In this fast-moving, good-natured sparring match, Polyface Farm’s Joel Salatin trades jabs with Vermont attorney-turned-regenerative-farmer John Klar.

From $500-million-a-year lobbying blitzes to whether a backyard grower should accept government cash for a high tunnel, the duo tackles thorny questions you won’t hear on cable news:

• Does the Constitution even allow D.C. to pay farmers?
• Could “transitional” micro-grants jump-start small farms—or just spawn 10,000 Tyson spin-offs?If subsidies vanished tomorrow, would real food cost more—or finally cost less?
  
  

Join us as we ask: should government dollars grow kale—or simply get out of the field?

We’d love to hear from you! Our Community Question this week is:

Should we shift taxpayer dollars away from Big Ag to small farmers and then phase subsidies out all together?
