Finally got me to jump. I agree with John South America is here and I'm afraid so are low commodity prices. The problem with that is that farming is not practical IF you expect to support your family. Ask yourself--How many farmers are completely supporting their family on their farm income? Your not John--you have an off-farm job and so does your wife. Most of the farmers in my area are the same and the rest of them farm full time with their wives working to feed them and keep the farm going. So how do we fix that? Lower inputs and expenses? Um that's what we've been doing and it can only go so far then sale prices have to go up! How do we do that? Here's suggestion number 1. Change the tax code. Gains and losses from farming operations may only be used offset gains and losses of farming operations and farms must file completely seperate tax forms. Do that and watch how many corporations get out of the farming business. Suggestion number 2. Equal input costs world wide. All these conferences to open world markets and reduce import duties and farm subsidies should also focus on input costs. John Deere and Monsanto(?) should not be allowed to sell their products at a lower cost to farmers in other countries. New subject-- Kerry. His wife, Terrie i think, was a second wife and I really do believe she isn't in any controlling position in Heinz.
