Can you read? I think the subject was tobacco????

Did the government come into your business year after year and tell you that you could not stock the same amount as last year?

That is what baccer is talking about having his poundage reduced over the years.

As I am sure you will agree, most farmers would love to truly have an "arm's length" contract with consumers of his goods.

But it is the consumers that brow beat the politians into subsidizing the price of the goods they buy.

That's interesting, my cousin, "Moot" Truluck was hand picked by Bush to get the farmers to go for the buyout, and I come from a long line of tobacco growing family so I too wonder what you are talking about.

I thought Bush chose "Dash Riprock?"

[baccer]

i am surely for the buyout aslong as they go back to the years before they cut us to pieces!
