South Carolina's Ag Commissioner Hugh Weathers is anxious about the 2012 Farm Bill, explaining that current legislation expires at the end of September. 

Weathers explains that this legislation is important because the farm bill isn't just for farmers, it impacts every sector fo the population in every state, with things like job creation, conservation efforts, energy independence and research.  And its especially important when you consider the drought much of our country is currently facing.
