[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 140503, member: 2095"] Part of me objects to any and all subsidies; but then part of me is worried that if they kick the legs out of the crop programs we are going to have a really difficult time finding the $2 a bushel corn we are finishing our cattle on. To me these programs ensure that every grocery store has cheap chickens, ground beef, cereal, bread, pork chops, cheese, cookies, etc. Our Church collects food for the poor. I got a list of stuff to get like flour, corn meal, treat, Spam, crackers, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, rice, pancake mix, potted meat, etc and I filled up my brown paper sack to the top for only $15.50 ($1.40 of that was sales tax). We know Wal-Mart and the food processing companies are going to keep their margins so any increase on cost is going to go to the consumer. Rome gave away bread to keep the public happy. We use programs to keep the food plentiful and artificially cheap so any person on fixed income or a minimum wage job can eat. I am not sure that we really want to rock the boat on this. NOW CRP is a bunch of garbage that has cost us jobs, inflated the price of land, and turned good land into scrubby crap. That program and the program paying people to plant pine trees can both be done away with in their entirety as far as I am concerned!!! [/QUOTE]
