[SEL] Corn-gas a BUST!

[John Hall]

Yes Dave, we do get handouts. And the small farmers can barely make it worth 
the risk. Tiny farmers like me don't do it for the money.
  So should we cut out the handouts and let the most efficient (which would 
be the largest) survive?

My only answer would be to drop the subsidies and limit the maximum size of 
the farm.Raise the price of commodities so they can be affordably grown. And 
let everyone bellyache in the checkout line about how much the farmer gets 
paid when actually the bulk of your grocery dollar goes elsewhere.
