Appalachia Matters- USDA Cuts Farmers, Leadership Table, Kniting the Ole Fashion Way, Rail Bikes Farm Policy

This week on at the Leadership Table with Retired Major General Jim Hoyer, he sits down with Phillip Cantrell, retired command sergeant major in the U.S. Army and former senior enlisted leader of the WV National Guard. They discuss his role as an Intergovernmental and External Affairs Liaison with Senator Joe Manchin and his message to veterans and young enlisted military members in West Virginia.

The Rooted In The Mountain State section focuses on an artisan who knits and spins her own yarn. This segment is produced by The West Virginia Department of Agriculture.

We talk with Agriculture Commissioner Kent Leonhardt about items of concern for farmers and producers as well as his efforts in the legislature to help promote WV Farm Products.

In our fourth segment we talk about two programs the USDA has cut which impacts local farmers, schools and food banks. We will get Senator Shelly Moore Capito’s take on the cuts.

In our final segment we hear about Tourism Day at the State Capitol including a rail bike excursion located in Clay County.
