04/23/20 - Why Are We Giving Aid To The Chinese?
Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com has news and opines about why our Government is giving aid to Chinese-owned Pork Producers, instead of American Family Farmers? Next, we meet Patrick Horan, who along with his twin brother have owned Waldingfield Farm in Washington, CT since 2006. https://waldingfieldfarm.com/ Patrick is responsible for all marketing, sales, general operations, as well handling daily farming duties when on the farm. The Farm was purchased by their great-grandfather, at the beginning of the last century and was for many years a working dairy farm. The onset of World War II, and the declining dairy industry in New England put an end to the farm’s milking operation, but for the next fifty years the farmland was worked by neighboring farmers. Today, it is active again by family and they have numerous restaurant clients, participate in seven farmer’s markets, have a wholesale distribution, and a roadside stand! Finally, Farmer Doug goes back to the Government's bailing Chinese owned Smithfield Farms out of bankruptcy.
