    Unscripted: Crisis in the Heartland ‒ A Farmer’s Warning for American Agriculture

    This week on Unscripted, hosts Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths sit down for one of the most raw and revealing conversations yet—an unfiltered look at the financial storm sweeping across America's farms. Arkansas farmer Adam Chappell shares a powerful firsthand account of how soaring input costs, plummeting crop prices, and corporate consolidation are pushing family farms like his toward the brink of bankruptcy. His warning is urgent and deeply personal: “We’re running out of time.” From the silent epidemic of farmer suicides to public misconceptions about ag wealth, this episode exposes the emotional and economic toll facing multigenerational farming families. It’s not just about crops—it’s about livelihoods, legacy, and the fight to stay rooted in the land. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Unscripted: Challenging the Open Fields Doctrine — Defending Property Rights and Privacy

    In this week’s episode of Unscripted, Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths are joined by Farm Journal’s master storyteller, Chris Bennett, and constitutional attorney Josh Windham for a powerful conversation on the growing tensions between property rights and government authority. At the center: the Open Fields doctrine—a nearly century-old legal loophole that allows warrantless searches on private land across 1.2 billion acres in the U.S. From hidden trail cameras to drone surveillance, they unpack how modern technology is colliding with outdated legal precedent. Windham, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, explains how he’s using state constitutions to challenge these intrusions—arguing that it’s time to overturn the 1924 Hester decision and restore true Fourth Amendment protections.

    Unscripted: The Iowa Farmer Looking to Revolutionize Federal Crop Insurance

    Hosts Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths welcome veteran Iowa farmer Ben Riensche, one of five farmers invited to the White House to advocate for the continued use of glyphosate. Drawing from decades of hands-on experience, Riensche shares deep insights into the agricultural industry's evolving challenges, needs, and innovations. In this episode, Riensche weighs in on a proposed alternative to federal crop insurance—an innovative model resembling Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Under this concept, farmers could set aside funds during profitable years to buffer against future losses, reducing reliance on traditional crop insurance programs. This approach aims to empower farmers with greater financial autonomy while potentially curbing fraud and improving resilience in the face of volatile weather and markets.
