Sioux City puts its money where its mouth is
Sioux City, Iowa has been offering tax abatements to farmers who switch from conventional to organic farming. This left some farmers asking, “If I grow organic, who will buy it?” Now, there’s an easy answer– the county.
This is a great example of governmental responsibility, in my opinion. They will provide healthier options for their employees, encourage a better relationship with the land, and provide a living for those living nearby all at the same time.
