I cannot believe that this course will lose politicians as many votes as some of them seem to fear. Most farmers want to stand on their own feet. They are prepared to take their chances in the free market. They have a more intimate knowledge than most of us of the consequences of unlimited government power, and so, it would seem, a greater interest than most in returning agriculture to freedom and economic sanity.
This assertion is both a yes & no answer to it. There are those who desire to stand on their own two feet; however, there are a good number of people who want all the gains in their endeavor but are outspoken when times are tough and they failed to get enough insurance.
