Governor Touts New Farm Environmental Program

How do you bring farmers, environmentalists, Republicans and Democrats in Virginia together?  How about a new program to protect the environment, while giving farmers in the Old Dominion a break from future regulations?  On Monday, August 25, Governor Terry McAuliffe and some Virginia lawmakers got together at a farm in Weyers Cave to celebrate the new program.  WMRA’s Andrew Jenner reports.
