The news broke late last night - and legislators in both chambers are expected to return this morning to approve the deal. Meantime in Washington, the Senate passed a bill to reopen the federal government late Sunday night, and the House is expected to take their first look at the bill today.

Lorenzo Fiori reports that the olive harvest in Tuscany is expected to be low in quantity due to mosquito damage caused by humidity and rain. However, recent strong winds helped remove damaged olives, potentially ensuring a "very tasty" oil. Fiori also discusses the historical visit of King Charles III to the Vatican's Sistine Chapel to pray with Pope Francis. This event, which Fiori found spectacular, is seen as crucial for restoring dialogue between the Anglican and Catholic Churches after centuries of division. 930-945 Small Business Economy Steady; AI Remains a 'Toy'. Gene Marks reports on the small business economy, noting steady activity among machine parts manufacturers, often preparing for an "onshoring boom."

Pennsylvania is now 100 days without a state budget, yet lawmakers appear no closer to reaching a deal. Frustrations are mounting in the Capitol. House G-O-P leader Jesse Topper says the state must help scale up the energy industry, reform education and find ways to make social safety-net programs sustainable in the long run. Meantime, Senate Democratic leader Jay Costa blames Republicans for failing to compromise on key issues, like funding public education funding and legalizing the adult use of cannabis. Gov. Josh Shapiro used a Lackawanna County appearance to place blame on the state Senate. More than 200 high school students protested the state budget impasse Wednesday, even during a steady morning rain in Lancaster County. Less than a month after a deadly shootout that claimed the lives of York County police officers, there's another shootout involving police, this time in Franklin County. Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers are hospitalized and a suspect is dead after a shootout Wednesday night. Enrollment at state-owned universities in Pennsylvania has taken a slight uptick. And drivers are being advised to prepare for a major traffic disruption this weekend in Lancaster County. PennDOT crews are continuing a major improvement project at the interchange between US Routes 30 and 222.

This week I'm speaking with Josh, a listener of the show who contacted me about a possible Bigfoot sighting he had about 9 years ago in York County, Pennsylvania. Josh details the encounter he had as a teenager with a strange creature in the woods while biking in to meet up with his friends at their fort. The creature didn't seem like anything that should be found in the Pennsylvania woods. Josh also tells the story of a friend of his who was out hunting along the Susquehanna River and spotted a creature that sounds very much like a Sasquatch. He also tells of a spooky story of what happened to him in an abandoned house in the woods. Josh was an awesome guest, and in addition to his stories, we discuss our thoughts and theories on what Bigfoot really is.

Eric and Dan are joined by colleague Evan Wheaton to discuss the high school football landscape as it approaches the midpoint of the season. They take an in-depth look at York County football, focusing on top contenders like Central York and West York. They recap several notable games from the previous week, including Line Mountain's upset over Steel High and West Perry's improbable comeback against East Pennsboro then conclude with an early analysis of the District 3 power ratings, breaking down the playoff picture for each classification.

In 1928, the quiet farming community of York County, Pennsylvania, was shaken by a brutal crime. Nelson Rehmeyer, a local practitioner of Pennsylvania Dutch powwow folk magic, was murdered by neighbors who believed he had cursed them. Known as the Hex Hollow Murder, the case exposed deep fears of witchcraft, superstition, and the dark side of rural folklore. In this episode, we revisit the chilling story of fear and belief gone deadly.

In a case that captured national attention in 1929, a beautiful young schoolteacher went missing one Friday afternoon. Her husband was ill and in bed all day, at least according to him. This week we cover the scandal that spurred legend, lore, and facination for the past century in York County.

How do we address violence against our police, our political figures, and ourselves? We discuss the incident in York County where we lost 3 law enforcement officers; Also, the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, and how we need to preserve our ability to talk out our differences.

House Democrats are renewing their efforts to reform gun ownership laws in Pennsylvania amid several recent high-profile gun deaths — including conservative activist Charlie Kirk and three Northern York County Regional police officers killed by a gunman. Last Friday, as the Trump administration demanded Pennsylvania share personal data about food-stamp recipients, a federal court ruled other states don’t have to do so. The 2026 governor’s race is heating up, as Republicans look to deny incumbent Josh Shapiro another term as Pennsylvania’s chief executive. State Treasurer Stacy Garrity now has the formal backing of the state Republican Party as expected. State Police are investigating the discovery of white supremacist pamphlets distributed in parts of Franklin County. The funeral service for three York County detectives killed in the line of duty last week will be held Thursday. President Trump says he's using his so-called "golden share" power to intervene and reverse a decision at U.S. Steel.

What happens when worlds collide? When Christian Miller sits down with Jack Pfeifer for a candid conversation about his journey from Lancaster County's Amish community to becoming a successful auctioneer in the Northern Plains, we're treated to a fascinating glimpse into a rarely-seen American experience.Christian pulls back the curtain on growing up Amish, where one-room schoolhouses, horse-drawn farm equipment, and tight-knit community values shaped his worldview. He describes how Lancaster County's agricultural economy operates - from communal tractor ownership (with engines mounted directly on implements pulled by horses) to intensive dairy operations on relatively small acreages. We discover that virtually everything in Amish communities sells through auctions, explaining why auctioneering runs in Christian's blood as a third-generation professional following his grandfather and great-grandfather who began calling bids in 1942.The land dynamics Christian describes are eye-opening, with prime Lancaster County farmland commanding upwards of $20,000 per acre. This price pressure has pushed Amish families into neighboring York County, doubling land values there as families seek space to continue their agricultural traditions. Unlike conventional approaches to land investment, Christian explains how Amish families willingly take on "lifetime debt" for farmland, understanding it may be their children or grandchildren who finally own the property outright - a multigenerational perspective on legacy that profoundly influences market behavior.The conversation shifts to exciting developments at Pifers as they celebrate their 25th anniversary, with Jack Pfeifer stepping into the CEO role while maintaining the company's commitment to exceptional service across real estate, auction, and land management sectors. The transition of leadership in their land management division signals growth and innovation while honoring the foundation built by longtime leaders.Ready to discover more about America's agricultural landscape and the professionals who help transfer land between generations?

York County might have suffered a data breach. This stream's glowing bright blue, but it's a common occurrence in the southwestern region. These cities are some of the worst for people with asthma. Also, this area has some of the best fall foliage in the country.

Authorities in York County have provided an update on Wednesday's shootout which resulted in the deaths of three law enforcement officers and injuries to 2 others. The Trump administration has given a “final warning” to Pennsylvania officials: Either share personal data on food-stamp recipients or immediately lose millions of dollars for food assistance. And that deadline is today. Three Pennsylvania cities are among the worst places in the nation for people living with asthma. Philadelphia, Allentown and Harrisburg all made it into The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America’s 2025 U.S. Asthma Capitals report. Pennsylvania officials have confirmed the state is part of a new regional public health collaboration designed to replace federal oversight of certain health services. Lancaster city police Chief Richard Mendez is announcing he'll retire in December after a 25-year career with the department. Emergency training exercises are being held at Harrisburg International Airport this weekend. The share of salmonella patients in Pennsylvania who reported consuming raw milk is already higher this year, than in any of the previous five years. Lancaster city officials are keeping close tabs on the status of a federal program known as HOME. That's because the city has used $7 million in HOME funding to create more than 200 affordable housing units since 2018. And Cumberland County is marking a major milestone when it comes to farmland preservation.

A York County man is being charged with assault but not with a hate crime after attacking an L-G-B-T-Q community member. Pennsylvania’s laws do not include protections against hate directed at people for their gender identity or sexual orientation, though Democratic lawmakers are trying to change that. Environmental groups and the PA Department of Environmental Protection have reached a $2.6 million settlement with a plastic manufacturer for polluting Raccoon Creek in Beaver County, northwest of Pittsburgh. And a deeper dive: In our increasingly online world, lots of people struggle today to find connections with other people. But one western Pennsylvania man has found a way to use the internet to connect with his extended family - thousands of them.

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we're chasing down the beginnings of a Pennsylvania hemp fiber supply chain. We start the day in southern Lancaster County at Steve Groff's farm, standing in the middle of what he calls his “hemp canyon,” with towering stalks over fifteen feet tall. Groff has about 60 acres of the Australian hemp variety MS-77, which seems to do well on Groff's farm. He's also working on a green decorticator. If the machine works as planned, it could change the way fiber hemp is harvested — cleaner, faster and without the need for retting. From there we cross the Susquehanna River into York County to visit Dave Cook at Tuscarora Mills in Red Lion. Dave and his partner Heidi Custer are working to turn Pennsylvania-grown hemp into yarn and fabric. Their mill is full of antique looms and their goal is simple but ambitious: To revive textile production here in the Keystone State using local hemp fiber. It's still early days for a Pennsylvania supply chain, but the work Groff and Cook are doing points toward a future where hemp textiles are grown, processed and woven right here at home.
