| #9 Actually if you look into India's trouble with how their rains come, starvation can be a serious problem in their rural areas. At least their government is storing wheat to try and feed it's people if there's a drought. That's alot better than most african countries do. |

| #8 Actually, most of these "subsidies" go to the very large farm corporations and not the smaller farmers. |

| #7 I think without subsidies too many farmers stampede towards the current 'big money' crop and ruin the market for it while creating shortages in other areas simultaneously. |

| #6 farming subsidies have never bothered me.And by walking around looking at most ppl here in the US doesn't look like too many would survive off bark soup. |

| #5 What is with governments squandering vast sums of money subsidizing one of the richest segments of society, farmers. We all like to eat, and we like to know that our next meal is in the bag. Sure, farm subsidies are unfair and inefficient. So is starvation. |

| #4 As Joe just said, Russia has suffered about a 25% drop in wheat production this year from last. They're not planning on exporting any .... |
