The Farm Bill

The Farm Bill
What I do know about the agriculture business is that bigger is not better.  Small farms have become major contributors to our nations economic growth. What I do know about small farms is this...
1. they tend to feed their local community
2. most small scale farms don't rely on government subsidies which have been proven to be detrimental to our nations economy.
3. small scale farms are less likely to have a negative environmental impact on the land
To learn more about the farms that produce your food and why the Farm Bill may not be good for our country check out:
