By Warren Olney • • 50m ListenOn this rebroadcast of today's To the Point, for the first time since 1920, the Agricultural Census is showing an increase in American farmers.

Maybe they've contributed to your Thanksgiving dinner. Also, a Black Friday preview, and the last new movies before the end of Oscar season.
