Adapt or Die: Bryce Knorr Featured on Food Chain Talk Show

For the past six decades, US Secretaries of Agriculture have told American farmers to "Get big or get out!" and to "Adapt or die!" And so they did. This leads us to ask, "Where have all the farmers gone?"

This Saturday at 9AM Pacific, the Food Chain with Michael Olson hosts Bryce Knorr, Senior Editor of Farm Futures magazine, and Martha Works, Professor of Geography at Portland State University, for a conversation about metropolitan agriculture.

Listen anywhere, live or delayed, on your radio, computer or IPOD at www.metrofarm.com.

Topics include how economies of scale changed the business of farming; why small farms are moving to the city; and where the greatest opportunities for new farmers may be found.

Listeners are invited to call the program on their local station or log them to the Forum page at www.metrofarm.com.
