epirb: I doubt you would ever be able to understand just what farmers went through from '85 to 1990 . A time when farmers were expected to produce for nothing while their business were controlled by the banks . Many farmers killed themselves during that time . I personally knew one and knew of others . MAKE NO MISTAKE ON THIS MATTER , I NAIL MY COULRS TO THE WALL . I support those who produce the food to feed the likes of you . We , and I know I am not alone on this matter , won't be producing food any more to feed the thankless who want it for nothing .
I remember, as a small kid, watching what my father went through in the early 70's. He almost lost his butcher shop due to Nixon's price controls.
The suppliers, such as yourself, got greedy and were selling cattle loaded with fat.

(((laughin))) HUGE difference between old school legitimate cattlemen and wholesale feed lots...
& if beef didn't have some fat it would be worthless...

We get penalised if our cattle are two fat , pity as its hard to find good 5kg of rump or topside with fat that's not trimmed , wasting the fat closest to the skin where the best taste is .

Trumps current implosion has left his lovers tremulous and bitter.
Trump may ( he probably doesnt know himself) place large import tariffs as a protectionist measure ( he constantly whines about how we are being ripped off in foreign trade). It will create jobs here as well as serious inflation and poor quality.
In the long run it will help Monsanto, and myriad other international corporations more than anything.

Really ? I was almost at the point of having to buy another farking Christmas ham today because he's on the point of balance of dumping the Paris Agreement on Climate Change . Delayed to tomorrow by the looks . Getting sick of eating celebratory ham on account of Trumpy , at least I know the pig would not have been halal killed by some Islamic barstool with his bum facing Mecca like most other meat killed here .
woodstock1: Nixon controlled rents for awhile..........Now, it is about time that stupid Trump started controlling food prices..............Instead of a proposal that would cut food stamps by 29%.......Talk about a half-wit for a "president"........
Food stamps? I thought they were only in use in war time? Old war worlds.

Food price controls did work in the past but now with a global economy that is not possible, not even your God Trump can do it.
Commodities/food prices are determined by the supply and the demand. If there is an overproduction of wheat (just a simplistic example) its price will go down but if there is shortage of that food/commodity its price will go up.
The best effort for a country beyond nationalism/patriotism is to develop local economies the most possible.

The best effort for a country -to depend the least posible (if possible) from a global economy- beyond nationalism/patriotism is to develop local economies the most possible.

But the production does not because of government support . That wheat is the flooded onto other markets destroying local farmers . Remember the Cancun trade round ? that simplistic example was used to explain just why government support for producers is destructive . Your own wheat producers were used as an example . I doubt a Mexican farmer 60 plus in age shafted by debt would leave for the US but his sons would . Yet those causing the problem north of you don't see the results as connected to government support for US wheat producers .
