OT I believe you misunderstand my position. I think you are replying to my quoted text not to my post. (replying to what I quoted from a post I disagreed with). I specifically stated that in Europe and Japan subsidies where even higher. If I had my choice I would eliminate them everywhere. I never said that anyone had a monopoly on farming. Tim

That works out to about $1 per gallon, and it is probably the worst case for subsidies. The price of wheat is only around 5% of the cost of a loaf of bread. Pete, The situation of the small American farmer is very sad.....they are struggling financially.....that's why so many are selling out to corporate farmers. I wonder what the results of that will be. ted
