[QUOTE="sackshowcattle, post: 302899, member: 4065"] I think that what the big fight should be is what happens if there is another war and trade is shut down. All the new laws and regulations combined with increasing land prices from people wanting to tear up the prime crop and range land for a house in the berbs what will you eat. All the new laws and higher prices are doing is making us dependent on other countries. I don't want to have to let the government know every time I take a calf to the vet or a show, or when I go on a trail ride. Because that is what will happen with the farm registration. As far as the pig thing goes. I know a couple of producers and they have to let the sows out a few times a day and let them exercise or the muscles go into atrophy and have to be put down. that is only during farrowing other than that they are out in lots. One of the producers has a 20,000 sow unit in Nebraska and that is what happens everyday with every pig. But lets get to the point. The first step to all of this needs to be education. Bring back the ag programs and make the whole country understand what it takes to raise and animal, How much work goes into their food and were it comes from. Not The grocery store. Teach them that wheat makes bread, What livestock produces what cuts of meat and where there milk comes from. Let them see how much ground it takes to raise the vegetables they eat. Let them taste the difference between what is shipped from other countries to what is grown hear. Maybe then we won't get the same price for commodities now as we did in the 60's when tractors were a couple grand and land was a couple hundred dollars an acre. [/QUOTE]
