Local Beef, Civil Defense, Coopers Farm and the Scoop on Reverse Mortgages

This week on At The Leadership Table, General Hoyer sits down with Dr. Nick Studer, an emergency physician, service member, and founding director and archivist of the National Museum of Civil Defense at Randolph Air Force Base in Randolph, Texas. Dr. Studer and the General discuss the role of civil defense in modern America, including defining civil defense and how its tenets can help shape future emergency preparedness and response efforts, including in Appalachia.

In our Rooted in the Mountain State we will play a best of report about the Coopers Farm in Points, WV in Hampshire Co. It is owned and operated by Tim and Becca Cooper and their children.

Locally sourced food is in great demand in this country. The USDA has documented a significant growth in this area of farming and food production. Also with the recent out break of food borne illness shoppers want to know who produces their food. We will talk with a long time producer, Valley View Farms.

Some seniors are pressed for cash and one option available to them is a loan called reverse mortgages. The home owner takes out a mortgage on their house and its not due until after they die. We talk with Bo Higby who is a loan broker and he will explain what these reverse mortgages are.
Before taking out a reverse mortgage a person should do their research and make sure they understand the consequences if they go do this path.
