There's not even any votes there. I get they have cash but still it's puzzling, the extent of the pandering. This is billions against the economy when all is considered. What are they (Repubs) getting for it? Some cash, that's it, unless the story is not yet told. Electoral votes I guess but can they even deliver that?

EC, HR and Senate votes. Midwest farmer support for Trump sagged with his trade war, specifically China slapping retaliatory tariffs on soybeans. Doubling down on ethanol subsidies is throwing a bone to midwest farmers. I have family or inlaws in 4 midwest corn states. Ethanol is big politics, a litmus test of whether you're pro-farmer or anti-farmer. Originally Posted by iceman

Well they probably appreciate a bone considering soybeans have been destroyed and corn and wheat will follow. Good for those folks.
edit: I guess not corn, eh? There's a market for it.

Have the house and/or senate voted on this? Or just the Cheetoh allowing year round sales thing?
My kansas guys roberts and moran are apparently no votes, have read stuff trying to get people to call them to change their votes.

I blame the Aztecs for all this. They invented this shit and sold it to the fucking Indians, now this shit is all over the place.

You leave office, you go to work as a lobbyist or you get a bullshit title for a sham advocacy group to collect this kind of graft. Originally Posted by iceman

All those useless corn fields should be hemp farms. Corns useless nutritionally, shitty as feed, filler in beer, and we grow way too much. Govt been propping that up for a long time, hello corn syrup? Let em grow hemp and be profitable farmers on their own.

Virtually all the produce on our table the past 5 months is polyculture, from our garden or a friend's garden.

Nice. Same with us. Originally Posted by GeezerSteve

Do you know of any examples? I’m fairly well versed and have never heard it done on the commercial scale... small scale direct market yes but not at the contract level.
Unless you consider strip farming poly culture... at that point what size strip defines it?
