Without the farm bill you would be spending 6 bucks for a loaf of bread and 10/gallon for milk. As a farmer, it doesn’t make any difference to me. It would definitely increase my income if they did away with subsidies since I don’t eat many bread products, and I don’t drink milk. I would love to start getting 10/bushel for my wheat instead of 5.

I'm OK with that. Not everything in life is perfect and wonderful. I want to pay real prices for real things. That's the only way the world will ever make sense.

Thank you. When the average person is asked where their food comes from the answer is from the supermarket. :)

We appreciate all that you farmers do.

I'd be OK without the farm bill as I would pay .50 cents for a loaf of bread instead of .25 cents as I bake my own. 😇
