The Smell of Money - Jamie Berger
Hog farming in North Carolina produces much more than meat -- it also causes major environmental issues, destroys quality of life, and breeds political corruption. Producer and writer Jamie Berger stops by to discuss her documentary, "The Smell of Money," which gets the name from the stench these farms put off in the surrounding communities. Learn more about her work at www.smellofmoneydoc.com.

Dollar Stores and Food Deserts in DeKalb County with Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson
What do you know about DOLLAR STORES? Although they're pitched as a solution to food deserts, too many in one area may actually create them -- and increase crime at the same time.
DeKalb County Commissioner Lorraine CochranJohnson joins Farmers Jam Radio to share her work towards ending food deserts and reducing crime by banning the creation of new dollar stores. Fascinating insight! Of course, we loved learning about the new urban farm in DeKalb County.
