OT You are not helping poor countries a lot by giving them free access to our food market -if even a small farmer here can't compete, how would a micro farmer of Bolivia compete? - It should be a lot wiser if we stop dumping our surplus production in those countries. This should largely prevent drama's like Eritrea, etc., because lokal trade should simply exist, while it is completely absent now. Some farmers from poor countries can compete. In some cases they cant because our markets are not open. Famine in Africa is not caused by US farmers driving the local farmers out of production. It is usually caused by either war, or by corupt opressive governments. Drought is also a factor but without the other too most countries could make it through a drought. Bullets, land mines and stupid and/or opressive government officals controling the food market are much greater disincentives then American compitition. Tim
