The government in the 30's began their involvement in the farm when they plowed up crops and slaughtered animals to control prices. It didn't start with Nixon and Carter. I understand about the mufflers but that is the same as with cars and trucks. What I am speaking of is the misguided efforts to control farm prices. It has it's equivalent with tariffs on manufactured goods.
You say a better farm program. That is a relative term, what might mean better to you might be different with someone else and different again with the consumer. See, that is the big problem with gov't involvement they try to make one size fit all but that will never work. I was a hog farmer for 18 years but never saw a farm program designed to help me and was glad for it. Well, let me restate that. Eventually with the court approved checkoff program it did begin to hurt us small producers.
If farmers would ban together to force gov't to end farm programs the same as they do now to continue them the legislators would get the message. No, it is not those who want the gov't out of every single facet of our lives that are the problem it is the ones who want them involved in everything that has lead to the present debacle.

Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
