The Farm Bill Failed — Now What?

The Farm Bill Failed — Now What?

In this episode, Christopher Todd Edwards of TicBite NC and Army of Orange discusses the collapse and defeat of the controversial Farm Bill language that alarmed hunters, houndsmen, farmers, and rural Americans across the country. For months, concerns grew over provisions many believed could eventually impact hunting with dogs, animal training practices, livestock traditions, and rural culture itself. Now the bill has stalled — but many outdoorsmen believe the fight is far from over. This episode covers: • Why hunters were concerned about the Farm Bill • The controversy surrounding anti-hunting language • How public pressure and awareness influenced the debate • Why many believe similar legislation will return later • What rural Americans can learn from this political battle Sometimes legislation doesn’t fail because people in power suddenly changed their minds. Sometimes it fails because ordinary people finally started paying attention. 🎙️ Hosted by Christopher Todd Edwards TicBite NC / Army of Orange © TicBite NC 2026 #FarmBill #Hunting #RuralAmerica #ArmyOfOrange #TicBiteNC #Houndsmen #OutdoorLife #Politics

Stolen Hounds. Convicted Thief. Dogs Still Missing.

In this episode, Christopher Todd Edwards of TicBite NC discusses the heartbreaking case involving Madison Rast and her two stolen Treeing Walker hounds, Remmy and Major. The dogs disappeared during the 2024 Grand American Coon Hunt, one of the biggest hunting events in the country. Authorities later identified a suspect, and a conviction for grand larceny followed — but the dogs are still missing. This episode explores: • What happened at the Grand American • The emotional toll on the family • The investigation and court case • Why hunting dog theft is devastating to owners • The ongoing effort to bring Remmy and Major home For many houndsmen, these dogs are not “property.” They are family, hunting partners, and part of a way of life. 🎙️ Hosted by Christopher Todd Edwards TicBite NC © TicBite NC 2026 #MadisonRast #StolenDogs #HuntingDogs #GrandAmerican #TreeingWalker #ArmyOfOrange #TicBiteNC #BringThemHome

Will Oregon Make Hunting Illegal? | The Truth About IP 28
