Host and American Family Farmer Doug Stephan, www.eastleighfarm.com begins with good news from a recent farm equipment auction he attended. Next, we meet Scott Faber, Senior Vice President for Government Affairs at The Environmental Working Group. www.ewg.org Prior to joining EWG, Scott led efforts to modernize food safety law for the Grocery Manufacturers Association, and led campaigns for the Environmental Defense Fund. He has frequently testified before Congress on food, farm, energy, water, and chemical policy issues. Scott holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, where he is an Adjunct Professor. Farm bailout payments designed to offset the impacts of President’s Trump’s trade war have overwhelmingly flowed to the largest and most successful farmers, according to EWG’s analysis of the latest Department of Agriculture data. It should be going to the small Family Farmers who are struggling to keep their heads above water. Finally, Family Farmer Doug opines that consumers who do not seek out the local farms for their food are a part of the problem of the decline of Family Farms.
