Probably would be as bad as a Minnesota winter or a Texas summer without the products I provide.

I manufacture components for petrochemical, chemical, and power plants.

<<Hey, all us farmers can stop growing food anytime now. That would be simple. And we wouldn't have to take any more rude comments and disrespect. No more farmers. No more meat. No more fruit. No more vegetables. Whatcha think? >>

The reason for farm payments is because in some years farm products are our main exports. I'm against farm payments and have skipped them but last year I got $9k in the mail. No layouts, just sign and cash the check. Even I couldn't pass that up.
