In this episode Deborah Niemann is joined by Brian Reisinger, journalist and author of Land Rich, Cash Poor, to talk about a subject close to both their hearts: the alarming disappearance of family farms in the United States.
Brian grew up on a multi-generational Wisconsin farm and brings a unique perspective as both a writer and someone with deep roots in agriculture. Drawing from his family’s story and extensive research, Brian explains the historical, economic, political, and technological forces that have shaped—and in many cases, harmed—family farming for over a century.
What You’ll Learn:
Why family farms have been disappearing for over 100 years
The ripple effect of labor, policy, and market changes on farm viability
The critical role of government research and how its decline hurts innovation
Why private companies should care about saving small farms, too
What we can do to protect the 2 million farms still standing today
