“I did learn this that I had never known before. When we talk about globalization, when we talk about trade, you mentioned, for example, that 70 percent of the food that is consumed in the State of Michigan during the course of the winter is imported.

But again and again we heard that the small farmer just cannot make it. They cannot survive.”
