a:3:{s:16:"field_story_body";a:1:{i:0;a:2:{s:5:"value";s:766:"Michigan schools will buy Michigan produced fruits and vegetables under an new &ldquo;Federal Pilot Program&rdquo;. Do we really need to spend &ldquo;OUR TAX DOLLARS&rdquo; to create a federal program that tells schools to by locally produced fruits and vegetables? There is something drastically wrong when the federal government has to get involved at this level. Hopefully schools are already buying locally and that they don&rsquo;t need a federal bureaucrat or Senator Stabenow to tell them that. JUST ANOTHER SAMPLE OF GOVERNMENT WASTE!<br />
