  • Summary

  • Wednesday, January 22 - Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including surveys showing consumption of dairy products is at a record high, especially butter and cheese, new research shows agriculture in America has the potential to be greenhouse gas negative, and why more people are putting solar on their farm. Then, Doug introduces us to Jim Linne, MD, a first generation farmer and owner of White Clover Farm. The farm is family owned and locally operated, and is certified 100% grass-fed by the American Grassfed Association. White Clover Farm tracks their cattle from birth to consumer to ensure they remain a safe and healthy food. Jim has seen first-hand the connection between good nutrition and health, as he practiced gastroenterology for 35 years before dedicating his time to the farm, which he’d purchased in 2005. The property was a former corn and soybean farm and, to minimize soil erosion, all of the fields have been converted to permanent pastures and hayfields. The goals of White Clover Farm are land stewardship, sustainability, regeneration of soil fertility and biodiversity. The health of soils, plants, animals, and people is inextricably linked, and Jim does everything he can to keep the cattle happy and healthy, and without the use of chemicals of any kind on his pastures or cattle. Lastly, Doug opines the provisions for farming and agriculture under the new Trump administration, which actually goes back to his first presidency, as well as the importance of a system that rewards farmers for the value of the work and the quality of the product produced on the farm.
