  • Summary

  • Is it best that our food is Local and Organic or Big and Conventional? Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed. The host, Rodger Wasson is a food and agriculture veteran. Although he was the first of his family to leave the grain and livestock farm after five generations farming in America, he’s continually worked for and with farmers though-out America and around the world. From directly managing commodity boards and councils to presently building the strategic consultancy, Idea Farming Inc., the Farm to Table Talk podcast has been created to satisfy the curiosity of today’s engaged consumers.

  • Farm Adjacent Communities – Clayton Garrett

    Farm Adjacent Communities – Clayton Garrett
    Apr 19 2024
    Cities keep growing but that doesn't mean we don't want to be around a farm. In fact when you can't live in the country then how about bringing the farm to the city? That's what Clayton Garrett shares is happening in Houston and other cities. It may be surprising to farmers who have experienced mixed results when city folks move to the country and become their neighbors. Clayton Garrett is a farmer and founding partner of Meristem Communities, a Houston based real estate development company exploring how healthy communities are developed and nourished, often with farming in its midst. indigocommons.com

    Barons, Really – Austin Frerick

    Many Farm To Table Talk listeners somehow got a version of the Barons podcast that had the right intro but with a different podcast. We're sorry about that and just in case here is the real interview with Austin Frerick. Rodger Wasson

  • Barons Power – Austin Frerick

    Barons Power – Austin Frerick
    Apr 11 2024
    Local agriculture has become an extraction economy and to change there will have to be change in who has power. Food system power is largely in the hands of 'Barons' according to Austin Frerick, the author of "Barons - Money, Power, and The Corruption Of America's Food Industry." The case is made by examining powerful barons in grain, grocery, dairy, berry, coffee and meat industries. Domination is not a new story and it has been blunted in the past such as the reining in of the "Robber Barons" of the late 1800's. Solutions can be found again by actions such as resisting the 'southern model', institutions prioritizing local, resisting mergers and acquisitions and leadership from the USDA. @austinfrerick austinfrerick.com

For those who love farms and good food

This podcast always offers interesting insights about food and farming. Whether you are interested in practical ideas and tips for small-scale farms, or the latest in farm policy, this is one of the best podcasts I’ve found. The guests are always folks who are involved in hands-on work, or have first-hand expertise to share. The show host asks great questions and I look forward to listening each week.
