I'm not Sandhusker- but heres my two bits worth.

Charlie- It'd be great, but won't happen....Agriculture no longer has the political clout to take on big business- and big business wants cheap raw material that they can make bigger profits on....And government wants cheap food to keep the voting consumers happy--Thats the reason Big Business is getting the government to open the border to all the imports...We don't need Australian, Mexican, or Canadian beef to feed our citizens- we don't need central American sugar- if the demand is there US Ag could produce it...But it might cost more- cheaper to just write up another trade agreement and import it........

I'm seeing the same as you this year- Lot of neighbors trying to get by selling $2.00 wheat- some getting as little as $.80 after the trucking was taken out---  doesn't even pay for the combining fuel....

And these groups like Farm Bureau and NCBA that have gave Big Business free run, seldom challenging them, have led us to the point that makes a statement of Al Gores look to come true when he told some FFA kids a few years ago " You don't want to go into farming or ranching-no future as soon everything we need will be produced cheaper in other countries".......
