Passage of the 2007 Farm Bill may occur this year in September, but to insure a bill that promotes an abundant supply of healthy, nutritional foods and rewards sustainable farming practices, will require that citizens let their legislators know they are watching their farm vote. There is a tremendous amount at stake, not just for the small farmer, but for everyone who values health, nutrition, good land stewardship, and domestic energy production. If ever a time, it’s time now for a food fight!

Politics can often seem far removed from our present reality; sometimes, far removed from reality itself. How many of us know much about the Farm Bill, or realize how much over the decades it has shaped agriculture production in this country? For those inclined towards disinterest, or for those unaware, this segment may put fire in your belly.

From the Farm Bill to the situation in Sadr City — updates on JOURNAL stories.

Thanks to new technologies Americans are more productive every year. But our guest today says we're suffering from information overload. Where do you find the time to think? Is the sunny weather outside making you think about the importance of leisure in your life (or its absence)? Plus, how much of memory loss is normal? We talk to Sue Halpern, author of a new book, Can't Remember What I Forgot: The Good News from the Front Lines of Memory Research. Also today: the latest news about the link between breast cancer and Vitamin D deficiency; and how the new farm bill will affect Washington State.

Furthering the conversation, Dan Imhoff explains how there are cracks appearing in the alliance. A number of opposing interest groups may be coming together to push the Farm Bill toward rewarding better farming practices: encouraging farmers to grow nutritious foods, and employ farming methods that preserve the land for future generations.

Almost 25% of the Farm Bill provides 23 billion dollars in subsidies to farmers who grow commodity crops, but almost no money to help farmers grow crops that are healthy for people to eat. According to Dan Imhoff, the system of farm subsidies rewards bad farming practices that harm the land, and places the farmers who want to employ good farming practices, at a clear disadvantage. In Part 3, Imhoff explains the inequities of the Farm Bill, and offers some suggestions to help remedy these problems.

The Farm Bill comes up for renewal every 5 to 7 years. But upon passage, that is just the beginning of a yearly battle for allocation of those funds. Part 2 reveals the surprising truth about what the Farm Bill really offers, and how it has evolved from its original purpose.

The 2007 Farm Bill legislation will cost taxpayers $90 billion dollars in farm subsidies, and will only benefit a small percentage of farmers. Indeed, Dan Imhoff, author of Food Fight: The Citizen’s Guide to the Food and Farm Bill explains, little money goes to the small farmer, and almost nothing to promote the production of fresh foods for healthy human consumption. How did we come to have farm bills that actually promote diet related illnesses? Historically, what was their original purpose, and how has the farm bill changed in recent decades? This is part one of a continuing conversation with Dan Imhoff that examines the federal Farm Bill program.

Just back from being under fire in Sadr City this week, award-winning journalist Leila Fadel, Baghdad Bureau Chief for McClatchy, gives viewers on-the-ground analysis of the latest events and close-up look at the state of the war. And, Bill Moyers talks with Marth Nussbaum, the Ernst Freund Distinguished Service Professor of Law and Ethics at University of Chicago, about church and state, and her newest book, LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE: IN DEFENSE OF AMERICA'S TRADITION OF RELIGIOUS EQUALITY.

As food prices go sky high and millions go hungry in America, why are tax dollars being spent on farmers who don't farm? Bill Moyers Journal teams up with the PBS series Exposé: America's Investigative Reports to follow the trail of Washington Post reporters who uncovered more than $15 billion in "wasteful, unnecessary, or redundant expenditures" that have flowed from Washington to America's farmers.

The broadcast looks at shortages at America's food banks.

Bill Moyers talks with the president of Bread for the World about the challenges of combatting hunger.
