Latest Episodes:

Farmville's Big Week 9/25/15 Sep 25, 2015

Show notes

It's been a big week for the little town of Farmville. Not only did the town learn it'll be hosting the 2016 Vice Presidential Debate, the annual Five County Fair's kicked off, and to top it all off, it's time for the local Friends of NRA dinner! We'll also check in on some new additions to the farm, and hear from some new friends of the fool as well.

Garden Discoveries and the Quest for Community 9/17/15 Sep 17, 2015

Show notes

Cam's still making some new discoveries in the garden, including a predator that came to prey on the chickens. We'll get into the presidential debates (are we ever going to get a question about rural life or farming?), bacon-making, barnyard bullying, and a look at a classic book of conservatism, now nearly forgotten but still full of wisdom.

Barnyard Politics 9/10/15 Sep 10, 2015

Show notes

A change in location for some of the farm animals has set off a round of vicious barnyard politics at Cam's place. Plus, with two hogs now at "freezer camp", it's time to turn some of that pork into sausage. Pull up a seat at the kitchen table and hang out with Cam, Miss E, Bulleit the Wonder Dog, and the kids on this week's 40 Acres & A Fool.

Hog Heaven 9/3/15 Sep 03, 2015

Show notes

There are fewer hogs on the farm, but there's a lot more pork in the freezer for Cam and the family this week. Plus, Cam talks about a recent trip to an exotic game ranch in Texas, and discusses a very important upcoming birthday in the family with Miss E.

What Makes A Farmer? 8/20/15 Aug 20, 2015

Show notes

"When are you a farmer?" Cam has the question posed to him by a listener raising chickens and pigs on three acres in Idaho. It's a question he's considered quite a bit, and he'll tackle the question this week, along with an appearance by Miss E, electro-fishing in the James River, and the latest from the 40 acres!

Fair Food and Farm Distilleries 8/13/15 Aug 13, 2015

Show notes

County and state fairs are springing to life across the country, and Cam's got a plan to hit several in the state of Virginia. Plus, the growing number of "farm distilleries" popping up in some surprising places, and a "foolish" question or two inspired by his latest trip to the local dump.

Farm Bubbles and Chicken Tunnels 8/7/15 Aug 07, 2015

Show notes

Cam's got company this week, and not just on NRA News Cam & Co. Friends old and new have been stopping by the farm, and so have some not-so-friendly visitors like a fox or two. Cam shares the latest attempt to protect his chickens from the local predators, and discusses the possibility of a financial bubble that could impact the nation's small farmers.

Homecoming Week Jul 30, 2015

Show notes

Cam's exploring southwestern Virginia on an epic one-day road trip before welcoming his oldest daughter home for a visit. Plus, we've figured out the trouble with tomatoes, and as it turns out, the "Fool" might have made problems in the garden worse instead of better. Cam also talks about a contest where you could end up with a Virginia farm all your own… as long as you've got the winning words.

Trouble in Tomatoland 7/23/15 Jul 23, 2015

Show notes

The veggies are growing, but there's trouble in the tomato patch. Cam's looking for great minds and green thumbs to help diagnose what's going down in the garden. Plus, we'll talk about makin' bacon, Cam's recipe for "Eggs Bloomberg", and check in with listeners from around the country.

The Future for Farmers and the Conservative Heart Jul 16, 2015

Show notes

Spend an evening under the stars with Cam this week as he talks about the latest from the garden, governors raising chickens, a proposal to help young farmers with student loan debt, and the powerful message of the new book The Conservative Heart by Arthur C. Brooks.
