Recession fix: Back to the farms

| | Comments (0)

The Japanese government has a quandary not dissimilar to ours in the United States: Young people out of work and a need for a better, stronger fresh-food farming industry.

So they've actually started sending young people out to help work the fields in rural areas as part of their stimulus plan.

Figuring out how to employ the unemployed instead of bailing out bankers? Now there's a novel idea.

But I digress.

What do you think about this idea? Should we think about it in the United States?
