southern MN | > Cow/calf has never had the fall-back govt subsidies, insurance, prevent-plant, etc that corn and beans etc have had. Cow/calf has been one of the last examples of a free market in US agriculture. Let's hope it stays a relatively government-free market.
My only quibble with your comments is that the over supply of corn and beans that the govt subsidies insures we have results in a low cost and abundant feed for finishing the beef.
Livestock is sharing in the govt grain subsidies, not apart from them.
But a small thing, I understand and agree with the bulk of your message.
