If you were elected President

[jehler]

All prisons would be essentially cool hand Luke, prisoners would make prisons self sufficient through farming

Return Huntsville to its former glory days.

[DC727]

I'd right and pass my own bill making basketball America's official pastime

Wanting to gay this country up

[Tomkat]

Really?

So would they sell the surplus crops to give the profit to the treasury?

And isn't it true that crop prices are artifically subsidised with my tax dollars?

no, and screw you and Goldie for wanting to put soldiers to work under the guise of "army corp of engineers" govt doing anything except defending and handling delegating the funds gained from tariffs is communism, under my watch the govt WILL NOT compete not regulate with the fair market

[jehler]

I'd as soon pay a soldier to drink beer and take a nap as take a job from a common man, that soldier will warn his pay should we need to kick some ass

[jehler]

And to hell with you guys that say we will not be a world police, when I'm president every other president in the world will ask my permission to fart or suffer the wrath of our mite

[jehler]

what about guys like me, who have contributed and are now back in school?

[(MT)Montanafowler]

also:
develop new regulations for farming, which don't hold small farms to the same standards as corporate farms. end funding for the corporate farms, if you can't survive on your own, you sink like the rest of the business world. encourage state regulation of farming and distribution, outside of interstate commerce which still falls under federal authority.

so you want all small family farms gobbled up by the large "corporate farms". the small family farms are the ones that cant compete and are disappearing!
i would like your definition of a corporate farm.seeing as almost all family farms are INCs and LLCs and the like.
and what do you feel the states should regulate?

quite the contrary, I think that small farms are held to a standard that they can't survive in, hence why they are going under and being bought out. How are you supposed to grow crops when Monsanto can sue you for everything you're worth because of seed (genetic) drift? The farmer doesn't see more than 8 percent of the profit, most of it goes into the market. I consider farms in excess of 10,000 acres corporate. Places like that are diverse enough that they should be able to stand on their own, without subsidies. Farming practices need to change if we're ever going to have sustainable farming, we need to foster the ag industry by supporting and buying from the smaller farmers who are working toward sustainable farming practices and integrated agroecology. States should regulate whatever the federal system currently regulates, Like jehler said, the federal government is for protection and interstate commerce, we probably can't get back to just those, but the closer the better.

This is quite possibly the most backassward thing I've ever read on this site.

I've got news for you. The govt isn't keeping the 10,000 acre farmer in business. Those guys are sharks. They would love nothing more than the govt to stay the fuck out of their way and stop subsidizing everything. If they did that, the little farms would be gone faster than a blink of an eye.

The big are going to get bigger and the small are going to be acquired and or pushed out. Agriculture is no different than any other industry when it comes to economics.
