I've seen the movie and I'm curious. Exactly how is agriculture the only part of our economy that works? When net U.S. farm income is almost exactly equal to direct government payments to farmers under the Farm Bill in most years, I'm pretty sure that farmers blathering about socialism may be the pot calling the kettle black. American agriculture "works" as long as gas is artificially cheap, the government continues to subsidize farmers regardless of what they grow, and we continue to be more willing to pay for health care than for nutrition. I might point out that all of the things in the previous sentence are funded by you and me, the taxpayers.
I'm also amused that the so-called "farm groups" are all of a sudden worried about "assaults on agriculture." Where have they been for the last 70 years as every farmer farming today lost 4 of his neighbors doing the same thing, or wasn't that an "assault?" Finally, I've heard this same knee-jerk reaction to the movie as a pack of Communist lies, put forth by Marxist fellow travelers intent on ruining the American way of life, whatever that is, before. What I haven't heard is: what specifically is incorrect about the movie, and what are examples and evidence that refute those incorrect statements?
I'd say have a good day, but I suspect you don't have many of them.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
