Crisis In Agriculture; Farm Rally In Ames

Represents about 20 percent of the workforce in America. The lady speaking now is a farm extension specialist who specializes in farm stress and organizes programs and seminars for farmers about dealing with the stress of farming and especially in the current environment Her name is Joan. In the past few years we've witnessed in America individuals families and communities have been forced to questioning if there is a future for them if their very existence manors. While statistics have been traveling and there's been there's talk about the number of farms that will be lost. What is seldom discussed is the loss of the people. We have not addressed the suffering of the people because it's too difficult for us to find a excuse. Would

I want those of us trying to silence those of you. Your voices have told

me because he was gone. Say 30 year old tear up who wrote of her father's suicide and allowed her words to be shared with clergy. People have helped all of us on our side. The 45 year old farmer who publicly getting children three others to share their family's home bring

us. Yes but you've shown me that I respond to it.

Please speak continue to speak beyond what is the numbers for the hope. Thank you Joan Blondell BOM extension specialist from Iowa State University in me. He's a breast specialist express a word that practically was unknown and not associated with the pastoral scenes of farming. That's right a couple of years ago it was a new word in agriculture but we recognize that whenever you have a tremendous debt and you must live it with it day by day but you can't sell that crop for another six to nine months. It is a stress that is with you constantly. And I think Also while there are many people who live in the city that have had two generations in the same business there are many who are still mobile today that they really don't have the Allegiance even to the field or to the company. And so it's hard for them to understand the allegiance that a farmer has. If you've been on the same land for 10 years or

possibly for two generations and there is a real stress when you see losing that kind of heritage. Dean cluck Nero chatters up here now he's president of the Iowa Farm Bureau which you can see in its name tag there but he's not speaking in that role today he's speaking as a farmer from ride to Iowa. Young beginning farmers as well as the older established farmers and the farmers who are suffering. And there are many many of those made a decision in the last five or 10 years decision that was correct at the time they made it to make a sizable capital investment perhaps in land or buildings or machinery and often this decision was made to bring up someone son or son in law into the operation. Let me emphasize that today's farmers are good farmers where good managers the so-called poor managers have been gone for several years. Ask

for. EK But but high interest rates low farm income. And reduced crop production due to weather condition in the early 80s have created a crisis situation for many in agriculture high debt and high interest bring high trouble. Some farmers some farmers are not in trouble today possibly because they were outbid for land by another farmer. Just one more time after they stop. If we don't solve the current foreign crisis both in the short term. And long term. Those of our difficulty in all also will be in serious trouble. Couey. We need to have compassion for those that have already lost their farms. I can relate to this experience because both of my grandfathers lost their farms in the thirties when they were past 50 years of age. But farmers

aren't the only ones impacted as we've heard already. The way the farm problems is really hitting rural communities and whole states if sufficient action isn't forthcoming. A tidal wave could hit as storms gathering force is completely unleashed. The challenge facing us and the nation today play gentleman is twofold. First we need quick assistance to help a number of farmers this spring and this assistance got to come almost immediately. We've got no more than 30 day the ox. Asks the farm debt restructuring program through continued pressure from many farmers here today has been improved so that it can provide some assistance to a number of farmers. But we've got to monitor the program to make sure. That application for example for farmers debt restructuring and guaranteed loans are quickly and responsibly

processed. We need an answer within two weeks on our loan applications. The Iraq surge. But we need additional help for the farmers for these farmers and I'm speaking about as well as other problems other farmers were having some cash flow problems but still are fairly solvent. That's why we think the administration should initiate the advance production price or loan program within the next week or two. We simply need to get money in the hands of farmers to spring a lower interest rate. I appreciate the efforts of the ILO correctional delegation our governor others in support of this issue but I don't think Congress is going to move fast enough. That's why the administration needs to start this program now through administrative action. Ask for these programs that are speaking of are important

and valuable but we aren't going to save any farmers. Through debt restructuring. A divergence of opinion on how to resolve. There is general agreement among all groups here I believe that the main problem facing our culture today is not a lack of credit it's a lack of farm income folks. Therefore And I'll speak to it just very briefly. Our challenge our second challenge deals with a long term program to improve. NET farm income Argan zation will be supporting a program to bring down the high interest rates through federal spending freeze and that will include military and security folks. We've got to increase farm income through. A farm program is market responsive and we should maintain a safety net through target prices and when necessary.

But that's long term. First we must get through the next 30 to 45 days through the debt restructuring program and hopefully through that advance price support program when to close now. Farmers are basically optimists. You have to be an optimist a farmer you've got to plant seed in the spring and the weather in the summer and harvest it in the fall. But while we are down. Give us a ray of hope. Some assistance in an opportunity and we'll deliver. Farmers or good managers and we'll be better in the future. We're hard workers but we need a boost. Some short term assistance so we can recover from this period of high interest credit. I must emphasize is not the long term answer. The answer is an environment framework. That permits agriculture to be productive and profitable that gives us a chance to make a contribution to our state and the nation to economic growth and to provide food for a hungry world.

Luke. Now look at that shot. The farmers here are beginning to give near a farmer from Wright Iowa who also happens to be president the I Will Farm Bureau Federation some of them are giving him a standing ovation much in contrast to the booing that went on of Dean collector when he was first introduced a few minutes ago. A very impassioned speech by Dean here. It seemed a very appropriate speech for this audience. And once again I think that Dean collector is speaking here and what he said about a title way. What he's looking at is the forecast that if we have the continued high dollar Now this is it. And if nothing is done then the facts indicate that in the broad Midwest we will have 25 percent of the farmers not farming two years from now. And if that happens this means a great deal not only to individual workers that are supplying agriculture but to the communities themselves. For example Fort Dodge now is looking at closing some of the elementary schools which means teachers out of work mainly because we've seen

lower employment in for Doug. And the question that has to be raised then is if we eliminate repeal is Jefferson enough if we have Washington I would do we need Aynesworth what do that's what we're really looking at how do you mean by that chapter you say that we can sacrifice Jefferson if we have Ackley or whatever you know that is the question that I think is foremost now we're looking at farmers receiving loan. Write downs in the next 30 days but if if farmers actually go out of business in that size this is going to make enough difference in our rural communities that we're really going to see the churches the schools and all of those local businesses seriously affected. So what we mentioned before is the ripple effect are predicted could be a tidal wave a better analogy. Yes. He also said we're good farmers. He said the bad ones the careless farmers the people who did not keep good records and good financial planners they're gone already deeply. That's true. I believe the facts will bear that out as well as simply

what you hear and that is that they part time farmers have actually increased by 17 percent in recent years. The large farmers have increased over 2000 acres have increased by about 1 percent. The decline is in roughly the 5 to 600 acre category. And what we're seeing is the farmer that again we've mentioned that decided to have to enlarge its operations so the son or son in law or daughter could come in with him or decided that there was land that hadn't been available for 20 years that he would buy in maybe in many cases 80 acres. And this is the man that is in trouble. And so we've seen the farmer who is a very good producer maybe a pretty good marketer but made a mistake on his land investment. So this is why there is a feeling that if that land is taken over by someone else in ownership then he returns as the farmer he may very well be the best farmer in the county. But he made a mistake either in judgment or in timing on land investment. So we need to separate and say this is not a poor farmer who is going out. It was simply that land investment phase that was the problem for most. We hear mentioned many

times. Why did they buy all that expensive equipment. How do you answer that. There are two things one it was economic and again this is hard to believe but with the tax laws as they are or were particularly when we're looking back it was to his advantage to upgrade his equipment. Now I think there is a second thing that some in town overlook and they feel that the farmer the image they have is that he should be out there in the broiling sun in June cultivating all day and when he's in the field he's often there for 12 or 14 hours. And yet when you have factory workers who have all kinds of safety protection they can't bus driver can't go more than eight hours and that sort of thing. The farmer if he is to be efficient and safe must have a cab with some cooling for example. Now maybe he doesn't have to have a stereo but then that's not that's not really what's the answer and I don't know. So the point is that he must have the equipment that is safe. And also he has the need to have reasonable what he wanted so that is a tire put that way.

Also we have replaced labor with capital for most years because they hired man as he was called to get a better job in town and if the managed to handle more acres then he must have the equipment and now some are overpowered. Let's admit some are overpowered but in most cases that is really not the problem in most cases the problem is untimely land investment. I'm told set that up a dame standing by and incidentally we should tell our viewers that you're watching the farm crisis rally live coming to you on Iowa Public Television. The rally is at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. Chet Randolph and I are are at the Iowa Public Television Studios in Des Moines watching along with you and trying to add some perspective as we go along with us right now is Larry Green up at Hilton Coliseum. Larry is the Midwest bureau chief of The Los Angeles Times. And we're told Larry that this is a media event your media correspondent for The Los Angeles Times feeding this information back into a major metropolitan city. How are you interpreting

this for the people back there who don't even know what a Midwest farm looks like. Oh I think they do know what a Midwest farm looks like. First of all the roots of urban America are out here and we know from our agricultural coverage at the L.A. Times that tens of thousands of people in Southern California have roots back to the Midwest so they have a day they have a perception of what the farm is but they don't have a perception of what the crisis is right now. And rallies like this are going to help drive that home along with. The intense coverage. On crisis of getting the major media. And broadcast media across the country. It is a story that has been growing in proportion since late November. One of the things that we like to keep track of is how widespread is the problem. We understand that your great growers have a lot of trouble because of the cheap wines from Europe. We understand that irrigation even is a pretty easy area as a problem and that for the first time California agriculture is feeling this how do you understand.

I understand that also my specialty is midwest agriculture but I know that in Northern California there are traditional crops like wheat and cotton that are under stress. I know that farm values are falling on those crop lands fairly rapidly now. Could I interrupt you there. Well we've been hearing that in the sunbelt land values have not gone down as rapidly but you're telling us that in the agricultural area that land values have dropped so precipitously so they can borrow against it. It depends on the it depends on the region of California and the crop. Certainly the garden vegetables. Garden vegetables there are crops that are especially crops and those lands are holding up in value at vineyards or down I understand because there was a an abundant supply of grapes there. Increased imports are raising prices are down they also come from the vineyards. We understand such exotic says the Kiwi and maybe they are contraries and so on which were quite a tax advantage are now in trouble.

You're outside my area of expertise Larry just one more thing I want to ask you and then we've got to go back to the electorate here. This is a media event. We know that media people go where the news is it happens to be in Ames Iowa today where you are but and the reason that this is being held is to put additional pressure on the. That's great. The winner gets additional concessions for form. But when you go elsewhere you and your colleagues. Isn't this all going to disappear and the pressure is gone and the ministration goes on his happy way. I don't think this story is going to disappear quite as quickly as administration would like to think it is going to disappear. But there's a crisis even if it gets resolved even if we get a Band-Aid this spring there's going to be a crisis next spring because there's a structural change taking place in rural America. And it's not going to go away it's probably going to haunt administer this administration for the rest of the time it's in Washington and perhaps the next administration. Thank you very much been talking with Larry Green Midwest bureau chief for The Los Angeles Times. Let's go back to the

lectern. Thank you Larry. Go back to the lectern. And there is Bishop of The Des Moines archdiocese and he has been very active on the human side of the farm crisis to hear that the dream yet lives. But it will not be easy for us to do this. We have grown careless in protecting our freedoms and have despite the warnings of our founders relaxed our vigilance. It is never easy to wrestle power from entrenched forces. How do we begin. This rally is one important way for we must work and struggle for justice together. Another way is to walk for a while in the presence of our ancestors to remember how they saw the world and the nature of the dream they

had for their children our selves their dreams our legacy can help guide us to the action necessary for our time. Ten years ago in moving employed language the Catholic bishops. Spoke to all who would listen about the dangers facing their people of the land. They recall for us the warnings of the prophets against idolatry the worship of place the Creator. They all declared that in today's America. We worship a false god the economy. The rules of the marketplace. The rules of the marketplace are sacred. They apparently have to us from on high

winds are losers under their application is to is declared to be beyond our control. Let me propose this stop. We have rightly criticized communist forms of government because they see the state as ultimate. Beyond which there is no appeal in their way of thinking. There is no room for God. Are the laws of the Creator. We on the other hand enshrine the free market and regard to its rules as beyond interference to meddle with it in any way is to jeopardize its operation for for all to many of us. There is no room for the law of the creator in our economy. Us.

Why get all that we do by which we behave as individuals as well as the manner in which the government functions in our name is at heart a question. It is we who have divorced the creation from the Creator and in doing we have removed major areas of our lives from the moral code as revealed by God in the covenant. What else is this the declaration that in certain aspects of life God's laws do not have jurisdiction. What is this idolatry. If we remove God from the major areas of our existence such as the economy what rules effectively then replace the covenant

the prophets have told us time and time again. Your ways mankind are not God's ways. Your justice is not the justice the creators see. Listen to Isaiah. You buy more houses and fields and add to the head. There will be no place for anyone else to live. And you alone will live in the land. Yet it is a sad sack that many of our business and government leaders for years have been pursuing a policy towards agriculture which has had eliminating farmers from the land. Listen to me. This policy called the

maximization of profits is what is truly sacred in this country. Not human beings not families not communities. I do not think most of us understand how fundamental is this problem. What we are faced with today is the culmination of years of false values and selfish attitudes. How wrong is public policy. Understanding the purpose of democratic government. Us. Carol is it the purpose of government to stand idly by while its people suffer. Or is it the duty of government acting on behalf

of the common good to act to serve its people. Carol has the dream of America been reduced to encouraging each citizen to amass as much wealth as possible. Whatever the cost to fellow citizens are to our good or are do we still have a vision which sees us living at peace and in community with each other on the land. Us. I'm Hugh. It is precisely because we have not passed such basic questions for a long time that we are in such trouble today. We have thought proceeded to despoil our resources displace our people from the land

and tarnished the luster of a just and free society. For all our heritage as Christians and as Americans does not leave us without hope. However as Christians we believe that Christ has already pointed the way and won the victory. It is our task to struggle to implement the kingdom of. Which he has announced as Americans to have a rich history of citizens appealing to their government. We are gathered here today under one of the liberties guaranteed to us by our Bill of Rights that we have the right to assemble peacefully. Mine have this dual heritage and intent upon the rights that we have the permit

to share the lessons of our ancestors for it is their living legacy. It is their dream that we must resurrect as our vision today except. For the Native Americans all the rest of us came to this country from the Old World. Have we forgotten this. Have we forgotten. The nature of those societies. Our ancestors left. They fled societies which were undemocratic not simply in their political structure but also in their economic structure. Us. While most of our ancestors worked for someone else they had little hope of ever owning their own land without such a basic economic foundation. Most lack the opportunity to ever become

financially independent of others control free to make meaningful decisions about their education employment or place of residence. The drain of America long before Thomas Jefferson penned the immortal words of the Declaration of Independence had to do with a land which would have room for the rest of us. A place where the justice and liberty for all would take preceded self-enrichment of the few. Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson and a form of democracy which would allow the majority to rule because each person would have a stake in a right to speak about their government. But Jefferson was far too wise a man to lead such a dream without a firm foundation. Jefferson a

free society could no longer serve were founded upon a truly independent citizenry. Citizens could not be free of the coercive influence. There's unless the ownership the economic resources land it was the most basic and fundamental was widely dispersed. It was upon this vision of economic independence that Jefferson built his democracy. Like his namesake Abraham Lincoln was a father to his people. And like Jefferson before him. He attempted to prevent the lands of the West from being gobbled up by just a few land speculators in the Homestead Act to Lincoln's vision became law

create. Each person was deliberately kept low in order to encourage as many families as possible to settle on the land. That policy has served us well over the hundred and twenty years. But this dream. Today's America seems to have forgotten not only Jefferson's and Lincoln's dream but the basis upon which it was founded. Today's America. Seems to be in love with success as measured by dollars and power. And material acquisitions. Jefferson valued family and community life as a republic. We value the creed of individual ism and fat bank accounts.

Jefferson the interests of the Commonwealth. We pursue self-interest. Jefferson wished for a society where economic equality abounded. We are creating a society where in a few almost everything lengthen wanted families upon the land. Through public policy and our tax laws are turning the countryside into another version of industrial America. Where there is no room for our family. Our community are the larger interests of the Commonwealth. There is an older story which we have in common to that of our ancestors in faith. A noted. Protestant theologian Walter Brueggemann has written eloquently that the Bible is a science the story of a papal in

search of a land they could call their own. We are familiar with that story of how Moses came to his people and led them out of slavery in Egypt to the promised land the land which was a gift from God. But they soon forgot the desperation of their search. The loneliness of a life apart from a land of their own. The plight of the outcast and the poor. Once their land they turned two ways greed. Their leaders built lavish palaces their wealth they developed estates did develop a state so far from their less fortunate brothers and sisters and constant place far ways in which they could become even wealthier at the expense of their own people. Seeing how quickly they forgot. God sent properties to them to call them back to the way

intended for his people. The shepherd a mouse for one spoke to the leadership of Israel. You sacrifice holocausts to me and think you are just you in the name of the Lord God. Even as you measure out injustice to the poor. And the alien among you. But I tell you that it is not holocaust that God wants but justice for us. I'm. We are deeply concerned and we say to our leaders we need emergency credit assistance so that our people may plant their spring crops but we also need your understanding. We do not deserve your dismissal.

We are your brothers and sisters who produce the food you eat who care for the only land you will ever have. Yes we need Congress to pass legislation. We need a just 1985 farm bill. We need to relieve the farm credit crisis and solve. We ask that our government see our predicament and give us the help that we need. Mm hmm. Peck the answer to our problems is not just more foreign exports although we support a strong presence of American farmers in a vigorous and just system of international trade. The answer is not supply and demand.

Nor is it a free market. That will see sealed the fate of family farmers. Neither is it an economic shakedown that will eliminate thousands of family farmers. Nor does the answer lie in laissez faire economic disinterest. As I conclude these remarks I would say that there is a need for more farmers not fewer family farm Carol. The Iraq at the time has come for family farmers to overcome their individual ism and exert efforts to receive fair prices for their products. The

Iraq I am delighted that we have a growing coalition of farm organizations they can bring a package to our government and then we the people the farmers will back these farm organizations and then we will succeed. The Iraq I know. Raised the cross which in the words of St. Paul stands as a sign of contradiction. How hundreds of these crosses have already been planted in the fertile soil of the heartland of America to mark the loss of family farms today. Just an

hour or two ago two hundred and fifty of these crosses were planted in laffy a laffy at a bar just across the street from the White House. Yes. Carrying. Two hundred and fifty were planted because that is the number of farms that are going bankrupt each day. It is up to you to decide. These crosses

mark the burial place of our American dream. Our is in this Lenten season the symbol of victory of a dream reborn an ever present reminder that the dream of Abraham and Moses and Jefferson and Lincoln yet lives on in our hearts. Carol. I'm with you stand with me now. Let us promise each other in our solidarity that the dream that we have will yet live let us promise each other as fellow citizens that we will act together so that the dream will continue to live for our children's children

unto the tenth generation. As men and women of the land as inheritors of the dream let us keep faith with our God. And with each other. I solemnly charge you with this task and binds you to gather until its completion. Pay. Very emotional moment. For. All of. YOUR MONEY. That's a. Big moment. Of the morning. The former head of the National. Catholic world Life Conference just finished his remarks very much unifying figure in what is billed as a unity rally talking about the 250 crosses planted by Senator Tom Harkin another group at Lafayette Park across from the White House this morning.

Let's go back to Ames and hear what is coming now from the lectern. And I'd like to introduce to you the Williams who is the president of the nation's Electric Cooperative Association from Colorado and also learn what you stand for. And also coming you just moments later was Ted Anderson who was a master of the National Guard while these introductions are being made we have Dean of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation standing by for an interview from Hilton Coliseum. And he should be with us in just a second there he is loading clock near How you doing this morning. You. Have got to get. Him to. Talk as a farmer not as a president the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. You were first booed and that changed into a standing ovation at the end. Among some of the farmers there in what I termed here a very impassioned speech.

Now what do you see as being the value of this rally. What is going to be the effect of all this today is it rhetoric that will die away. Well I hope not. I think this is just one more indication that farmers are in trouble there is a crisis it isn't just in a small area it is across this state and across the Midwest and I think it's actually increasing its reading across the nation. I think they were telling Congress I'm telling the president that things are not well are getting worse and we need their best and we're joining the field. We're only planning corn and in a month hard and our efforts will lessen at that time and we need some action and we need some help and we need the right things coming from government. The things that they can do to me they can do things they can do. They need to get cracking on get it done. Dean Chet Randolph is with. Thank you. We've had. Fathers who had a dream of farming and they lost their farm in years past. Why is this year I crisis. Well we've had an asset value that resembles a depression and in my opinion I commented in my pocket book my

grandfather's lost their farm in the 30s in the Depression they were both past 50 years of age when that happens. So our family knows that type of situation I think I can relate to him more than some people here today and it surprises some people. Yes it is a low price and it is high interest but I've seen lower prices and higher interest in the last five years on a day but I haven't seen is the fact that you know the land decline has gone down 60 percent from the High time and that has taken all and a lot of good primers right out of agriculture. Some lenders are too. Am I correct in thinking that the administration right now is David Stockman even Secretary. BLOCK representing of course the president has no use at agriculture right now and what you say is the crisis in agriculture is would you say thumbing his nose or the administration thumbing its nose. No I don't think I don't think there's anybody in Washington today that doesn't know older situation. And they may not know to a degree.

They almost have to be here and be suffering to recognize that I'm not so sure that even all our faults and some of the towns in Iowa a degree of the pain and the suffering but they know because they've been told I think I think regrettably too many farmers think that because they're not bringing a lot of money out here that they don't know and don't care. The real problem is the budget and it's going to be the problem. It's awfully easy not to talk about doing all these things but. You've got to get the money from somewhere. We think they need to reorder their priorities and certainly help push more work out of some other areas that agriculture needs help now. I told David Stockman three weeks ago Mr. top when you give it to us now some of this and we're asking for more you're going to do a lot more a few years from now you're going to be forced to then to save and culture and say those small towns just very quickly and we want to go back to the lectern. Why wasn't the Farm Bureau participating as a sponsored event. Well we're we're supporting it. I don't understand all this either Bob Dylan who was asked earlier to come in to help plan it he couldn't come because he was testifying in front of Congress. They said he didn't want anybody

to know on that point on farmer wasn't involved. I wish they'd have asked me to come in and help plan yes. I offered a week ago to be on the panel. They didn't accept my offer then Fridays ago last Friday they said we want you to be on the panel and I accepted immediately. Thank you very much. Who spoke today as a livestock producer from Rudd Iowa. He also happens to be president the I Will Farm Bureau Federation. Thank you very much Dean collector Let's go back to the lectern now and there the president of the National Rural Electric Cooperatives from Washington D.C. Vernon Williams is introducing the next speaker and she will be Benson who's a former vice president of whiteness and an acronym for women in farm economics. And she says turning Colorado this man talking is Brittany Williams. He's president of the National Rural Electric Cooperative in Washington D.C. making the introduction I guess not and exhilarate any other organization but an independent entity with local community chapters organized in 22 states.

It is policy oriented. Political non arson and founded on the belief that prosperity and agriculture is the key ingredient and the economic stability of the United States. Will you join me. My friends and welcoming. Naomi Benson from Colorado. Thank you. I'm speaking today not just to the people in agriculture. But I want to speak primarily to the people. Gathered to everyone in the United States and in the world. And America. I am the farm.

Employee. We're partners. Partners in land ownership and work responsibilities. In response to be the person speaking for the thousands of farm and ranch men and women gathered at this rally are. There presence here is proof. That they're truly gripping our country side. We want to understand our problems. And our deep concerns for not only. America but for the entire country. In a crisis. There are.

Products. That come to. Our country and our government and foreign countries. Let farmers products manufactured by the. Farmers are manufactured and farm and ranch. They are

professionals. Gone are the days. No more. Production. Forty thousand people employed farm machinery trucks cars. And building materials. American air culture is the world's largest commercial industry. The combined agriculture industry accounts for a hundred dollars or 20 percent of the National Product.

Agriculture employs more than 1 million people in exports and most of the farm industry exports overall more than 20 million or 20 percent of America rely on agriculture. For employment. Farm program that allows for a profit in agriculture keep workers employed just import quotas on cars plants each farmer much as each farmer people employ. For every farmer effect happening to agriculture the

JCS. Such fact everyone. And. You must realize. That when seven years ago at that time.

Two hundred dollars or a hundred. Years now. Forces beyond our control of the church. Farmers are losing money. Thirty two point two farms the production of our economy. Your tax I judge your taxes will be raised to correct for the shortfall.

And Prop 8 states that they're farming and ranching there. This includes Illinois Indiana and Iowa. Farms will pay taxes help support schools parks help balance the budget cannot be prevented from earning taxes and make a profit and have a price for. Getting cut. Subset of about whether or not

government should. Always been and. Always will be our government always right. For the government and the Foreign Relations these calls for cheap. The government for years to attract funds. That in turn foreign export markets and brought. Imports. For their. Markets.

Currently we produce imports from Canada since the 1970s the United States government agricultural products to foreign countries between 1979 through the heart of the markets. While others including through diplomatic circles in the past on farmers and ranchers. Farmers and ranchers I JUT.

Such a card such as market or free market. Now there can be market government intervention and foreign. Affairs. The jitters there can be no market oriented until they are under control. There are further problems because of different monetary standards between countries and different scales. Some countries and will always set their prices. Price American producers cannot fairly compete with foreign countries. All their farmers and ranchers. I'm itching. American producers are selling their

one complete portion of the US economy such as agriculture. Sell its products at a loss. Purchase a service.
