This week in Small Business

Meet the Matt and Anne Burkholder. They’re family farmers on a 5,000-acre spread in Nebraska’s Great Plains who are catering to corporations seeking commodity crops and individual consumers willing to spend more for organic. The mix is what helps them thrive in this era of industrial agriculture.

Then hear from Small Business Administration chief Karen Mills, who is trying to warm small businesses to the White House. Check in with small companies and advocacy groups reacting to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the core of Obama's health-care reform law. Get the latest on alumni groups that connect entrepreneurs with angel investors. Finally, flip through our profiles of social entrepreneurs, and vote for the one you feel holds the most promise.
