American Family Farmer

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news about the rising costs of farming. Number one concern is the rising interest costs on loans, followed closely by the costs of feed, fertilizer and fuel. Next, we meet Dr. Erika Scott, PhD, Deputy Director of the New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety. https://necenter.org The Northeast Center works to identify actionable solutions so that ag, fishing and forestry workers can survive and thrive on the job — whether that work is a passion, a paycheck or a combination of both. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about pooling farm resources and suggests that farmers form groups to share farm equipment among neighboring farms.
