It's not one bit about a fella with a tractor or pitch fork, or a mansion in town.
Its all about cheap food.
The city slickers want cheap food, and that is what they get with the govt farm bill.
Farmers are just along for the ride. They have no input nor help from all this.
It is to manipulate cheap food.
Look at my pie chart again. Its all about cheap food, not about farmers.
Every country does so. Europe it bound up so tight Mose can't export food to them, they subsidise the crap out of their farming.
Japan pours the money to their beef and fruit farmers.
China does things differently, they need to control labor more than food supply, so they subsidise the 5-10 acre labor intensive farms more then the bigger efficient farms.
South America has a couple dummies running their countries, they are trying to tax their farms to death, previously it was the one income stream those countries had to pull wealth into their countries but they are shooting themselves in the foot for now.
Africa is the place that just hasn't ever gotten it, and their ag - well total lack of ag - shows in spades.
Its global, agriculture is a tool to be manipulated.
All in all I prefer what we have here in North America by a long ways; but their sure would be room for improvement.
Anyhow, it is not about assising any farmers, not at all. Get that out of your head! ;)

I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
