Wal-Mart to begin buying fruits, veggies from state growers | NewsOK.com

I think this will raise prices slightly, but it will help out our local farmers a lot. I just hope the blue giant doesn't try to use its power to crush the market price of produce.

Now, if we could just get them to buy more from US manufacturers...

I appluad WalMart for doing this.
Shipping from long distances tend to have less quality goods, and it costs not only in energy but pollution.

I dont like walmart, but thats cool.

I really prefer the local farmers market.
The only one I'm familiar with is at the OSU-OKC campus.
Any others?
