American Family Farmer

American Family Farmer and Host, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news that the Senate wants to ban two ingredients in pesticides. Then another item in the news "Can Climate Change Destroy Farming As We Know It today?" Next, we meet Co-Farmer in Chief of Cox Farms, Lucas Cox. www.coxfarms.com Lucas grew up on the farm, and while his parents, Eric and Gina, are semi‐retired they still make their opinions known in that special way parents do. In 1972, they created the Cox Farms Fall Winter Wonderland Festival, which has grown to become the largest and most popular seasonal event i n the Washington, D.C. area. You can pick your perfect wreath and tree, warm up around the fire, and enjoy some tasty treats, like kettle corn, apple cider donuts, cinnamon roasted almonds, local honey and preserves, now through December 19th. Finally, Farmer Doug opines about a self-driving farm robot, that can kill over 10k weeds an hour, without the use of pesticides.
