The Farm Bill is making it's way through Congress and the Senate this week, with a threatened presidential veto in the wings. The Democratic party, and a few from the Republican party back the bill that would, among other things, increase the amount of food stamps available to $10 billion, and continue to give farmers subsidies on their farm products, even though this is a bumper year for crops.

There is a lot of opposition to the idea of paying farmers (who could, if they were a husband and wife company, still receive money as long as they make an adjusted gross income of under $1.5 Million dollars) when things seem to be going so well.

Since I've worked at the Farm Services Agency, I have a bit of an insider's view on the subject. But I would like to hear from the readers, their take on the bill.

Question: Should the Farm Bill be passed, or should it be modified in some way? And if modified, how?
