QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“I’ve been an advocate for one, overall amount of money that one farmer can get, and that one farmer ought to have dirt under his fingernails in order to qualify for payments. I got nothing against big farmers getting bigger. I just don’t think we ought to subsidize big farmers to get bigger.”
— Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), at a July 23rd Senate Agriculture hearing.
