I was talking to my wife about this last night. We are going back to the farm to help her dad harvest beans and corn tonight.
It's too bad that farm subsidies have tainted a noble profession and actually hurt small farmers and small towns.

I don't have first hand experience with farming in America so it will be interesting to watch. Especially since the story indicates that at least some farmers don't really care for them. Should be interesting.

Subsidies also hurt people in developing countries all around the world. Tons of people starving to death...
