A new tainted food story coming out of the People's Republic of Cheating (China) that begs the question, "When are you going to STOP buying stuff from this lousy country?"
Do you know how to live rural? Nope? Well there is a new class that will teach you that comes out of the Missouri Extensionoffices in Kirksville, St. Joseph and Nevada. We'll tell you about it and give our own class on what they missed.
This week I returned from Israel. What is it about their fruits and vegetables that make ours...so ordinary? They don't call it the Holy Land for nothing.
Falling commodity prices are impacting Rural America..big time. Along with what's up with the Grocery Association? Can you spell PROFIT taking?
Yet another story about the effects nobody saw coming...except us...when it comes to the ban on horse slaughter. More horses being sent to slaughter now than before the ban. And, Congress is considering a ban on transport? That is NOT the answer...regulation of humane conditions is.
