This is a pretty dire picture being painted here. It seems Americans have been getting off cheap with low food prices, but that’s about to change.

None of us want to see family farms go out of business, they simply cannot survive on subsistence earnings any longer. If you have a space to grow your own food, I suggest you start learning how to make it very productive and learn to can the excess.

"Any time a country neglects its family farm base and allows it to become financially bankrupt, the entire economy of that country will soon collapse. It may take generations to rebuild the farm economy and that of the country."

Concerned citizens can call the White House, 202-456-1111, or your members of Congress, 202-224-3121, to urge them to support policies that enable farmers to earn a fair market price
