Max Armstrong reports on his visit to Washington, D.C., as part of Washington Watch with the National Association of Farm Broadcasting. He shares insights he gained from a conversation with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who discussed the need for balance between profit and productivity. The key challenge today is to have enough food supply for developing countries which are not stable and could face further challenges with food shortages.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
