Did you know there is a "secret" farm bill?
Mark Bittman's column today is an eye opener...and it ****ed me right
off. It's worth the read. It's about the farm bill, which STILL will pay enormous subsidies to big agribusiness while the small farmer gets the shaft. Did you know that small farmers who grow actual fruits and vegetables crops are called "specialty crops". Real food, sustainable practices.......ignored. Worth the read. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com...-farm-bill/?hp Might be worth our time to holler at our representation in DC doncha think?? |
