Greetings from a country which dismantled the entirety of its farming-
subsidy structure back in the 1980s.
 
Every time we meet to discuss free-trade agreements with you people,
your negotiators cower in fear at the power of our farming sector.

It does puzzle me why most of the lamb in the markets comes from New
Zealand. There's a flock of sheep down the road but the owner might get
upset if I shot one and dragged it home.

I will have to agree that family farmers have been forced out since Earl
Butz's 'get big or get out' plan in the '70s. Much of the land is
controlled by subsidized agribusinesses and worked by illegal aliens.

Butz' guiding light was cheap food. Hungry people tend to get pissed off
and break out the pitchforks and torches. Butz was doing good until he
observed all black people want is loose shies, tight pussy, and a warm
place to shit.
