Wow. Now THAT is a letter! Facts, science, heart, common sense & Mr. Berry all packed into a beautifully written mini-dissertation. Here's hoping it lands on receptive eyes. Thank you.
Well done. Reminds me of when Wendell and Michael Pollan wrote a letter (to Obama? to Sec of Ag Vilsak?) about “A 50-Year Farm Bill”? —something to that effect. Don’t think their letter had much influence. Hope your letter is taken seriously.
Brilliant James. Stamford is blessed to have you as its mayor.
The bit about crop insurance was new to me - but so very infuriating. Farmers are natural innovators. Anything that stifles this is perverse.
Not only do I hope the Secretary reads your letter, but takes it to heart.

Excellent letter. Here in the UK we have similar problems and our government is trying to make things worse .
Production concentration leads to higher food prices. This bit happened tonight at my local burrito shop:
Guy runs out of shop says to buddies: I need $3, I only had $10 but it's not enough!
Buddy: What did you buy?
Guy: Chicken burrito bowl. Prices have really gone up!
