The Pros And Cons Of Congressional Farming

151 Words1 Page

It is of concern to me that Congressmen that own farmland are not mandated to publicly state who they are. These secret subsidies means that most Congressional farmers are profiting instead of independent farmers. This is money that could circulate in that independent farmer’s community that go to a white collar businessman. So why did the House and the Senate mutually agree to not list the Congressman with shares in the farming industry? Is it because the amount of Congressional farmers supersedes the amount of independent farmers? Or could it be that they do not want to deal with the public fallout if there is a huge disproportion of farmers? If taxpaying dollars are being used to support this industry, then citizens deserve the right to

This is exactly how it gave America uniqueness and a new destiny. I also read from the text that expansionism had a few downfalls to it.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Open Range Ranching

    584 Words  | 3 Pages

    Open-range ranching is where the cattle were branded and able to roam around freely and eat as much as they wanted. When the ranchers decided that they were healthy enough the cattle would be killed or sold for food, clothing, or other materials in order to make money for the rancher (Carnes and Garraty 388). It all began when the cattleman found out that Texas stock would not die throughout the winter and there was a great amount of food and land for the animals to live off of (Carnes and Garraty 388). To make this possible they needed a source of water nearby and by having that available gave the cattleman more control over their land. As a result, the stock was able to grow more abundantly over time.

The controversies that have arisen in the last few decades regarding the FSA center on the way the assistance has been distributed and the fact that Americans now import much of their foodstuffs. According to the FSA, their agency provides services to farm operations including loans, commodity price supports, conservation payments, and disaster assistance.
