And think about it, it drives the process of export of our farm products.
The whole farm subsidy thing is perverted. And a lot of the "big" farm bill is food stamp program. Few in the public realize it.
The whole farm insurance program is intermingled with the regulatory beast in DC.
A friend told me this: "Farming is easy, if your pencil is your plow and the nearest farm is 1,000 miles away."
He was correct.
Funny but true.....Reminds me of the old joke: In the Department of Agriculture one day, a bureaucrat in the agency noticed a co-worker with a long face. He inquired, “Why the long face?” His co-worker said, “My farmer died.”
I used to deal with the USDA (and FDA) on a daily basis. What a disorganized organization. It's no wonder the farm program is such a mess.
