News flash. The government has “monkeyed around” with food prices for over 100 years. After WWI food subsidy prices. New Deal. Price supports. Paying to not farm areas. William Jennings Bryant in the end of the 1800’s silver to inflate money to help farm prices and bank lending. The Sub Treasury Plan. The list goes on.
Up till now, the monkeying around has dealt with price setting. Now, the EPA’s emphasis on dust control, feed lots, water quality, etc. is a whole new ballgame. The only purpose is to eliminate farms, and return the land to Mother Earth.
