Video: From Rural America: Ideas for new Secretary of Ag

 Last Wednesday, President Elect Barack Obama announced Gov. Tom Vilsack from Iowa as the new Secretary of Agriculture. In rural Oklahoma, indeed most of rural America, young people are leaving to find better lives for themselves in urban areas. The incentive to stay in their hometown or return after college is limited and new farm blood is hard to come by.

But according to Oklahoma conservationist farmers Clay and Sarah Pope there is ample opportunity to revitalize rural America, retain youth, and bring in new blood.
