This guys is doing the rounds in Australia.
ive cut and pasted one of his comments which im sure will rile so of you guys and me as well
On the issue of subsidies, Mr Tracy said hand-outs to US farmers were not as generous as popular Australian opinion had it.
“We have had no direct export assistance for some years now.
“Canada has more subsidies than us, and other nations, such as Japan, India, Brazil and Russia are all off the scale in comparison.
“The major assistance US wheat farmers get is a subsidy with their crop insurance.”
