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.

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.
