| I'm as free market guy as you can get, but I don't understand why so many think eliminating all subsidies would be a great thing. We didn't get here overnight. It would be the 80's 2.0. Prices would adjust alright. but probably not the ones you think. Tell your landlord you can only afford to pay 55% of what you were paying when your contract is up. See how that goes for you. small towns and schools would die. Your coop equity would probably vanish. And the guys advocating for this, thinking they will be the last guy standing, will be lucky (or unlucky) enough to be renting it from an investor for little or no margin. I want to see profitability for all segments of agriculture. We should all be working together for that, instead of corn belt against the fringe. Or livestock against the crop guys. No one should want a rapid elimination of ag support, and a repeat of the 80's. | |
