From the Blue Jersey Farm Bureau

Very nice, Jay (4.00 / 3)

I love your farm updates.  Keep them coming!

I think you'd like the movie that is coming out "The Beautiful Truth".  My local paper did a story on it and the interview I did in October.  http://nvsuburbanite.com/NC/0/...
I think people are finally realizing that caring about the environment includes food too.  The movie (hopefully) will reach a lot of theaters if they get enough financing.  Cinema Libre will be showing the film at Cannes and at Tribeca.  In it they show just how well sustainable agriculture really does work better than the old ways of doing things.

I am really excited that NJ is leading the way politically in dealing with these issues straight on.  When I got my degree in Agricultural Engineering in 1988 at Rutgers, I can't tell you how many folks made fun of me for being a "farmer" engineer.  Now, organic and how we raise food has gotten a lot more interesting to the public.  And not a moment too soon.

One Vote.  Yours.  It really does matter.

Thanks, Jay (0.00 / 0)

We need much more focus on our farmers, and our food.
