Jim: I too am against subsidy's. Sooooo---lets stop the subsidy's to big oil
and the big electric power company's as well.
 As mentioned, there are none of us left so they have really done there job
haven't they. Government statistics put someone who grows tomato's in window
boxes on high rises in NY on the census list as a farmer. We actually
believe there are only 200K farmers that derive there entire income from
agriculture left. Look around the world at country's that don't subsidise
there farmers and you will see the most efficient farming practice.
Subsistence farming! People in this country eat for less than 6% of there
disposable income, I believe, and we get less 20% of that. A box of
breakfast cereal costs  more for the box  than the company paid for what is
in it!!
