Have you read the book THE LAST FARMER by Howard Kohn. A real eye opener. A must read for those who had ancestors who farmed.

What happened to the idea that, in a democracy with a free market system, each consumer could make his choices based on self interest?

I still fail to understand why farmers should be protected from competition. How are they different than any other small business?

I guess farmers are in some kind of protected class that is to important to be allowed to loose their jobs.
