Reference excerpt

U.S. Farm Report is an American weekly syndicated television news program focused on agriculture, presented in magazine format, focusing on agriculture and agribusiness. U.S. Farm Report was created in 1974 by Orion Samuelson and premiered on January 1, 1975, as a half-hour program that ran for 30 minutes, syndicating commercially to local stations. In 2005, U.S. Farm Report became a 60-minute program, expanding the format from 30 minutes to 60 minutes. U.S. Farm Report covered major news items in and around the world of agriculture; we traveled with our cameras from coast to coast to present the very best in comprehensive and informative farm reporting. This capsule version of our efforts also provides viewers with the weather outlook, offering up-to-date forecasts, as weather affects agricultural news and helps viewers prepare from spring planning to fall harvest. In addition to legislative information on agriculture and agribusiness, U.S. Farm Report offers the opportunity to take a personal look into agriculture with commentary. U.S. Farm Report was first produced by WGN Continental Broadcasting Company from 1975 to 1984, and then by Tribune Entertainment from 1984 to 2007, and then by Farm Journal Media since 2007, a Philadelphia-based company that owns several agricultural media properties including Farm Journal magazine. Streaming full U.S. Farm Report episodes are available on the station's website. In March 2025, Farm Journal announced plans to launch a subscription video-on-demand service, Farm Journal TV. Following its successful streaming launch, it was also announced in April 2025 that the program would move to Farm Journal's FAST streaming channel along with AgDay and Machinery Pete TV. The first host of U.S. Farm Report was broadcaster Orion Samuelson, who hosted the program from the show's debut in 1975 until 2005, along with Max Armstrong joining Samuelson as co-host and reporter in 1977. In 2005, Samuelson left the show and was replaced by John Phipps. In 2014, John Phipps left U.S. Farm Report and was replaced by Tyne Morgan. In 2000, RFD-TV picked up the show, a run that would continue until Farm Journal disaffiliated from RFD-TV in April 2025. Orion Samuelson, the original host of USFR, had a longtime working relationship with RFD-TV even before the move of USFR. He later moved to a competing program with a similar format, This Week in Agribusiness, which airs on many of the same stations as USFR but is produced by competing farm newspaper Farm Progress; he eventually retired from that position in 2020.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with U.S. Farm Report

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what U.S. Farm Report claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to U.S. Farm Report before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about U.S. Farm Report ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of U.S. Farm Report

In research: U.S. Farm Report appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses U.S. Farm Report in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: U.S. Farm Report is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1975 American television series debuts, 1975 English-language television series debuts, 1980s American television news shows, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for U.S. Farm Report outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
