    Crop Yields and the Weather
    Apr 30 2025
    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.

  • How to Cut Off-Book Costs

    How to Cut Off-Book Costs
    Apr 23 2025
    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.

  • Why Eat More Beans

    Why Eat More Beans
    Apr 16 2025
    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.
