From: Brian Sussman
Length: 00:51:56

Call-in talk show: Hold your lawmakers to account Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-0 The Farm Bill: Should Congress decide what's for dinner? Do agricultural subsidies make us fat? Do subsidies drive farmers off the land? Why can't kids in rural areas get access to fresh food in their schools? Americans spend $20 billion a year on farm subsidies, but what do they get in return? As Congress turns its attention once again to the mammoth Farm Bill, we ask Americans to weigh in about what they want from their lawmakers when it comes to policies affecting nutrition and food safety, rural economic development, school lunch programs, organic farming, conservation, genetic engineering, alternative energy sources, and so much more.
