		<description><![CDATA[Yes, the Farm Bill is one of those bits of legislation that reminds us of the truism that you don&#8217;t want to see laws or sausage being made. (And just in case we&#8217;re willing, Congress makes sure we don&#8217;t watch too closely.) I suppose if I were in Congress, I&#8217;d hold my nose and vote [...]]]></description>

Yea, that big ugly bit of legislation that touches our diets in very real but often hidden ways? Well, the House and Senate conference committee is trying to sort out the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering how long it&#8217;s been since I did a digest, there&#8217;s remarkably little local food news that seems to need passing on. Here, nevertheless, are some items of interest. Farm Bill again, and still. They&#8217;re finally getting around to resolving differences between the House and Senate versions of the Farm Bill. Our state&#8217;s pawn of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quiet week in the local food news, at least as far as I can find. Still, here are a few nuggets. Hunters hunt, hungry eat. A Kansas group donates deer that is processed, packaged and given to low-income families. Win, win, win. Casbah open for business. After many months of anticipation, the Casbah Market is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Among the small bits of good news regarding the Senate&#8217;s vote on Friday on the Farm Bill and various amendments was the news that one of my senators actually voted for the Dorgan-Grassley amendment that would have capped commodity payments to farmers at $250,000. I&#8217;d called the senator&#8217;s office a month ago or so, and [...]]]></description>

Interesting item #1: The Star, here in the heart of the farm belt, finally put a farm bill story on page 1. Maybe there&#8217;s been another one, but I missed it.

		<description><![CDATA[The 2007 Farm Bill is back in the news, back on reformers&#8217; agendas&#8212;and back to annoying me. The Farm Bill, like lots of political balls, provokes my political bipolar tendencies as I swing back and forth from idealism to cynicism. On the one hand, I understand and support the idea that this country needs an [...]]]></description>

At that link, you can read the news release or the entire report issued by the trust, a nonpartisan nonprofit group, including state by state information.
