I believe national security starts with the food supply.

All the arguments people use against foreign oil are twice as important when it comes to our food. Just try and tell that to those who believe farmers should just go out of business and be done with it. There are so many of them on the farm bill threads. The farm bill wasn't that great and needs to be done away with some how but not by letting domestic farmers go away.

STOP DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN FOOD

I just read an article in California Farmer magazine that said that Spanish companies are farming olives in California. Can they make more of a profit farming here than in Spain? Are foreign companies buying a lot of farmland in California?
