USFR is currently hosted by Tyne Morgan and is based in South Bend, Indiana, along with its daily companion series, AgDay. The program is owned by Farm Journal Media, a Philadelphia-based company that owns a number of agricultural media properties including Farm Journal magazine.
Streaming full USFR episodes are available on the station's web site.
Each week, two separate half-hour versions of USFR are produced, each with a different focus. Television stations can air either one of the half-hour shows as a stand-alone program or air both shows back-to-back as a single one-hour program. Most stations air the full-hour show.[1]
In 2009, RFD-TV picked up the show, and airs the program twice weekly, on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. Orion Samuleson and Max Armstrong have had a longtime working relationship with RFD-TV even before the move of USFR. They later moved to a competing program with a similar format, This Week in Agribusiness, which airs on many of the same stations as USFR; Armstrong still co-hosts that program as of 2021, with Samuelson having retired from broadcasting the previous year.[2]
In 2010, Investigating Free Money, which is a Kevin Trudeau production, aired on Fox through USFR.[3][4]
