If the farm bill is not done before the end of the year then it will revert to a 1940s bill. That bill supported milk at parity price. I think that is about $40 a hundred weight. So the milk guys should be praying they DON"T pass a bill.
The farm payments are not the issue holding the farm bill up. It is the food stamp program exploding in size.
Wife came home from the store the other day madder than H. She had followed this woman in the check out line. The woman paid for a whole cart full of junk food,pop,deli prepared food, etc. with a SNAP card(food stamps). My wife happened to be parked close to where the woman's vehicle was. It was a 2013 Cadillac Escalade with thirty day tags on it. My wife asked her about the car. The woman was all proud that they had just bought it for $65,000.
So they could buy a $65,000 car but my tax dollars where paying for their junk food. The hear the politicians talk the poor down trodden are just scraping by and we all should feel sorry for those on food stamps. That is BS.
I say cut out the farm payments. We have record high grain prices. The cattle guys never get any payment so what makes the dairy guys so special??? The 800-1200 head dairies I haul feed to sure seem to have plenty of money to buy fancy new equipment.
Then cut out all food stamps and free school lunches. When I was in school the poor kids worked in the school to pay for their meal. Some in the kitchen and some helped clean the school. Never hurt them one bit. Every hear of packing their lunch from home??? I never had a school lunch at school. My mother said it cost too much and we carried a brown paper bag with lunch in it. Drank a white milk for a nickle. Then you folded the bag up and took it back home. I usually could get a week or two out of the same bag.
Then the real poor should have coupons for certain kinds of food. Like a sack of potatoes. A pound of hamburger. Etc. Not this card that they can buy anything with. Also stop Connivance stores form being able to accept Snap cards. They just have junk food at high prices.
I have ZERO problem helping those that really need help. I just don't think we have 47 million people needing help to buy their food.
The bill boards that say we have starving kids and such here in the US are BS too. The last time I checked the biggest health issue was how too many of us are OBESE not starved.
We all need to quit looking to the government to help us do anything. The government never does anything very well and whatever it does always cost more than if we had done it ourselves.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
