Brownsburg Ind. no-tiller Mike Starkey shares his initial reactions to the agricultural funding cuts and federal freezing that the U.S. Government has executed on. While he expresses a general nervousness from his local farming community, Starkey says, “We’re going to somehow overcome if there's any issues with [funding] regardless, because I'm going to continue what I'm doing."
