The leaders in both parties on the House and Senate Agriculture committees have agreed to a one-year extension of the 2008 farm bill that expired in October, a move that could head off a possible doubling of milk prices next month. But House leaders have yet to say whether they will allow a vote on it.

You’re right. Nothing in my post justifies ag subsidies... because I wasn’t trying to justify ag subsidies.

So I guess I accomplished my goal..

What I was doing was correcting the notions that a) smaller farms are the ones on the grift, and b) that they’d go out of business if subsidies were reduced or eliminated.

The big farms are the the ones pulling down the big grift, and I won’t shed a tear to see them go under.
