  5. Where Are We Headed? • How can government help farmers when making business decisions? • What can we do to improve the regional significance of our Ag Industry? • If the poultry industry was to leave the Chesapeake Bay region, what would happen to the grain industry here and where would our region get their poultry? • Under the current Farm Bill, the average American consumer spends $0.19 of every $1.00 of gross income on food, what will it be under the next Farm Bill? • Seeing the farmer’s continued stewardship of the land, how do we move the emphasis of the bay clean-up from the farmer to where the real problem lies?
