Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news about the Department of Agriculture initiating a $400-million dollar Dairy Donation program as part of the larger Pandemic Assistance Program. Then, Doug talks about why beef ranchers are not reaping the benefits of higher consumer beef prices. Next, we meet Rebecca Bates Sloane of the Bates Turkey Farm. www.batesturkey.com The farm began in 1923, the day Aunt Mamie Bates gave her nephew, W.C. Bates, Sr. and his new wife, Helen, nine turkey eggs as a wedding present. Since then, four generations have operated the farm with one purpose, to produce the finest turkey to grace a table. Bates turkeys are free range, grown in Alabama the old-fashioned way. They are grown to their full-breasted best, in a stress free environment under the cool shade of pecan groves. They also have a farm restaurant, The Bates House of Turkey, www.bateshouseturkey.com . Finally, Farmer Doug opines that our goal is to provide good quality products at a reasonable price.
