Government control of farms, nothing new here folks. Government has played a large part in farming what I can remember, way back in the 60's, called the soil bank, in which government paid farmers to leave the lands fallow. The programs have changed, but the benefit are still played by the American farmer. The author of the article, fails to mention, the financial backing received by todays farmer from government run programs. Sometime, all the facts are not brought to the table.
