We'll Reap What We Sow
Daniel Imhoff writes for The Los Angeles Times, "Over the last decade, the farm bill has allowed the US Department of Agriculture to shower tens of billions of dollars in subsidies on the nation's cotton and rice farmers (along with corn, soybean, wheat, sugar and milk producers). These subsidies flow whether growers need them or not. They flow even as they damage the environment and our nutritional well-being. They flow, all the while enabling the biggest farms to consolidate into mega-farms."
