Good morning! The 5am Hour brings us: new Medical Examiner facility about to open next month. Deanna A. Oleske, M.D.. Medical Examiner and project manager, John Jones, talk about new area that is set to open next month. Current facility is at the bottom of Sacred Heart Hospital. New vestibule gives privacy, new building has cameras and secuity, conference room, she purchased art - its 4 counties (the ones she sees) 3d wood carved and she (Dr Oleske) sees it and remarks for the first time (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton, & Okaloosa), internal secuity (card swipe access) , location - its right off of Avalon in Milton near industrial park; more centrally located - two investigators to be dispatched from facility instead of East West, its been promised for a long time (since November 2020); 20 million dollar facility; DNA testing, documents, invesigations, storage included with new place; UWF considering dropping WUWF, NPR radio; Farmer Ryan Jenkins from Life on a Farm joins us to discuss: farming can be a dangerous profession, does safety day every year, a lot of people have older, smaller tractors which lose their starting mechanism and sometimes they lose their safety features; rural and family lands program has millions in budget - 1 structure to 30 acres vs 15 acres?; preserving farmland we need to provide our own food rather than depend on another country to feed us; crops are about a moth behind due to weather we tarted w a drought we got some rain that made it a little later for farmers, cotton is growing - growth regulator on cotton; corn crop looks really good this year; last year w budget shutdown missed a funding source - will this be an issue since crops are behind? Not that big of an issue since its only a month, high fuel prices and high fertilizer prices. Farm fact: July 4th American Farm Bureaus says cookout for ten people cost $73.82 (seems low) its a 4 percent increase from this time last year. Pete Hegseth and the US Navy is giving you 1 year to shave your beard.
