How did you get the link--did you grow up in the Midwest?

Sorry that I missed the NPR program . . . sounds like it must have been interesting.

Didn't grow up there, but I was born there and have lots of family there.

I just heard it on Seattle's NPR broadcast this afternoon, then I looked it up. From what I heard, it sounded pretty neat. Especially the composting toilets.

I was kinda upset b/c I seemed to have missed a segment about Monsanto. I'm going to see if they have a pod cast of it.

I think I heard they were going to talk about how small farmers are getting together to fight Big Ag and Monsanto.

Yeah, the last few seconds I did hear sounded like a town hall meeting with some Monsanto folks getting asked some pretty tough questions. The question I did hear had to do with sterile seeds. (So the farmer couldn't save them.)
