[QUOTE="hayray, post: 636976, member: 3046"] Hey nobody has to sell to those speculators at that price if they don't want to. The speculation that brings us the high prices is also responsible for bringing us low prices, like cheap gas right now. All the subsidies do is to create a artificial advantage from one group while stealing money from others. I have for years seen land that was unavailable for me to lease because many who too lazy to farm it or poor business operators got paid not to farm it - 092 corn program hurt a lot of us back in the 90s. Also then I lost ground more recently to large "dady rich" crop operators who were cashing in on the goverment subsidized ethanol industry. It is a wonder anyone can be a agricultural entrepenuer in todays economy with all the subsidies that established crop operators are getting. I would prefer to no subsidies and let me compete on a fair level. [/QUOTE]
