Richard Wiswall on the Business of Organic Farming

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:27:50 GMT

Most people who go into organic farming do so because they love to get their hands in the dirt, or they want to play an active role in producing food. Making a lot of money or managing a budget doesn't usually top the list. Richard Wiswall is a longtime organic farmer and East Montpelier resident who says the business side of organic farming can't be ignored. He spoke with VPR‘s Jane Lindholm about organic farming and his new handbook on the financial nuts and bolts of organic farming, called "The Organic Farmer's Business Handbook."

Robert Kuttner Discusses Single-Payer Health Care on VPR

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:11:28 GMT

wo nationally known health care policy thinkers will be in Vermont this week, engaging in a debate over health care organized by the Janus forum at UVM. Yesterday we heard from Arnold Kling of the Cato Institute, who argues that while our current system of health insurance is broken, a universal single-payer plan similar to the kind used in many European countries is not the way to fix it. Syndicated columnist and co-founder of American Prospect Magazine Bob Kuttner disagrees. Kuttner says the first red herring about single-payer health care is that it limits choice for the patient, and if you want proof look at Medicare.
