farm subsidies- Change the rules
Farm subsidies are for only a few crops the largest of which for corn. Did you ever wonder why there is so much corn being grown especially near large population centers-- because of subsidies.
The simple solution is to give the subsidies for growing crops that are directly useable for by people in nearby towns and cities, why should all my produce be trucked in from 1000 miles away? would this slow urban sprawl? preserve small family businesses (farms)? And offer healtier crops instead of corn sweeteners (used largly is soft drinks).
Does anybody know if this kind of effort is underway?On Farm subsidies, or, I told you so posted 4 years, 8 months ago 2 Responses
