On the Blog: My Town
So we fought to make this farm bill better. We fought to limit commodity subsides to the biggest farms who do little good and much harm. We fought for meaningful investment in rural small business development. We fought to limit corporate control over family livestock farmers and ranchers.
It is a fight that can be frustrating and mentally draining. But my town is worth it, and rural America is worth it. And that is why the effort to bring fundamental reform to the farm bill is not wasted effort.
We can do better for farmers and rural people, and I rest well knowing we are standing up for a just cause. We – many readers of the Blog for Rural America and this newsletter included – stood up for what was right. And we gave them a hell of a fight. In the end that is the only way we will win.

age discrimination
My Town:
Read your town as it sounds like my town as age discrimination has had a profound impact on our towns when we intentionally did not invest in our young america while giving the money and providing special treatment to old america from which we made excuses for it, covered up the facts and today we still do not recognize the impact age discrimination has had on our industry.
