Jim Douglas has proposed cutting all but two of the state's meat inspectors. What would this do to plans to strengthen Vermont's agricultural economy? Plus Tom Stearns, president of High Mowing Organic Seeds in Hardwick, talks about how the jump in demand for gardening seeds has affected them, and what they're seeing as other places around the country try to catch up to Vermont in building local food systems.
