www.FarmAid.org Since the 1950s, the number of chickens raised in the U.S. has increased by an incredible 1,400 percent. But during that time, the number of farmers raising all that poultry has plummeted by 98 percent. How can that be possible? Over the past few years, Farm Aid has brought attention to the problem of “corporate concentration” in agriculture. It can seem like an abstract and complex topic, but when you talk to the family farmers trying to compete in markets where just a few corporations dominate, the story of corporate power and its effects on us all becomes clear. So today, we’re bringing a couple stories that explain these issues from different sides. First, we answer a reader question: “I finally got around to watching Food, Inc. I was floored to see what poultry producers actually go through. Is this really what’s behind the chicken on my plate?” Our answer includes a clip from the film Food, Inc. (along with an updated video on how the poultry farmer featured in it has turned her farm around) and features graphics to help explain the changes that have taken place in the poultry industry in recent years.

Filed under: TV Trace Adkins didn't show much emotion upon being named the winner of 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice,' but there's little doubt that those representing the American Red Cross were celebrating. By besting magician Penn Jillette, Adkins earned another $250,000 for the charity, bringing his total raised to over $1.5 million. Sunday night's two-hour finale recapped the final ice cream challenge and included cameos by country stars like Billy Ray Cyrus and Thompson Square, 'American Idol' singer Taylor Hicks and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow presented a $300,000 donation to Adkins' team, accounting for more than half the money he raised on that night.

Filed under: Tour Spotlight It's back. The goat that became famous during a remix of Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' has resurfaced, this time sabotaging a Hunter Hayes song as he sang it live. And Carrie Underwood was the mastermind behind it all -- the superstar pranked her Blown Away Tour opener during his set in Alberta, Canada on Saturday (May 18). Hayes was performing when video of the goat appeared on the screens at each side of the stage. Two goats were shown, with the other being the same one featured with Swift's song earlier this year.

Filed under: Country News They're over a month early, but Chely Wright's twins are "thriving" after being delivered on Saturday (May 18) in New York City.

Last night, Country Music showed pretty much everyone how it’s done with superb performances by Kacey Musgraves, The Band Perry, and Taylor Swift on The Billboard Music Awards.
