Farmers get what?

Interesting data from the Environmental Working Group. Want to know how much farmers in your area get, just look them up. About $20 Billion per year. All this so we have stable food prices according to many Midwest congressmen. Gee, $13/bushel wheat (normally around $3), $5/gallon milk (normally around 2.50), sugar that is 3 times the world average per pound, and corn that is hovering around $4/ bushel (normally around $2) does not sound like the congressmen are getting what they bargained for. Check it out, it will shock you.

I am sure this falls under the category "It sounded so good at the time....." As with most congressmen, they fail to understand 2nd and 3rd order consequences of their actions.
