The Secretary of Agriculture appoints members to the National Honey Board.
One of it's members has been under investigation for illegally importing honey from China (which is banned) that contained antibiotics that is also illegal in this country. China is currently employing various tricks to bring their tainted honey at .45 Cents a pound and likely subsidized, to market here in the US which undercuts American Beekeepers who adhere to the rules. At a time when the honey bee population is imploding our US Secretary of Agriculture is allowing more economic pressure to build up on beekeepers. American beekeeping is at the breaking point and our National "Leaders" just keep piling on more of the burden. As long as they get rich, "who cares?" . Is Washington now completely corrupt?

I think being a governor of Iowa is a pretty good qualification for for Secretary of Agriculture. Iowa produces 6% of American Agriculture using only 1.5% of its area, and its ranked third after California and Texas in total value of products produced...but honestly with nearly 3 times and 5 times the area of Iowa you`d think they could do more!

Genetically Modified Presidency. Everyone of his internal circle has connections to GMO's and Banks, remember there is no such thing as coincidence.

What's up with US News? Has yet another media outlet fallen into Obamaworship? Why can't you give us the QUALIFICATIONS, if any, that Obama's people have for their various offices? These cutesy little "10 things" articles are putting me into a coma! What does Vilsack know about agriculture? Sounds to me like just another lawyer turned professional politician!

I just wonder what Vilsack thinks of the AG programs being cut? Since Obama's announcement of the cuts for our nation's AG, I haven't heard anymore about it. Where are the cuts going to be exactly?
I hope we'll continue to supply our farmers their pay, supply our country with ample amounts of food in our grocery stores, will continue to supply our nation's public schools with USDA food for our children, supply USDA food for our nation's state food banks and food pantries, supply enough for non-profit organizations to continue to purchase bulk grains for 3rd world countries in need, continue to supply our nation, emergency food supplies, continue to supply our poor with commodity foods, and have enough food for trade to foreign countries.
I'd like to find out, where the AG cuts will be because its a scary thought of not having enough food in our stores and our nation's poor doing without, even moreso.

Louisiana Enacts the Most Comprehensive Advanced Biofuel Legislation in the Nation
Governor Bobby Jindal has signed into law the Advanced Biofuel Industry Development Initiative, the most comprehensive and far-reaching state legislation in the nation enacted to develop a statewide advanced biofuel industry. Louisiana is the first state to enact alternative transportation fuel legislation that includes a variable blending pump pilot program and a hydrous ethanol pilot program.
Field-to-Pump
The legislature found that the proper development of an advanced biofuel industry in Louisiana requires implementation of the following comprehensive “field-to-pump” strategy developed by Renergie, Inc.:
(1) Feedstock other than corn;
(2) Decentralized network of small advanced biofuel manufacturing facilities;
(3) Variable blending pumps in lieu of splash blending; and
(4) Hydrous ethanol.
Please feel free to visit Renergie’s weblog (www.renergie.wordpress.com) for more information.
