[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 901204, member: 13254"] A farmer in West Texas that owns and farms a section (640 acres) or less needs help in some fashion to make a living. I'm not saying the help has to come in the form of a check just because they farm though. With the regulations imposed in respect to what they have to do when raising a crop of cotton and then forcing them to compete with foreign countries in the market place puts American farmers at a huge disadvantage. Just the cost(highly inflated due to EPS regulations) of the herbicides they use lowers their income percentage drastically. Add that to a couple of years of drought and you have smallish family farms in bankruptcy. [/QUOTE]
