Number five, they need market relief. When we can buy oats at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia cheaper than we can raise them in Millen, Georgia, we have a problem. Even with all the greatest of farm technology, we should be able to grow oats cheaper domestically than importing them. Because some of our international ag competition subsidizes their farmers heavily, it makes our farmers have a disadvantage in the marketplace. We do need to have market relief.
Market promotion is part of that.
I love the idea that my district's Vidalia onion can be eaten and bought all over the world because they are the best and most delicious onions that have ever been made. We all know that. The folks all over the globe ought to be eating them. We need to have a program that promotes them and lets our farmers develop markets overseas. Number six, regulatory relief.
