On
this week's radio program Beyond Organic, join host Jerry
Kay, publisher of the Environmental News Network (ENN.com), as we learn
more about the good, the bad, and the future of the U.S. Farm Bill.
The president recently told Focus on Rural America that he "signed a good
farm bill, which is helping the agricultural sector, and part of the farm bill
is the conservation title, which encourages farmers and landowners to set aside
land for wildlife restoration, for land protection."
Sen. Kerry has also been supportive of the farm bill. But many farming
organizations across America think we could do better.
So, what is the current farm bill? And how can it be fixed? Guests include
George Naylor, president of the National Family Farm Coalition, and
Jimmy Daukas, vice president of the American Farmland Trust.
