Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack thinks he knows why no farm bill passed during an election year. He says rural America has lost too much political clout. The former Iowa governor said rural interests should stop arguing with one another and present a more unified face to Congress. Agriculture Department figures show the population in 50 percent of rural counties has dropped in the last four years. Yet rural America is where most of the food and energy is produced. At a Farm Journal conference, Vilsack urged farmers to appeal more to urban consumers who eat what farmers produce.
Idiot above, the gov controls pricing of the farmers, therefore, the farm bill is needed. Take away the Gov controls, let the farmer has a choice in what crops to grow, who to sell it to, and at what price,
ps - lowest paying job in America, Farming, Average Age of a Farmer, 61 yrs.
946-Price controls don't work, if they did, you wouldn't have the "lowest paying job in America". Thus, get rid of the farm bill since it's part of the problem....idiot.
The farm bill is a waste of taxpayer money. It's part of the problem, nothing more.
