American Family Farmer

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with good news that The USDA's Whole Farm Revenue Protection Program is back. Also, in the news, off-farm revenue makes up roughly 82% of total farm income. Canned pumpkin is up $2-dollars from last year, but the most farmers will only get 19-cents out of every Thanksgiving food dollar spent. Next, we meet acting Administrator/Deputy Administrator for Product Management Risk Management Agency, of the USDA, Richard Flournoy. www.RMA.USDA.GOV Richard oversees the development and implementation of crop insurance policies. The USDA has rolled out a new insurance option specifically for agricultural producers with small farms who sell locally. It will be available at the beginning of the 2022 crop year. Finally, Farmer Doug opines, once again, about the Methane ignorance of Conservationists.
