America’s midwest is one of the great agricultural zones of the world. The wheat, corn and soybean fields feed millions around the world. And to help meet demand, farmers are trying a novel approach – they’re growing their crops indoors. Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Chicago.

Every household spends £400 each year to subsidise farmers
Related Stories
Farmers’ leaders have urged ministers not to bring in plans to cut subsidies by 15% and transfer cash to wildlife protection in England and Wales.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) has written to every MP, saying the plan to share £3.5bn of farm grants would disadvantage British farmers.
The NFU also warns MPs that going ahead with the move would risk rural votes.
The government said the money would help to build on the “success” of its environmental and rural growth schemes.
Wildlife groups have used newspaper advertisements to urge the government to keep its countryside commitments.

On 15 June, Ethan, 16, was driving with a blood-alcohol level three times above the legal limit. He lost control of his speeding pick-up truck and killed four pedestrians. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to serve in a high-priced California drug rehabilitation centre paid for by the parents, with no jail time and 10 years of probation.
It’s the court case that has made the “affluenza defence” a household word, as Ethan’s lawyers successfully argued he had a diminished sense of responsibility due to his wealth, pampered childhood, and absentee parenting. Ever since the sentence came down, the media have been rolling in shock and outrage.

In just a few years, drone aircraft might be delivering orders from Amazon to your door — at least, that’s what Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said. But first states and the federal government are wrestling with the implications of many new, pilotless aircraft — how they might affect civil liberties — and how to keep them out of the way of manned aircraft in skies that are already crowded.
