I can understand where you're coming from, but I have a real difficulty with creating false barriers to support agriculture, because eventually what happens with government support of any farming operation is that this money becomes capitalized into the operation and at some point they become less efficient and don't adapt as well to the changing world climate in agriculture.
I hesitate, as a farmer, to ask the government to protect me from my competition. I believe I can compete as long as I have regulations that allow me to do that. I embrace that. I don't want the government to protect me from the world marketplace; I will do that myself.
