Episode 57 - A Food Freedom Victory? Massie, Salatin, and the Future of Ag Policy

from Appalachian Farmcast

Send us Fan MailThis week, we’re thrilled to have Tye Ward join us on the podcast for the first time! We’re diving into some exciting news: Joel Salatin, the self described Christian, libertarian, environmentalist, capitalist, lunatic farmer, author, and sustainable agriculture advocate, has accepted an advisory role with the incoming U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Even bigger news Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie might be tapped for the top spot! If Massie steps into this role, it would be a monumental win for small farmers, consumers, and the fight for food freedom. With his strong support for liberty and sustainable agriculture, Massie could bring real, much-needed change to the department. From Cody at Winnow Glen Farm and Tyler at Pike Mountain Farm.

American Vendetta: A Story of Barbarism in the United States by Theron Clark Crawford Loyal Books The phrase "The Hatfields and McCoys" conjures up images of feudal warfare and Appalachian backwardness even to this day. This is a sensationalized account of the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys along the mountainous border of Kentucky and West Virginia in the late 1800s. At the height of the feud in 1888, yellow journalist T. C. Crawford interviewed Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield in person at his headquarters in West Virginia. Crawford's stories were serialized in a New York newspaper and later published in book form.The accounts of the Hatfields and McCoys led to the still-common, unfair stereotype of the ignorant, backward, trigger-happy mountaineer. While the violence in the Wild West was romanticized, the violence in the Appalachians was vilified and exaggerated. The resulting sentiment was that the mountain folk needed civilizing, which the railroad and coal mining capitalists were eager to provide . . . in exchange for their land, autonomy, and generally happy way of life. Sandstone and Pine Rosin Sandrock Recordings Sandstone and Pine Rosin is a collection of traditional songs all about the people, places, and events of the region surrounding the Cumberland Trail project in East Tennessee. A 300 mile hiking trail stretching from the Cumberland Gap to Signal Point, the Cumberland Trail passes through some of the most musically fertile country in the US. Featuring local musicians, many of whom grew up within miles of the trail, this anthology contains a rich variety of traditional Appalachian music, much of it never before released. From the northern end of the trail come tracks like “Cumberland Gap,” “Pinnacle Moutain Breakdown,” and “Coal Creek March,” while “Goin’ to Chattanooga,” “Buddy Won’t You Roll Down the Line,” and “Sequatchie Valley” serve to represent the music of the regions traversed by the southern end of the trail as it leaves the mountainous plateau and travels down through the Sequatchie Valley to Chattanooga. Many styles can be found on this collection, ranging from classic murder The Trail of the Lonesome Pine John Fox, Jr. Experience the timeless beauty and power of the Appalachian Mountains with John Fox, Jr.'s beloved classic, 'The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.'
