Re: 286 billion Farm Aid Bill for 2008
[ QUOTE ]
I'd be more favorably inclined if they could guarantee these subsidies only went to small farmers. Much of the subsidies are received by large agriculture conglomerates that definitely dont need the subsidies or by people "playing farmer" in order to receive the subsidies (surprise surprise).

Actually, they do need the subsidies. Without the subsidies they would not be profitable enough to compete with third world farmers.
