They want to do the same thing with gas. As a farmer though I wouldn't mind higher prices at all.

I wouldn't mind higher wages either.

Truth is that if you are growing something like corn or wheat and not doing it big time then you aren't going to make much money because of the slim margin of profit combined with the cost of transportation.

You could do what the founders did and convert your product into a product with a higher profit margin that is easier to transport. :)

But would you want to work twice as hard for it?

You'd mind it if they caused higher prices Zimbabwe-style.
