art battle's coming up, oh my god. And you just start painting in a mad flurry, and that's really worked for me, it's been fantastic,” she says. For Woods, it's all about challenging herself and her talents. “It's like this adrenaline rush that you get and you paint furiously for 20 minutes. You don't know what all your competitors are doing. And then your heart's thumping, and then you wait for the results, and then you start painting again. And by the end of it, you're absolutely exhausted, drenched in sweat, but it's a lot of fun,” she says. For Robert Porta, this type of competition is a way to test himself in the art world. “You've got people, all the crowd, walking around you so you can hear the voices saying ‘Oh, this is good, this is not good. Oh, I love this. What's going to be?' Because they don't know what you are going to paint,” says Porta. The art battles are growing in popularity, but raise the question: can true art be competitive? “I think it can be competitive. I think competition is very healthy,” says a female audience member. “I think it's amazing that they could pull something like that off in, was it 20 minutes?” concludes a male audience member.

Take the moment and think about your life then, however long ago. Then, Dr. Jack goes more in depth why chiropractic care, especially upper cervical, is important to the overall health of the body because the central nervous system -- including the spine and the brain -- are running the show.

Wednesday, April 9 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on the dire honeybee situation with the population dwindling and how it's affecting other produce and areas in agriculture, and what beekeepers are suggesting others can do to help. Then, Doug breaks down what the tariffs could mean for farmers and how much the US has exported to other countries and why the trade balance isn't there, and the financial toll faced by the freezing of approved farm programs. Next, we're introduced to Chadam Christensen, a 5th generation farmer from Flamig Farm in West Simsbury, CT. Flamig farm began in 1907, and continues today with Chadam's parents, Nevin and Julie, at the helm. During it's 100 plus years, the farm has gone from a 12 cow dairy, to a few thousand chickens for egg production and through a time of growing 10 acres of organic vegetables. They once had 3 teams of draft horses and did a lot of hayrides, as well as carriage rides for weddings. The mission of Flamig Farm is to be the premier demonstration and education center in New England, focusing on local food production, energy conservation and efficient energy production, and personal wellness and nutrition. They've shifted into an agritourism business with their primary income being with their petting zoo, but also have haunted walkthroughs, host birthday parties and weddings, farm stays, they have chickens with a good amount of eggs, and even offer Animal Reiki. You can learn more about Flamig Farm on Flamigfarm.com.

Thursday, April 3 -  Dr. Jack Stockwell (www.forbiddendoctor.com & www.jackstockwell.com | Phone: 866-867-5070), a GAPS Practitioner and NUCCA Chiropractor, discussed information centering around health foods that are not healthy.Read that one again . . . Health foods that are not healthy. Just because it's sold in a natural food store, sold in a health food store, doesn't mean it's actually food that is good for you, but marketing has us believing it. Industrial food processing can destroy the nutritional value of any food, even organically grown. Here are Dr. Jack's  Top Ten List of unhealthy “health” foods, in no specific order: 1) salad dressing . . . 2) sweetened yogurts . . . 3) pasteurized fruit juices . . . 4) soy milk . . . 5) whole grain breakfast cereals . . . 6) low fat milk . . . 7) agave . . . 8) organic frozen dinners . . . 9) butter-like spreads . . . 10) energy bars. Then, Doug joins Dr. Jack for a conversation on a Stanford and Harvard study showing 40% of American teenagers are now struggling with anxiety and depression, and the link to consuming ultra-processed foods, the American epidemic of obesity, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s fight against ingredients permitted in American food that's been banned in other countries (and for good reason), and what RFK Jr. is doing to clean up the food we eat in our country. Website: GoodDayHealthShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Wednesday, April 2 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on what's going on with our federal government and some of the programs that've been important for American farmers, Bayer and Monsanto fight to take away Americans' right to know about pesticide toxicity and take away the right to sue these companies for failure to warn consumers, a push to cut down the price of eggs amid continued avian influenza concerns, and consumers swapping hen eggs for turkey eggs. Then, Doug introduces us to Jim Lowe, the owner of Lowe Family Farmstead in Kuna, ID. Lowe Family Farmstead is Idaho's most popular fall destination with their biggest time of year being the fall. They hav u-pick pumpkin options, an acclaimed corn-maze, raising beef and other livestock, too. Other options for guests, include an authentic tractor-drawn hayride, wandering through their beautiful flower field, enjoying some farm-fresh food, and of course, and more. Jim grew up farming and ranching but didn't have a generational family farm to grow with his family. A common discussion on the American Family Farmer program is the difficulty first generation farmers face without an inheritance of land, making it nearly impossible to become a farmer. Jim has a degree in Ag Business, so the idea of agritourism appealed as a niche market that could overcome the obstacles of traditional agriculture, which he and his wife, Hillary, moved forward with the efforts. Years later, they have their Lowe Family Farmstead, offering a creative twist on agriculture that taps into the heart of Idaho. You can find more information, and plan your own visit, on LoweFamilyFarmstead.com. Lastly, Doug shares his final thoughts and opinions on the privilege it truly is to be a farmer, why family farming is such a tough business, reflecting on what farming is really all about, and why it's a calling. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Tuesday, April 1 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken start with some good news from the world of medicine with a breakthrough in Parkinson's research of a brain stimulator giving new hope for patients as it's set to be made available at hospitals throughout the country as a new era begins in treating this illness. Continuing with good news, the FDA has approved a new treatment for Crohn's disease, and update on what RFK Jr. is doing in banning ingredients that are bad for us yet continued to be in our foods, and discussing how a person should eat in middle age to protect their health as they grow older with the clear winner (out of a 30-year study) being The Harvard Diet — also known as the Healthy Eating Plate or Alternative Healthy Eating Index, is a dietary pattern based on research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health emphasizing the consumption of nutrient-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and healthy fats) while limiting unhealthy ones (red and processed meats, sugary drinks, sodium, and refined grains). Plus, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss advice on managing tinnitus with dietary changes, Oprah's special on menopause, Dr. Ken's recommendation on plant-based foods to reduce hot flashes, dealing with COVID-19 in a post pandemic world, pros and cons of taking Apple Cider Vinegar to lower blood sugar, the connection between tattoos and bladder cancer, and the debate of heat vs ice in pain management.
