[QUOTE="bball, post: 1629811, member: 23752"] The sad reality is that our culture has been conditioned, for a few generations now, to believe everyone should eat for cheap. Our government leaders have promoted and implemented this because it's an effective means to pacify the masses. Full bellies do not rebel historically. Yet, the same culture has no problem dropping a grand on the latest iphone(even though there is nothing wrong with their current phone). Most Americans are so far removed from agriculture that they have little idea, nor concern about their food; so long as it's cheap. Operational costs in this country make it almost impossible to compete in the global market. America's blessings of prosperity post WW2, have now become her curse. A correction is coming and many in agriculture, especially those propped up by govt programs, are going to feel the pain. We keep asking how do you fix this? The primary question actually is "can this be fixed?" Or have we gone too far down the rabbit hole and there is no way back... [/QUOTE]
