Obama calls for $33 billion cut in farm programs

[Larrry]

Preventitive planting insurance is just that "insurance"

The thing is when the government subsidiezes one segment the hurt another segment. The government needs to get out of the market yeild guesses and the sort it only drives the market. They need to get out of the thing like embargoes, why should the farmer be penalized for the govermnets bickering and fighting with other countries. Remember when the farmers in Calif and Oregon got told they couldn't use their own water for various environmental reasons. There are numerous enviro and goverment burdensome rules in the pipeline that will hurt the farmers.
Has anyone had to deal with wildlife damage and because it was the goverment they are SOL. They have to suffer the losses so the DOW can have their way.

So get rid of the government but get rid of them on both sides of the ball.

Oh and if corn farmers can market their corn for ethanol without ethanol subsidies then whose business is it to tell them which markets they can enjoy the fruits of.

And lets not pit the farmers against the ranchers, they are all in the game of food, companions, not enemies.

The wool check is not government money even tho they pay it. No tax Payer money involved in it.

Agreed, ranchhand. USA collected it from the foreign countries
imported wool here.

I just learned today that the reason wheat prices have stalled is because
Russia is importing wheat for less than what
America producers were being paid. Wheat went down again today,
or that's what I was told.
