"Improve" meaning hopefully abate. But I see how the word probably wasn't the best choice. Many days, I need all the help I can get. Thanks for the gentle reminder. </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/next-secretary-of-agriculture#post-233 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:40:41 +0000 Steve 233@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>Dear Susan,<br /> If you think President Obama wants to increase world hunger, I think you need to resign and get help. </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/next-secretary-of-agriculture#post-171 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:58:38 +0000 susancrowell 171@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>And this commentary today (12/24) from the New York Times: Food-system reformers are hoping Obama's desire to improve world hunger, and his stances on climate change, energy and health care will also mean changes within the ag system. <a href="http://bit.ly/vkCh" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/vkCh</a> (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/24/dining/24food.html?pagewanted=1) </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/next-secretary-of-agriculture#post-170 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:12:31 +0000 vmdairy 170@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>The former Iowa governor is a good choice. Some of the more left leaning of us are upset that he is not from the 'tofu' crowd, but the president-elect realizes that the ag secretary must represent that portion of American agriculture that feeds the vast majority of us. </p> http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/topic/next-secretary-of-agriculture#post-138 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:33:34 +0000 susancrowell 138@http://www.farmanddairy.com/community/ <p>In a recent blog post, ABN's Andy Vance weighs in on possible Obama sec. of ag picks (http://tinyurl.com/6qd3ro).
