Here are parts 1 and 2 of a 60 minutes (American TV) segment on an organization called the Farm Bureau.
What was once an organization set up to support small farmers in the US, has turned into something completely different. Indeed, it’s turned into something completely irrelevant to small farmers .
Patrick – firstly apologies for the ‘test’ messages. I was having trouble adding a comment and so tried a couple of tests. Please delete them.
The comment that I wanted to make was that, I have viewed the 60 minutes program attached and sadly was not that surprised by its contents. That sort of corruption is typical of the malaise in the US at present. Although its very conservative agenda was particularly scary.
Around the same time I viewed the program, I also saw a recent article highlighting how a former Monsanto exec has just joined the US Food & Drug Administration as a senior adviser.
Unfortunately I don’t have a good news story to add at the moment although hopefully the spotlight on the Farm Bureau will force it to clean up its act.
