Well done!! Very timely, too, as our government continues to encroach on our freedoms - especially in the area of agriculture. If we don't' have the right to farm for ourselves and raise our own food, or even eat what we want - we no longer have the freedoms granted to us by God.

Great job and information Hannah ! Let the truth come out how Government stifles private enterprise - at best.

More people need to be aware of what is going on, and has gone on in our country over the years. Waste is waste regardless.

Good job Hannah. . it's still going on. . the Federal Government is still doing it by paying farmers to turn their farm land back into grass land and NOT even grazing it.

I enjoyed the video and overview of this misguided federal agricultural policy. Maybe it would have been useful to discuss in more detail the rationale for the federal government trying to keep prices up. Administration economists, following Hoover, thought the problem was falling prices and wages, and that the U.S. would emerge from the recession if prices and wages could be kept stable (they thought these higher prices would increase incomes). -- Greg Rehmke
