They will end subsidies yet still tell the farmers how much they can charge for their products. The big boys ain’t gonna’ like this.

I went to high school with farmers’ children who are now wealthy. I also went to school with some who had to sell the family farm and move away. I knew a family with 5 children who lived very well farming 400 acres. That was without subsidies. In fact, I thought they were rich. None of the kids farm anymore. They’ve either sold the land or rented it out and found regular jobs.

Every time government interferes in a market, it screws things up. The more it tries to fix the problems it causes, the worse things get. People need to understand that government cannot create wealth. It can only destroy it.
