IN THIS EPISODE OF FARMWEEK -- "...The Chinese are famous for promising, not so famous for delivering." We have brand new signatures on phase one of the ‘China Deal.’ But will the Chinese stay true to the agreement? Plus… they’re ‘Bullish on Biofuels.’ Is there reason for optimism on ethanol? And… aquaculture is up 10% in the latest USDA census. Some producers are betting the farm on it. And finally, are you in need of a transplant? No, not THAT kind of transplant. We'll explain. Enjoy the show!
IN THIS EPISODE OF FARMWEEK, the USMCA is oh-so-close to ratification. But what happens now? Plus...still a fair amount of discord where the EPA's stand on the RFS is concerned. Also, “That Was The Year That Was” -- a look back at 2019 through the eyes of agriculture. And we say goodbye to Farmweek reporter Amy Myers -- leaving the show to pursue a whole new career.
IN THIS EPISODE OF FARMWEEK: The Dark Side -- Fraud in Agriculture Part 1. A USDA investigator talks about the dangerous side of his former job. In Southern Gardening, it’s Crape Myrtle "Murder" -- Gary goes CSI! In Ag Fraud Part 2, “Fighting the Feds.” What happens when it's not really fraud? A couple wins their case against the government, but they’re still behind the eight ball. And in Part 3, we met Joey Nelson a year ago, now he's back in jail, at the center of a double murder investigation -- accused of killing two ranchers.
The conclusion of “Back to the Farm.” In Part 3, a big change and a mountain of work for one family that said, ‘Goodbye City – Hello Farm Life!’ In Southern Gardening, it's called Shishi Gashira -- guaranteed to brighten up a winter day. Plus, this time of year, walnuts bring back memories, and they're BIG business for one company in Missouri! And in the final part of our four-part series “Back to the Farm,” the best laid plans don't always pan out.
“We’re “Back to the Farm.” It’s the perfect family farm story for the holidays -- about a family moving to the country instead of the other way around. In Southern Gardening, it might be cold outside, but that's no reason to stop landscaping! Plus, hop to it! Before we celebrate New Year's Eve, one of the main ingredients in craft brewing is also one of the most popular. And we end this week’s show with chapter 2 of “Back to the Farm.” You might want to grab a tissue!
The chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee says, ‘These were intense, argumentative, angry negotiations!’ We look inside the first-round approval of the USMCA. Plus…the China Deal: President Trump says, ‘The farmers are going to have to go out and buy much larger tractors.’ We've heard it before, but the markets are reacting this time. And…making a commitment. Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue says when it comes to ethanol, ‘15 billion is 15 billion.’ And finally in our feature, “Dominic's Garden,” a sweet story for the holidays.
IN THIS EPISODE OF FARMWEEK: What's up with trade? Think the USMCA isn’t happening until next year? Time to think otherwise! In Southern Gardening, the bigger the better -- big flowers and big color! In the markets, a different perspective today -- and it's all about a new path to ag leadership. And we're “Off the Highway” once again, this time in search of the perfect Christmas tree. Enjoy the show!
Are the numbers relevant? This week, we lead off with farm finances – and comparisons made between the years just before the 80s farm crisis -- and now. Plus, a new record high for greenhouse gas emissions. What do those new highs mean for the future? In Southern Gardening, Christmas is right around the corner -- and you know what that means! Time for seeing red? And…in an encore presentation, we're headed to the friendly skies, where we’ll find the “Air Force of Agriculture.”
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, just in time for a second look at pumpkins! In Southern Gardening, Gary gets patriotic with his “Heritage Cottage.” Plus...deer meat. It's what's for dinner for some. And finally, while a good many of us are chowing down on turkey, one organization is making sure many more won't go without.
In this episode of Farmweek, an already late harvest grinds to a halt in some places, thank to Mother Nature. And...as we wait for a China deal, is there another foreign market available -- just under our noses? In Southern Gardening, it's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a basket -- for supertunias! And in our feature, a farmers market that saves the most precious resource of all -- time!
