06/02/22 - Bringing Farmers And Customers Together

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with announcing that June is officially Dairy Month. Trending right now are the prices for cows and how they are market based. Record high beef prices are being seen right now, as the grilling season begins, and the cost of propane is rising. Watch out! Avion Flu is also on the rise. Next, we meet Jim Roberts, Chairman of the Board - Farm to Consumer Foundation. www.f2cfnd.org The foundation's mission is to educate and bring local farmers and customers together. They have a report on how farmers and consumers in Michigan were able to form a co-existent relationship with the Department of Ag, so fresh milk could be produced and distributed. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about the need for all farms to make an attempt to become self-sustaining.
