Beef Imports, Seed Control and the Policies Shaping American Farming

What happens in Washington has a direct impact on America’s family farmers.

This week on *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan examines several developing issues affecting agriculture, from foreign beef imports and the outdated Farm Bill to seed trading and the ongoing debate over glyphosate.

Doug begins with the controversy surrounding imported beef and whether bringing in more foreign product actually lowers prices for American consumers. He also looks at consolidation within the meatpacking industry, government regulations affecting meat processing, and the challenges domestic cattle producers face in an increasingly global food system.

The conversation turns to seed trading and concerns over who controls the seeds farmers rely on, along with the global nature of organic food production and questions surrounding where America’s food really comes from. Doug also examines industrial poultry farming, food safety and the political divide over glyphosate and Roundup.
