Host and Family Farmer Doug Stephan wwww.eastleighfarm.com reports news that the average Thanksgiving dinner costs about $21-Dollars, but the Family Farmer only receives about $9-dollars of that. There's also news about how Family Farmers can make money with the NFU's Carbon Credit Program. Next, we meet Renee King-Sonnen, the Rowdy Girl of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary www.rowdygirlsanctuary.org. It all started with a little 2-month-old baby calf that her husband wanted her to care for, hoping that she would want to be a “good” rancher’s wife. She named all the cattle and loved them. She’d go out and spend time with them, dance around them – sing to them and talk to them. Eventually Renee realized that she could not stand to watch the babies leave their mamas to go to the sale barn FOR SLAUGHTER. In 2015, Renee initiated an online fundraiser that would eventually succeed in raising $36,000, enough money to buy her husband’s herd and donate them to the new nonprofit – the first beef cattle ranch vegan conversion in the history of Texas, the United States and most likely the world. Finally, Doug opines about the midterm election and the people we elected. He opines that we need to hold-their-feet-to-the-fire, with regard to the new Farm Bill.
