<span style="font-size: larger;">You would think that a &ldquo;Farm Bill&rdquo; would be primarily be about agriculture and farming. Too bad that isn&rsquo;t the case. </span><br />
<br />
<em><strong><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;">The farm bill currently before the U.S. House seeks to appropriate almost a trillion dollars for &ldquo;Farm&rdquo; program spending. Of that $1,000,000,000.00 Senator Stabenow, the Agriculture Committee Chair, had included $740 billion for food stamps which left only $200 billion for farm related activities.</span></span></strong></em><br />
<br />
