CORBY Kummer, journalist and author, writes in detail in the “Atlantic” about Walmart’s’ new program called “Heritage Agriculture” This will encourage farms within a day’s drive of one of its warehouses to grow crops that now take days to arrive in trucks.

Also reported in his article is the Department of Agriculture’s in USA new policy of “Know your Farmer, Know your Food”
