Saving Family Owned Dairy Farms - Brenda Cochran
Manage episode 455957057 series 3620798
Episodes 5 through 8 are all about farming, ranching, fishing, and our food supply system here in America. The special and outspoken guest on Episode 5 is Brenda Cochran, co-founder of Farm Women United. Cochran has been a dairy farmer for nearly fifty years; her husband was born and raised on a dairy farm; and they are now farming in Pennsylvania. Together they raised and homeschooled 14 children. Cochran has a lot to say about the struggles of dairy farmers, the destructive policies of the US Department of Agriculture, and the future of our food supply here in the United States.
The discussion is wide-ranging and deeply emotional as Cochran details how USDA policies have made it impossible for farmers to cover their costs of producing the food that America needs.
