Ya know, I don't think they will ever get it, agriculture needs to be sustained here in the good ole U.S., I know things change but what happens when you put the farmer out of business, the land goes up for sale and when that happens around here, developers want it, you know because we need housing for all the middle easterners moving in like around here, heck they have enough housing already, get financed under some real nice terms to attend the best colleges to boot and some darned developer wants to give em more, and upgrade them to high end condos in our ag land. The land is available, cause it just don't pay to farm or it's time for retirement. It's bad enough that age catches up with all of us and people have to retire out of it, no one wants to get into it or take over cause it don't pay. We lose all this manufacturing overseas as well, enough already. In some respects I think the U.S. should be an exclusive club, maybe like NZ or similar where it is hard to get in, and they need to figure out what we can do to sustain a reasonable amount of agriculture to keep our hand in it, the guy upstairs is not making any more land! We lose prime ag land near urban areas, it just creates more areas to be populated, there is not an easy solution to this overall problem by any means, but why wait until it is too late or the brink of disaster which is so often the case in today's society. Don't mean to complain, the long term outlook just does not appear so good, and I sincerely hope I'm completely wrong, one of the things I've always admired about the U.S. is the American farmer, they put up with a lot and never get a fair shake.
