Default 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.
