[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1565368, member: 24565"] It is part of the cheap food policy and also a way to get an equal share of fed funds into rural areas. Without farm programs, most fed dollars would go only to rural areas. If you can find an ag/legislative historian there were planned efforts to make early conservation programs into financial payments to do just that. Too bad for H. H. Bennett and his real desire to help. On the other hand, housing construction and all that tags along with new development( furniture, fixtures, roads, sewer, water, shopping, schools, ...) drive the economy to a large part. So nothing can be done to intentionally slow or hurt that part of the overall economy. So it is a balancing act that government has taken on to be a no-win in a lot of cases. Pandora's box is open.
