  • Ha, I see you didn't reply to soylentgreenb...

    What kind of insensitivity to human suffering allows a person to call the 400% rise in the price of rice and similar jumps in the price of corn and soybeans "minutia"?

    I'd call it pathological.

    Are you trying to say that it makes sense to spend $2.2 billion dollars a year storing sugar? That's not credible. $2.2 billion could buy the entire USA's annual sugar production at current wholesale prices.

  • They passed the bill quickly and then sent the wrong bill to the president who then vetoed the bill. We need a lot more intelligence in Washington DC than what we currently have in place. There simply cannot be errors like the one they made to this farm bill.

  • I bear a profound lack of support for W but this time I agree.

  • it's indisputable. The increase in production and the amount of calories and protein that is now available worldwide due to american production since the modern farm bill over the last 30 some years is monumental. there is no other way to write it. all the research and development this has spurred and we're only on the cusp...midwest farm ground 50 yrs used to only produce 50-70 bu of corn/ac ... now ave's well over 120-140 bu/ac & even tops +200 bu/ac. Incredible.

  • hahahaha

  • only speaking to gyopo:

  • here you are bashing a stereotype and then in the next sentence starting/perpetuating another.

    what it seemed to me he said was that more than one negro (negroes) are being paid not to work (probably referring to a form of government welfare, but he didn't say if or which). this statement, whether you believe it or not, wouldn't be that difficult to prove true.

    i am stupid, but don't class all the other youtuber's with me, i prefer to be alone. thank you.

  • good one

  • That is the way it goes until something newer and more viable comes along.

  • A Farm Bill that doesn't help farmers is like the crime bill that doesn't do a darn thing against crime... this is just to BUY VOTES.
