This link to an article in today's New York Times makes an excellent point. The time has come to end the Department of Agriculture and replace it with the Department of Food.

Bounty of the Barrens Market
Sustainable Glasgow Board Members: Jerry Ralston, President, William Travis MD, Dan Iacconi, Suzanne Barrow, Louise Mann, William Ray, Joe Trigg, Sarah Shirley, Kristin Hildabrand, and Andy Moore.
FAQ about Bounty of the Barrens Market 2015:
The market will be in its winter location at the Barren County Cooperative Extension Office, on second and fourth Saturday mornings from now through mid April!
We are going to have some very cool enhancements to the 2015 market. We are reworking our layout to allow the vendors to be closer together so it is easier for our patrons to visit all of the vendor tents. We are also happy to announce that we will have a special guest vendor each Saturday -- someone with some special item that is not normally seen at the market. We will have more on this later.
Want to be a vendor at this year's BOTBFM? Click here for information about becoming a vendor.
NOTICE!
Keep monitoring this spot and our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sustainableglasgow for information about upcoming music performances and other events at the market.
We also have a Facebook page now for the market at www.facebook.com/botbfm check it out too!

Excellent piece. We should be encouraged that these issues are getting broader attention.
Barren County is perfectly situated to act NOW on food.
Think globally(or nationally) and ACT LOCALLY.

Some interesting insight...
I always love telling people the lobbyist I hate the most are corn lobbyist. Ethanol is pointless. High Fructose Corn Syrup is only cheaper then sugar due to tax payers absorbing the initial cost.
Also been warning people the economy will only get worse and to make friends with farmers.
