Judy Garland would have sung about this kind of farming

“Someday I’ll wish upon a star Wake up where the dust clouds are far behind me Where living roots grow around the year far below the cover crop That’s where you’ll find me” Well, now we know for sure I will never be hired as a song writer, but you get the drift. Josh Payne wrote […]

Tainted meat scandal in Brazil
