Food Freedom Day No Break For Farmers

[rkaiser]

Amen PC.... Politics has little more to do with reality in my mind every day.

The only thing we need to consider is that we live in a free country and we are free to create and do business. Thanks go to past politicians and maybe a large number of soldiers from our past.

Wars are now fought in the economic battlefield and those who learn how to move swiftly and cunningly will gain a lot more ground if they stay away from the politicians.

Or maybe simply sue them...

Well I respect your opinions it's your industry but I think that will take a very very long time to make much of an impact, and will require massive downsizing, there is only so much local market, as long as the foreign stuff comes in and comes in unbelievably with less restrictions etc.
Politics affects everything whether we want to ignore it or not I don't think we elect them to follow or at least that's not my thinking they need to lead by providing opportunity not let an entire industry go down the tubes, saying hey that's free market at work, because it ain't free when the guys raking us over get all the tax breaks, grants, and trade deals to suit them and not us, certainly don't need any that don't give a dam about the industry they represent.
In actuality the cattle business represents another piece of our total society here that is loosing out to other countries that we used to look at as the have nots, their governments have direction and vision and are wiping the floor with our politicians, just a another industry not going to be producing here, pretty soon we won't be considered able to produce anything here, and that is due to trade deals.
But Good Luck!!

Who said the governments even care about farmers....as long as there is lots of cheap food...the voting masses keep happy. So what if a few farmers go down...nobody but the farmers are starving/broke...
