I agree on the Wal Mart effect to an extent but one thing you guys over look is the Farm Program. This program was never designed to help the small, mom and pop farmer who was once considered the back bone of the nation. But, it was designed for the big to get bigger. Receiving the largest or very near the largest subsidy is Ted Turner, ya that one former Owner of CNN, etc. etc. No more one section farms but many section farms and then and now 10's of thousands of acres. With the owner setting in New York. This ran the families off and killed the downtowns as no people needed to shop, go to school or. Instead of a bunch of farmers with the small Fords and IH's, we have one man running a giant Deere, Massey et-al. Around here we have a bunch of 1000 acre + plus farms which is big for this part of the world and one guy does it all.

Want a comparison look at the Euro farm subsidy program designed for the family farmer which results in nice villages, small prosprous farmers, less polution from run off and on and on. Who to blame, well the politions, the guys that buy and own them and the nuts like us who continue to elect them based on the on air pundits who suck up to them while they all pick our pockets.

Want to read more about the subsidy program go to Washingtonpost.com today, they did a three month investigation of where the money goes and who gets it. Buy the way, our leased poltitions are voting on the new subsidy bill today. Guess who it will help. Enough Rant but feel better now.
