Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com reviews Ag News of the day. The next round of payments from the Federal Government is likely to once again benefit large factory farms and not the Family Farms. Statistics show that only 12-cents of every Thanksgiving food dollar will go to the Farmers. That amount is down from 14-cents last year. Ice Cream manufacturer Ben and Jerry's is taking flack over using ingredients from the large Factory Farms. Next, we meet IBM Food Trust Offering Director Suzanne Livingston. www.ibm.com/food Suzanne is bringing transparency in the food chain, accountability, and traceability to retailers, suppliers, farmers and more using the power of blockchain and with an incredible global team of scientists, engineers, designers, inventors, growth hackers, and more. Finally, Doug opines about the hardships caused by the wacky trade deals. Fact: 57% of Farms are behind on paying their Bank loans.
