About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Jerry Coplen about the Farm Bill and its implications for dog trainers and upland hunters, alongside challenges in farming and the beef market.

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Knox County Extension Agent Jerry Coplen to discuss the proposed Farm Bill, including language around “live lure” that could have implications for dog trainers and upland hunters. The conversation also dives into the challenges facing American farmers, the current state of the beef market, and what it was like growing up on a farm. Jerry shares his thoughts on raising resilient kids, and the guys touch on the growing skepticism many Americans have toward institutions—highlighted by ongoing debates over something as fundamental as dietary guidelines.
