Daniel Imhoff talks about the Farm Bill, an economic and policy engine that drives the nation’s food and farming system and provides nutritional assistance to tens of millions of Americans. In Food Fight: The Citizen’s Guide to the Next Food and Farm Bill, Imhoff offers a resource to deconstruct this complex bill, and he urges people to vote with their forks.

Does your guest know anything about the pig farming raids that are taking place in Montana ?
It's an assault on local small growers
I just cannot understand why the one of the largest countries on earth with such vast amounts of luscious and fertile lands has to have taxpayers subsidize food growers! It's just incredible. There has to be a global free market in foodstuffs. Britain has been importing 50% of its food for well over a century now.
Don’t these forms of socialism mainly help red states
The farm bill not only perpetuates the brutalities against animals on family farms, but this year Senator Gillebrand has added a provison to gas geese at the Jamaica Wildlife Refuge.
