[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 231006, member: 2095"] I like cheap grain. It means that the cost of the grain in a loaf of bread or a bag of flour is an almost insignificant amount of money. We can grain fatten our calves, hogs, lambs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, catfish, tilapia, shrimp, etc. and sell the stuff so cheap that anybody with any kind of job can afford most of our products. Grain is so cheap that hogs and poultry spend their entire lives in confinement eating cheap milled grains. We have been using tax dollars to keep the stuff cheap for 70++ years. During that time the number of farmers and particularly the number of grain farmers has plummetted. They are not the powerful voting constituency that they once were. Big agribusiness corps like ADM and Cargill still wield influence; but is that enough to keep all the grain programs and price supports off the chopping block when the day comes that govt. descides to balance it's budget??? I don't know. [/QUOTE]
