Jim Hightower—Fighting the Powers that be for the Powers that Ought to Be
Hilarous and insightful Texan populist and former Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of Texas, Jim Hightower, takes the stage! Hightower starts "happier than a flea at a dog show", recognizing that the powers that be are "as confused as goats on astroturf".
Hightower calls for smart, collective action BY farmers FOR farmers for economic justice, sustainability and more.
He delivers the wisdom we need with a stiff, sweet dose of good Austin,Texas humour.
