Strangely enough, I have a post brewing on some Vilsack developments...just need to get the time to get it together. A friend had a heart attack on Monday, so things are a little crazy this week. Stay tuned! Thanks Scott. Strangely enough, I have a post brewing on some Vilsack developments…just need to get the time to get it together.

Roberts comments (and Obama's appointment of someone with such strong big agri-business ties). We're actually becoming more and more aware of the health and environmental problems our current system.
