Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with Agriculture News. First up, President Biden selects Tom Vilsack as his Agriculture Secretary. He had previously served in the same post for eight years, under the Obama Administration. Then news that it's estimated that over 35-million Americans do not have access to wholesome food. Then, we meet a first-generation organic seed farm in Bridgewater, Maine, Jim Gerritsen. He and his family own and operate Wood Prairie Farm. WWW.WOODPRAIRIE.COM For over 40 years he has worked the 56 acres of cropland and has always stressed high quality and certified organic seed. He is also President of the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, and is at the center of an action against the corporate giant Monsanto in an effort to protect the rights of family farmers. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the Monsanto Monopoly and wonders why the United States Department of Agriculture needs over 100k employees.
