Put some numbers with all that. I did.

Milk programs make my milk more expensive. Ethanol mandates make my corn more expensive. It also makes all the products fed by corn or including corn more expensive. Sugar tariffs and quotas make products that include sugar more expensive.

Which products are made cheaper by government programs?

Let me summarize. The farmers are now happy, because the prices they receive at market finally allow them to exit the farm programs, something they’ve wanted to do for decades.

You’re happy, because now the farmers are no longer in the farm programs.

With everyone happy, there’s no fuss.
