Congress should all leave Washington, that way they cannot spend money they do not have. The farm bill is a joke. It should be called a food stamp bill because that is where most all of the money goes. We all need to learn to farm without the government.
Need to rename it so it describes what it really is............a food bill. The name and the money associated with it makes it seems like a farm handout to the general public. About 80 % of the cost is food stamps and other food programs so lets change the name and let the public know what we are really paying for.
