Nathan Alderman is on talking about the legislation process in Virginia.  Nathan created a guide (LIS 101) walking through navigation of the government site, how to check on delegate votes and how bills move through to become a law in Virginia.

If you live in Virginia this is a useful episode for your toolbox to become a more informed citizen. Nathan makes this topic interesting and digestible. 

I hope you enjoy today's show. -Brad

Going to a supermarket in America is one the great wonders of the world.  You can buy almost anything you can imagine from all over the world - and if you consider everything that goes into that ear of corn or pound of ground beef it is amazing it doesn't cost orders of magnitude more. 

My guest today is Dale Martin who owns six farms over in Stuarts Draft raising crops and cattle.  Dale's father farmed and Dale has been doing it all of his life.  Dale talks about farming, the costs of equipment, practices and technology that has changed over time. 

I hope you enjoy today's show. -Brad
