An Intro to Farm Subsidies and Cheese Caves! With Mackenzie Behrle

This week registered dietitian Jessica Wilson chats with agricultural teacher, Mackenzie Berhle, about farm subsidies and cheese caves. Mackenzie talks about agricultural check off programs, and the dairy buyout (or buy back) program. They discuss got milk? and milk in school lunches.

The two get into Big Cheese, and cheese caves and Jessica is very confused about where and to whom the money, milk and cheese flow.

Also, Mackenzie shares her experience checking out farming in caves and her incredibly expensive cheese.
