  • From Cotton to Grits: Preserving a Family Farm Legacy with Kinlyn Hinson

    From Cotton to Grits: Preserving a Family Farm Legacy with Kinlyn Hinson
    Sep 30 2026
    On this episode of American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) is joined by Kinlyn Hinson of Hinson Family Farms in South Carolina about family farming, agritourism and the importance of helping people understand where their food comes from.

    Kinlyn shares the story of her family’s farm, including the role cotton plays as a major cash crop in South Carolina, how responsibilities are divided across generations, and the ways the farm has expanded its connection with the public through tours and educational experiences.

    The conversation also highlights one of the farm’s most distinctive traditions: using a family stone mill to make grits. Kinlyn explains how preserving practices like this helps connect the farm’s history with the work being done today.

    Doug and Kinlyn also discuss agricultural education, her experience as a Watermelon Queen and the impact FFA had on her leadership development. Throughout the episode, Kinlyn reflects on the value of giving children and families firsthand exposure to agriculture and keeping family farm traditions alive for the next generation.

    The Changing Face of American Farming
    Sep 30 2026
    Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) examines some of the most significant challenges and opportunities facing today’s farming community. The conversation explores the mounting pressures facing America’s farmers, from rising fuel and fertilizer costs to trade policy, beef imports and consolidation within agriculture.

    Doug shares the stories of farmers finding ways to adapt, including Wendy Johnson’s diversification efforts and generational farmer Matt Bell, while examining legislation such as the Fairness for Small Scale Farmers Act and its focus on competition and consolidation in agriculture.

    The conversation also explores the changing face of American farming, including the growing number of women entering agriculture, and the increasing role of agritourism as farmers search for additional sources of income and new ways to connect consumers with the land.

    Throughout the episode, Doug questions how current federal trade and agricultural policies are affecting small and family farms and highlights the resilience farmers continue to demonstrate as they navigate economic and market challenges.

  • The Future of Farming: How FFA Is Growing the Next Generation of Agriculture

    The Future of Farming: How FFA Is Growing the Next Generation of Agriculture
    Sep 23 2026
    With more than a million members nationwide, the National FFA Organization is helping introduce a new generation to the enormous range of opportunities available in agriculture.

    This week on *American Family Farmer*, host Doug Stephan welcomes Kristy Meyer of the National FFA Organization for a look at the future of farming and the upcoming 99th National FFA Convention & Expo.

    Kristy takes listeners inside the convention, from its growth and changing attendance needs to more than 350 exhibitors helping students explore potential careers. She explains how FFA combines classroom education, hands-on agricultural experiences and leadership development while remaining deeply connected to local chapters and the communities they serve.

    Doug and Kristy also discuss opportunities for young people who may not have grown up on a farm. A single farm visit, mentor or hands-on experience can introduce students to careers they may never have considered—from production agriculture and agricultural education to science, technology and countless other areas supporting the food system.

    The conversation also explores the growing role of women in FFA leadership, the need for more agricultural educators, how sponsorships help support FFA programs while maintaining the organization’s educational mission, and where FFA members go after graduation.

    It’s an encouraging look at the students, teachers and communities preparing to lead American agriculture into its next
