The government in the 30's began their involvement in the farm when they plowed up crops and slaughtered animals to control prices. It didn't start with Nixon and Carter. I understand about the mufflers but that is the same as with cars and trucks. What I am speaking of is the misguided efforts to control farm prices.

You say a better farm program. That is a relative term, what might mean better to you might be different with someone else and different again with the consumer.

No, it is not those who want the gov't out of every single facet of our lives that are the problem it is the ones who want them involved in everything that has lead to the present debacle.
