Title: Re: [market-farming] Food of the Future
Jill,
It's nice that you found some good news. I was to busy
fuming over this from the Bush's recent USDA nomination.
A SATURDAY FOOD CHAIN RELEASE FROM METROFARM.COM
(NOTE: a special
request for your assistance follows this release.)
There are simply too many
farmers! At least, that seems to be the contention of
Undersecretary of Agriculture for Rural Development nominee Thomas
Dorr. His solution? Replace family-scaled farms with
225,000-acre giants and reduce rural America to 1 farm for every 350
square miles.
This Saturday morning at 9am
Pacific on AM 1080 KSCO, AM 1340 KOMY, AM 1480 KGOE and 107.5KMPH,
the Saturday Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Iowa farmers Darrel
Bailey and George Naylor for a conversation about the Dorr nomination
for Undersecretary of Agriculture for Rural Development. Topics
include a profile of Thomas Dorr from his neighboring Iowa farmers;
what the industrialization of agriculture means to rural
America; and the security issues raised when many farm families are
replaced by few farm corporations.
Listeners are invited to call the
live program with questions and comments at 831-479-1080 or
831-477-1340. If you are unable to receive these radio
