  • In the eastern Corn Belt region of the United States, grain and cattle farmers say they are dealing with 40% inflation, making this year one of the worst in recent history. Because of the war in Ukraine, both diesel fuel and fertilizer costs have more than doubled -- and that’s caused the price of food to skyrocket. Farmers fear that 2023 could be worse. We also sit down with Georgetown University professor and economist Nada Eissa to answer a question millions of Americans are asking: Is a recession inevitable?

      I agree. We all need to be taught how to grow our own food, in our front and gardens, so we can relieve a strain off the farmers, plus feed ourselves and each other.

    I hate to say it but the truth of the matter is farming among many other things is ruining our planet and the way animals are farmed is downright disgusting and sad. There are better ways our government just dosent wanna start new. They want there money and that’s it. I’m watching this out of curiosity

    Last Time
    If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.Romans 10. 9-10
    so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.Hebrews 9. 28
