I've always had the notion that if I took care of my two acres it
would some how resonate and effect the local then the larger state.
This based on the Chinese Ideal that the individual must be in health
before the family can be which grows to the community then state.
Hence my own perhaps our interest in gardening local.

Guess I have been screwing up royally by this ideal obviously in the
last few years. Hope tomorrow inspires me to do more on my end.

Obama will limit farm subsidy payouts to $250,000 per farm, and tighten
loopholes that allow Monsanto and ADM to subdivide their huge
sharecropper empires into hundreds of paper companies to rake in
taxpayer money. He wants farm relief to help keep family farms
sustainable, not to keep Monsanto profits rising.

He will strengthen pollution standards on large megafarms so that they
don't keep dumping their toxic sludge into our waterways.

He will push through a packer ban so that meat packers no longer own the
livestock and treat herders like sharecroppers.

He will immediately and strongly implement country of origin labeling on
foodstuffs.

He has an investment program to strengthen regional food systems and
organic farms, and a crop insurance modification to end discrimination
against organic farmers.

He will implement a recruitment and education program to help more young
people learn to farm, as well as tax incentives to help new farmers
start their first farm.

Obama: he's got it right about agriculture.

(And yes, I am going to keep posting stuff like this until the "all
style no substance" BS disappears from GD-P)
