"...government favors and protects the small independent American farmer, an occupation that couldn't possibly exist without this protection." maybe, but... current ag grain policy creates an environment of cronic glut, which needs the export market to clear supplies, which in turn, puts usa farmers into the pricing arena of the third world. give less ag support to grain and there would be less excess production. market forces would determine a new supply demand curve. it is possible that internal usa grain prices would rise to a level where domestic supplies would be augmented by foreign imports in times of shortage and protected by ocean freight charges in times of surplus. this is a novel idea: free market pricing of scarce resources. it works for legal fees, used car sales, private homes. why not farm products?
