Sacramento, Ca., : A new weekly public television show that celebrates

the miracle of American agriculture and the farm and ranch families that

help make it possible will hit the airwaves this fall, it was announced

today. America's Heartland will profile the people, places and products

of U.S. agriculture. The magazine-style, half-hour program will focus on

our national love for the land, our fascination with food and the

bedrock American values of family, hard work and independence that make

our agricultural system the finest in the world.

In announcing the ground-breaking series today, the series, two flagship

Supporters-- Monsanto Company and the American Farm Bureau Federation

(AFBF)-- along with the show's producer, KVIE, the public television

affiliate in Sacramento, Calif., said they are proud to collaborate with

other U.S. agriculture groups to raise awareness of the significant

contribution that agriculture makes to the quality of American living.

America's Heartland supporting contributors include American Soybean

Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Cotton Council,

United Soybean Board and U.S. Grains Council.

It's to bad I always liked farm bureau and I am member but the last

couple of years I have not liked the direction in which they appear

to be heading. They seem to be more concerned with farm bureau than

with farmers, whom they supposedly represent. Starting to look like

another coop that is more interested in helping itself instead of

it's members.

I am glad you are starting to see the light. They did a thing on

them a few

years back on Dateline or 60 Minutes. Anyway they are a huge

lobbying force

for industrial agriculture. I quit that group a few years ago.
