I found it interesting that neither of the threads about farming in the seventies mentioned the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Agriculture_Movement">"American Agriculture" movement</a> of the late seventies. Maybe y'all liked how things were going back then, but there were at least a few farmers who were mad as heck about farm prices and wanted Big Government to step in and do something about it. They even went so far as to threaten to go on strike and not produce anything until they got their way! Of course, that would require most of the farmers in the country to agree on something, so it was doomed to failure. They did stage a few big protests that would put BLM to shame, and even drove a bunch of tractors up to DC.
I guess AAM is still around, after a fashion. Or at least they have a <a href="http://aaminc.org/">website</a>. But then so does everybody else.
