Thanks for this.
It's good to know there's some movement toward Local Food sustainability
relative to this bill.
Do you know how to post an article like those mentioned below, or the
original one in your last email on Facebook?
Can you write a post and just include the link? I'm new to social
networking and am not savvy on how to work the programs.

Thanks,
Carolyn
