under the andy boy brand. and while they farm a wide variety of produce, some of their biggest sellers as of late are romaine hearts, broccoli rob, and a big hit among culinary professionals, fennel. >> this is the field of fennel. and you'll notice it's got a nice white bulb and a beautiful fern. and, really, all the plant's useable in cooking. >> cooking with it is one thing, but just getting people to try it is the first thing farmers like the d'arrigos hope to do. recently, they teamed up with local chef todd fisher and together the farming team and the cooking whiz whipped up new recipes for some old favorites. and in the end, they came up with a whole new way to get people to eat their veggies. >> to see the realization on people's face when you prepare it properly and they go, wow, this is something that i--wow, i really like this now, as opposed to this astringent, bitter vegetable. so, i like working with it because it's a challenge for me as a chef, but it's also so gratifying to see a guest enjoy something th they may

in the 2008 farm bill. peanut growers change their program from a supply management program in 2002 to a market and loan program. we eliminated the old quota system. this included a price reduction from $610 per ton to $355 per ton. the growers will lose even more as they suffer a reduction due to the elimination of the storage and handling fees. peanuts are a semi-perishable commodity. it is economically unfiles i believe for the producers to store peanuts on the farm. peanuts need a controlled envoorment. pea require intense management which the farmers do not have the skills to do. to go from a loan price to a three loan price. elimination of the storage and handling program could certainly impact food safety. the safety of the product. now, the sellers basically controls 75% of the peanuts after the peanuts leave the farmers' control. since the peanuts are semi-perishable and due to the high concentration of the shelling industry, farmers are at the mercy. sellers could possibly force the farmer to accep

. >> everything we eat does, indeed, start on the farm, including basil as the main ingredie in the family's famous pesto recipe, which brings us to supherb farms in the san joaquin valley. >> this area is the best place in the world to grow herbs. this area, from the delta to, probably 40 or 50 miles south of here, you get the combination of warm temperatures and then the nice delta breeze in the evening to cool things down. so, it is absolutely the best place in the world to grow herbs. >> harvesting at the first sign of daylight is just part of everyday life here, as the fresh basil is plucked from the ground, shippeto the nearby processing facility where, during the busy season, almost 100 tons of basil are trucked in here daily. >> this is basil that was harvested this morning when we were out in the field. we brought it to the factory. we've unloaded it. and now we're washibg it. >> here, the basil is cleaned, flash-frozen at 40 degrees below zero. brr! and then the stems are removed and sold to local dairies for feed. >> so, what we've done now is we've frozen the product, and then th

and so i am going to urge my colleagues that let's write the farm bill when it's time to write the farm bill. let's put together programs that are good for production agriculture. i would remind a lot of folks when we look at this farm bill, a lot of people don't understand all of the things that are in this, and it's called a farm bill, ag appropriation bill, but quite honestly, a majority of this bill is about food stamps. it's about nutrition programs, and a very smaller percentage of this bill has to do with production agriculture. i think one of the things we have to be extremely careful here, and this is the reason we need to do it right and do this in regular order is today america is dependent on 70% of its oil in this country. every day we have to go up and find 70% of our oil has to be imported in this country. and just recently the united states of america, half of its credit is due to foreign countries. and so today we are importing today. today we have to immortgage money to finance our deficits. what we want to be extremely careful is in the future we don't -- americans do

the farm produces bean sprouts. it has been closed. german officials are waiting for the results of testing to establish whether there is definite proof of a connection. german authorities have advised people not to eat bean sprouts. they want to know if other foods were contaminated -- perhaps at a market or at the farm itself. questions are asked about why spanish farms and spanish cucumbers and tomatoes were initially blamed for the e. coli outbreak. at an eu meeting in luxembourg, spain has made it clear it expects compensation. >> we want to ask for compensation for the serious and irreparable damages spain has suffered. it will also ask the european commission to strengthen and improve the alert messages on food safety. >> more than two thousand people in germany have now been infected by the e. coli bacteria. the cases have been concentrated around hamburg. hospitals are overstretched. there have been infections in 12 other countries, linked to travel in germany. german officials say they're almost certain the form they have iden

i welcome that debate as a part of the 2012 farm bill process. which will in effect begin next week. the agriculture committee will be auditing farm programs for effectiveness and efficiency and then will input from across the country on the best way to support our farmers and ranchers while making good use of taxpayer dollars. discussing farm programs in the context of a farm bill will represent honest, transparent policymaking. this amendment prevents that discussion from taking place by altering the terms of the contracts with farmers once they've already been signed. protecting farmers during catastrophic weather events is the least we can do to maintain a stable food supply in our country. my colleagues in the midwest have seen firsthand the devastation that comes with flooding. my colleagues in the southwest know how droughts can turn healthy farms into desolation. for that reason alone i urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. but i also urge you to oppose it because policy changes like this should be conducted within the broader conte

number two regarding the farm, the farm is my father-in-law's farm. it's not my husband and my's farm. it's my father-in-law's farm and my husband and i have never gotten a penny of money from the farm. >> as for the clinic according to the "los angeles times," the money was earmarked for training and employees and training that benefits the clinic. as for not getting a penny from the farm, her own financial documents show that's not so. they reveal between 32 and $105,000 between 2006 and 2009. in public, she was railing against and voting against federal foreign payments voting "no" on a 2008 farm subsidy bill and the next year she wrote agriculture secretary tom vilsack praising the programs and asking for more. quote, i would encourage you to take any further steps necessary to prevent further deterioration of these critical industries -- meaning benefiting her constituents and herself while she rails against big government intervening in the marketplace. bob schieffer asked her about that yesterday on "face the nation" and she dodged the question

it caused mold to develop in the areas in gilroy and other farms around the bay area. strawberry crops are sensitive to moisture and an entire field can be lost to mold. farmers tell us the damage will be minimized if it doesn't rain tomorrow. >> so on that point what is expected to happen tomorrow? >> let's check in with sandhya. >> we may see a couple more showers first thing in the morning, but very light. as you look at live doppler 7hd, you can see that the heaviest rain and the thunder that we had, everything has moved out and we still have the possibility of rain. look at this picture. this was submitted by ma ry el at yahoo! .com. it is a beautiful shot of the rain in san francisco. as you look toward the trans america pyramid you can see the photo. please keep them coming. we would love to see your photos. with all of this rain i want to bring you up-to-date our rainy season ends in two days. we are doing great. santa rosa just over 40 inches of rain at 129% of normal. san francisco is 129% of normal. oakland, well above average will -- average. 132% of normal

it's saying that all the roots point to this farm. the question will be whether other vegetables are also grown at the farm and whether other farms are involved as well. but at the moment, it looks very much, and the way they're talking is it looks very much as though they think they found the source. >> and is this to do with the use of manure at the farm? what specific practices could be behind this? are we clear yet or not? >> we are a little clearer. this farm apparently is an organic farm, so immediately you think it would be the manure. but apparently, in this farm, they don't use manure. it's basically done in sealed containers with seeds. these bean sprouts are fertilized. but that apparently is ideal for the growth of e. coli bacteria. so the fact that it's organic may be incidental in this case. if people say, well, this just shows organic is not safe much in this particular case, it may not be proven that way, because it's not that fundamental way of growing crops in the organic fashion with manure. >> now, in iraq, at least

linked to the little city farm, but also the other farms are represented. we are proud to be supportive of the san francisco urban alliance activism. and hopefully around the world. i also want to say that our head of food policy is here. i know at what help us make sure that children and residents, not just their but in the neighborhoods that have a healthy and locally grown produce will have more access. at a recent panel that we were on, and want to see this expanded to every single square mile of the city. this is a really good start but we need to implement the mayor's initiative. we have to be the shining example for the u.s. and also this world. thank you for being here, everyone. >> i also want to recognize his supervisor avalos. next, i want to introduce a community representative that played a key role in policy development, and that is of the sentences of zero urban agriculture alliance. they promote the growing of food through advocacy education and grass-roots actions. >> today is a good day for san francisco and urban agriculture. san francisco

the first place. we'll keel with that in a new farm bill. they dealt with that in the old farm bill. many of us stood here and warned and said this is trade distorting. the w.t.o. will rule against this and we'll end up with trade sanctions. the ag committee went ahead and did it anyway. didn't fix the problem. they will say, well, you tried, we tried, it's not the direct payment, it's the counter cyclical. it's the other programs that we have and until that is dealt with, we are going to have these trade sanctions. so when the ag committee says let us deal with that, i would remind people we have let them deal with that and they haven't. so we have to go about it in another way. and i would simply say we cannot continue to subsidize our own ag interest this way, in particular this cotton program, when we know it's out of step with our international trade obligations so you can go about it in two ways, you can say we are not going to pay brazil, this amount, this protection money, or whatever you want to call it, this tribute, and then they will force us -- that will force us to deal

policy -- and this deals with farm policy -- that the senator from south dakota, mr. johnson, and i agree on most everything on farm policy. and this is a piece of legislation that's probably going to come up not so much stand-alone as when we discuss the reauthorization of the farm bill, which generally could start this year and probably go into next year. but i want my colleagues to know that this is an effort that i'm not giving up on. it deals with the issue of how much one individual farmer should get from the farm program. and so my approach is to put what you call a hard cap on the amount of money that one farmer can get. my remarks will explain why. also, though, in a time when we have great budget deficits, people might think that i'm introducing this bill just because i'm concerned about the budget deficit, because this bill, if enacted, will save about $1.5 billion. but that's not my main purpose for doing it. my main purpose is to have the historical basis for a safety net for farmers to -- the principle that our safety net ought to

speaker, goes on top of the farm bill which was the 2008 farm bill. i sometimes do better thinking about this chronologically, but in 2007 when we discussed and debated the farm bill in the house, the chairman of the ag committee at the time, collin peterson of minnesota, provided for and supported language in the farm bill that carved out a $100 million authorization for the -- a second round of pigford. and when i objected, and i said, mr. chairman, that will open the door for $1.3 billion in additional money to go into that fraudulent pigford claim, his answer was, no, it's $100 million. that's the end of it. that's the limit. that caps it. and that settles all outstanding claims. you don't understand, this is the end of it and make sure it's done and it doesn't open the door beyond $100 million. we had a disagreement. some would call it an argument about whether it opened up to $1.3 billion, which is what i said. that was my assertion, mr. speaker. or whether the then chairman of the ag committee was right in that $100 million was the cap. well in

the world. each acre wheat farm has become more and more productive, particularly over the last century. america has moved from subsistence farming of the 1920's and 1930's to being the world's largest food exporter today. this e evolution was not preordained. american producers and based science in pursuit of greater productivity. technology emerged from imagination, creativity, and hard work of scientists from usda, land grant universities, and the private sector. i would say that the principle number 1 as we address this issue of global few -- food security lies in innovation. it arises from research and development. higher productivity need that, at the expense of conserving our natural resources. american farmers have taken steps to take care of our nation's natural resources. in the last 30 years, usda has helped producers to reduce soil erosion by more than 40% and agriculture has gone from being one of the leading causes of wetland loss in the country to leading the nation in wetland restoration efforts. our forms also helped capture carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. f

the way that we should do business. arbitrarily changing eligibility requirements for farm programs outside of the farm bill is irresponsible. it seriously undermines farm he is ability to make long-term scomplans investments, and it adds a dangerous element of uncertainty to the market. the result would be reluctance to make investments in equipment and practices that increase productivity. host: the other point of view, and we should highlight these are two republicans. the division is within the republican party. guest: yes and farm subsidies are an interesting thing because, of course what it seems to track is not republican and democrat, but whether you're in a farm belt state, whether you're representing a farm belt state because, of course you want that money for your constituents, and that's got nothing to do with, you know, whether you're republican or democrat. this is also on the agriculture committee, and he wants to have the agriculture committee be the one that decides policy, not the appropriations committee in an appropriations bill. host: let me go through and caution you. i'm going to put a lot of numbers
