Unintended consequences of our agricultural policy

I've written before about our nation's ag policy and the damage it does to the environment and our nations health. Today Andrew Oh-Willeke links to a discussion of how national ag policy impacts local land use.

Having a President from Illinois who appoints the former Governor of Iowa as Ag Secretary does not lend one to be optimistic about changing our national Ag policy. Big Farm is a very powerful interest group, as powerful as AIHIP or Phrma to be certain so legislative reform is highly doubtful as well.
