Maggie discusses the crucial role of family farms with Wisconsin Farmers Union (www.wisconsinfarmersunion.com) President Darin Von Ruden and author Brian Reisinger, highlighting the economic and legislative challenges they face. Reisinger's book 'Land Rich, Cash Poor' paints a stark picture of dwindling farms, urging a revamp of outdated agricultural policies. Von Ruden emphasizes the need for fair market practices and a revival of local food initiatives, cut short by political decisions. The discussion points out the critical link between sustainable family farms and national food security, pressing for bipartisan efforts to ensure their survival.
