05/12/22 - Restoring Native Graslands

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news that with diesel prices rising to $6.00 per gallon, operating your farm equipment and getting your product to market is skyrocketing. The White House has announced a new Internet Services Plan for rural America. It's called The Affordable Connectivity Program and is intended to make high speed internet available to rural areas at a fixed rate of $30.00 per month. Next, we meet Patrick Keyser, who is the Director at The Center for Native Grasslands Management, at the University of Tennessee. https://nativegrasses.tennessee.edu/ The Center provides a scientific background to producers and land managers, enabling them to
effectively establish and manage native grasslands. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the USDA needing to issue more organic meat processing licenses.
