Get the government out of the way and quit providing wild incentives for industrial agriculture. What Iowa has an abundance of is 1) land and 2) smart people. Level the playing field (or at least quit building berms and digging trenches) and resourceful people will stay.

Harkin, I farm in Iowa, and I have never received more than a $30,000 a year in farm payments. I hope you will seek limits that make sense for our state. I can't imagine why anyone would need more than what I get. Sen. Harkin, I farm in Iowa, and I have never received more than a $30,000 a year in farm payments.
