I agree with the comment on World Government. Agriculture is one of our country's resources that can be renewed every year and our government wants to just give our products away. At one time oil and corn use to rate close to the same price. This morning I sold a bushel of corn for $1.99 with a market price of $2.58. Cargill needs $.59 for each bushel for shipping and such. Do not think the small farmer has any power in the control of anything. We grow it and sell the corn for less than it costs to raise it. That is why we have not been taken over, but just wait, it will happen. Like is often said on FR, Follow the Money. When there is easy money to be made, the little farmer will soon be gone. Examples would be the pigs or cattle crammed into one tiny area called factory farming.
