I said people...that means someone who works, like constuction, lifetime welfare trash ain't people.

I was thinking that Farmers are subsidized to plant crops not to grow them or harvest them. That is how it was described to me by a farmer when I asked why his neighbor always plants cabbage and lets it rot in the field until he turns it into the soil.

which only pads the middleman's pocket and leaves the farmer hung out to dry as always.

Spot on! Farmer always gets screwed.

May sound crazy. It's probably time to revert away from corporate farms and the smaller farms should break loose from sales contracts and start thinking of smaller sales bubble within a community, county, state or region at most. Co-op, and barter works well for very small farms.
Getting out of the mess (bug and financial) requires thinking small. What was going on is insignificant to the well being of a people or economy.
How much de we need to pay for phones, tv's, fuel, electricity, internet access, etc. The important things are a roof and high quality food.
