  • We really have serious problems with our governments involvement of our farming industry. Now they have temporary storage of grain."Temporary" why the hell temporary? We have surpluses and people starving! Corporate lobbyist are destroying the American Farmers! Chipping animals leads to advanced cancer, shortened life spans. The last head of the Ag dept. warned of coming famine because of reduced storage of grains.GMO's are not good for human or animal consumption.I sadly say we are in a sad state of affairs when politicians think they know more about farming them our farmers. God help us all!
