The Environmental Working Group has just put out a superb short video that educates about the loss of essential top soil from the way farmers are planting.  The government subsidies support this waste of top soil at our expense – monetarily and healthwise.  The video shows ways farmers can conserve top soil.  If you think this does not matter to you, think again and watch the video.  Not only is our money being, literally, washed down the river, but our whole drinking water supply is threatened.  This, unfortunately, is another example where instead of collaboration, the money talks and everyone else be damned.  Please, support EWG and write your congresspeople about this issue.  You can see the video at http://www.ewg.org/losingground
