[QUOTE="TB-Herefords, post: 636765, member: 7171"] Was curious how most everyone felt about them. Me another guy talkin. He thinks if not for the subsidies it would be a more competitive fair market. Not to mention commodities would be price quite higher. "Last year we managed ten dollar a bushel grain and people still managed." I don't personally remeber grain gettin that high but maybe I just wasn't payin close enough attention. We as americans spend the least amount of our income on food than any other country, if subsidies were droped than he thinks that would change. In a time like this though people are strugglin w/ makin a income littlelone spendin more of it on food. What I see as a catch 22 is if our commodities shot up the rate of inflation would go through the roof. That would we as producers see the same income; just higher figures? All and all I really don't know a lot about farm subsidies. So enlighten me. :wave: [/QUOTE]
