Big headed towards bigger government will keep everyone happy...farmers and food consumers alike. To hedge growth bets, check out the USDA expenditures at Mt Abram ski resort in Maine, broadband to rural areas (shouldn't the FCC be doing this?), safe drinking water for the residents of the Ozark Mountain area ( maybe the EPA has a very similar program?),preserving the sage grouse (perhaps the Department of Natural Resources is working on a like idea?), guaranteed mortgages for those in rural areas(thinking FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC do much the same). No, I don't think any farmers or SNAP folks will notice the slightest change despite any GOP proposals with regard to slowing government growth.
