      This is corporate welfare. The vast majority of this money goes to agribusiness, not small family farmers.
      Not that it matters. Small farmers should and will go by the wayside, just like blacksmiths.

        Your statement shows a lack of understanding in markets and food. There is a small, but growing demand for artisinal food products (and this includes organic produce from small family farms). As long as this demand exists, small family farms should and will exist.
        “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

          Read my post again and this time without the eye for sensational catch phrases... radical and greedy were not the only words that I put
          Sorry that I didn't bother to read the rest...
