Reply #62: Well, when my family & I were still farming... [View All]

we didn't get any of those big subsidies & we qualified for food stamps. But that was at the beginning of the regressive campaign against family farms. We went bankrupt, like so many of our neighbors.

Today, I'm glad that I am no longer farming. It is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and the pay sucks. it is the only business where you buy everything that you need to do business at retail prices & sell your produce at wholesale but not at a price you set; at a price the large agribusiness multinationals set.

WE always said that when all the family farms were gone, people would find out how much food REALLY costs. Have any of you noticed the price of food going up & the quality going down. Thank the regressives for it.

Yuck, I hate thinking about all of that.....
