people who are in dire straits, one of the worst-hit areas in the economy was agriculture. the program began under top well, who was one of the advisers to president franklin roosevelt to document the conditions under which people were living. this was back when we did not have television. we had radio but a lot of places did not have electricity, so they could not listen to the radio broadcasts to find out what was going on in other parts of the country. they sent out photographers to take pictures of what was happening, and put these pictures into newspapers whenever they could and into magazines, trade journals and things like that. it was difficult to get newspapers to accept these photographs because nobody really wanted to face up to what was happening. but roy striker, who was an economist from columbia university was really persistent, he was the head of the project and he two newspaper offices, contacted newspaper people, magazine people and just really pushed and pushed to get these things published out until the reading public so they could see what was happening.

i was in the missile in this valley which was one of the heart of the agricultural industry, an english teacher got up and said her students had no idea who caesar chavez was. it's not only in austin. i believe a part of the reason that he has this from our collective memory and not gotten the attention that he deserves his because there has been until recently so little serious knowledge about him. there's been a lot of repetition of some very stories that make him into a one dimensional figure. a lot of people have known he was a much more complicated person, but there's been a reluctance to tackle this subject. i also knew from my earlier work that there was a tremendous amount of a material available and he was saying everything. he saved documents, hundreds of audiotapes of conversations and conferences. i knew it was this rich material that had not really been fully rewind. i think that he such an important figure in history and should be. a biography would go -- it would be an important step to exploring him to that position that he deserves. earlier works about the union and cha

example, the national bureau of labor statistics and secretary of agriculture henry wallace. appointed a physicist and president of the massachusetts institute of technology in 1933 to head a science advisory board. funded by the rockefeller foundation, for there was no appropriation. studyard got scientist to various government bureaus. in the course of his limited life, the board suggested that the study of basic science underpinned all other research and should become an end in itself. it also proposed a new deal for science using government funds to support research at universities. tooton's plan approved ambitious and was resisted by another fdr appointed buddy, the national resources board, headed by fdr's uncle, frederick delano. ultimately it failed to gain sponsorship. military research during the war period was minimal. an anecdote might explain why. in 1934, a board headed by former secretary of war recommended strengthening army research and development above the equivalent of $74 million that it was in the early 1930's. the army general staff and chief of staff re

in the last eight years in the whole of the agriculture department before that stop i believe the high interest rate policy this administration has followed has added $3 billion a year interest on the debt, which is a burden on the taxes. i hope under a different monetary policy would be possible to reduce that burden. possible to gain $700 million to a billion dollars in tax changes which i believe would close up loopholes on dividend withholdings and expenses. i have suggested the medical care and the bill which the congress now has passed and the president signed is fully implemented would cost a billion dollars on the treasury fund. they proposal i have put forward and which many members of my party support, which is medical care and finance under social security. it's less than three cents a day per person for medical care when they retire. in my judgment, we would spend more money on education, more money on housing, more money and i hope more wisely on defense than this administration has done. i believe the next administration should work for a balanced budget a

you are the agriculture commissioner for florida. canrote about what covid-19 teach us about food. covid-19 has exposed weaknesses in every link of the food supply chain. tell us about that. guest: here in the state of florida, we had first and we direct how our children are getting fed. of our over 2 million kids. we had to start redirecting where our kids were able to pick up food. when all of our restaurants shut down, our cruise line industry, our theme parks, our typical service industries, our farmers didn't have direct access to the people because everybody is so used to the farmers going directly to the restaurants or having a distributor distributing the food to larger establishments. handing to redirect how to get the food directly to the consumers was a challenge for all of us. we saw a $522 million hit in the state of florida. milk being spilled out. our food banks didn't have the capacity to handle so much the perishable food. they are so used to having some perishable food but mostly a lot of canned goods. being able to take the food that was coming off of our farmers

than in the field agriculture? ant, delivering it with as much as 95% less water. >> 95% less water, unreal. >> amazing. it's unreal. >> even more water is saved because these plants don't need to be cleaned. >> we grow zero pesticides, herbicides, fungicides. no soil. the soil is a cloth and the cloth barrier is the nutrients and micronutrients so the plants stay pristine, there's nothing to wash. we've eliminated that. >> this clean process is faster, too. the standard growing cycle of at least 30 days for greens like these has been cut in half at aerofarms. >> we grow a plant in 14 days, it's about 27 to 30 crop cycles a year. >> as opposed to three or four? >> yes. >> okay, so let me just put this in perspective. if we're able to take what could be done and what should be done aeroponically, vertically, indoors, we free up millions of hectares of land that can then be used to restore water table, soil health, and we have a healthier farming system? >> i love that concept. >> am i right? >> absolutely. >> amanda

yeah ok the government is actually spent about $5000000000.00 on the command agriculture with this truck to deal with the private sector was able to come in and actually fund culture so you know i'm not pessimistic about the possibility of actually raising the money and remain but to the people who are going to cook compensated have got some kind of network internationally who actually also want also to see this thing you know come to an end so i think if the government and the farmers get together they can possibly raise that that that's money what is also important yes i think that it is i think rejoice is correct in that the issue of implementation by this government has always been questionable so we are not saying this is everything you know hunky dorey this is double. when you work out there's a lot of conflicts of interest there's a lot of underhand deal how do we ensure for example that ministers who got 7 forms i think end up with one form is reported to have been pumped and who get the 7.61 that they didn't get allocated to the black people to the direct path of
