Be very careful when receiving blood from a farmer. I believe there are three possible solutions. If China wants to send cheap toys, tools, and other items., they take U.S. farm products for payments and they cost no less than the cost of production. It s time to tell the Arabs they are not going to dictate oil prices to us. We need to invest in ethanol plants and send the energy money to American farmers to sustain family farms rather than sending it to the Middle East so they can use it to nuke us.
Research shows promise of using biomass such as cornstalks to produce ethanol.
Let s invest our oil money in America. The third possible solution to sustain family farms belongs to Harry Truman. Fifty years ago, President Truman proposed ag policy to save our family-based agriculture. Put simply, Truman wanted to confine the agriculture support system to the family-sized unit. This would promote a modern and productive farm economy and healthy rural communities as well.
