A compromise in NC

Here is a follow up to an earlier story about the controversy over the delivery charges for the farm to school program in North Carolina. From Tne News Observer:

State agriculture officials announced a cost-saving compromise Monday aimed at salvaging a popular program that purchases fresh, North Carolina-grown produce for school lunch programs from the mountains to the coast.
Under the agreement, Foster-Caviness Foodservices, a Guilford County produce company and U.S. Department of Defense contractor, agreed to slash its delivery fee from $4.30 a case to $1.65 for fresh fruit and vegetables delivered to schools by state agriculture trucks.
