I'm not sure about the record of Pres. Obama's Ag Sec, but a good place to start is the Senate Ag committee. Newly appointed Senator Gillibrand is a least known to support farmers like us in her home state. Lets hope she gets on the Ag committee. Meanwhile we should organize a campaign to contact all of the current members and push our agenda. Anyone interested in pursuing this can contact me via our website. http://www.slfarm.vpweb.com USDA is never going to side with the small sustainable farmer unless we enlist the aid of gov to force it to.
