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.

Excellent, we can finally end the programs.

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

I'm unhappy because the ethanol mandates, milk programs and sugar quotas are still inflating the price of food.

If the ethanol mandates were removed, you and the farmers would start whining again.

Government interference makes food more expensive, not less expensive. I'm sorry you don't realize that. I'm sorry that you can't admit that.

Over 50 years experience of the Cheap Food for Consumers Program refute your position.

Current food prices reflect what they would have been for the last 50 years without the programs.

Get used to them, farmers are no longer obligated to present you with cheap food.
