Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with the latest Agricultural News, including news about the narrowly avoided train strike and the current lack of young farmers, with today's average age being 60. Next, we meet Meg Plucinski of D & M Family Farms, in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. https://www.dmfamilyfarm.com/They are a small, organic dairy farm in Southeastern Wisconsin, and operate their 300-acres where their animals are grazed, intensively on well-maintained, award-winning pastures. They also raise chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle. A devastating fire recently burned their barn to the ground. without a place to milk the cows, D & M Family Farm is at a standstill. "Everything we worked for this summer is gone and our income is gone." When the fire broke out, neighbors lined the road with their trucks to help relocate the cows. The help didn't stop there, friends, neighbors, and
even strangers all jumped in to lend a helping hand. Looking ahead she said things are a little uncertain, but she's hopeful they will rebuild and continue their dream. A fundraiser has been set up to help the Plucinski's rebuild and continue D & M Family Farm.
