Finally. A Big City Newspaper That Doesn't Blame Farmers
Caught this article on the Capitol Times website.

Farmers are well aware of the fact that they are price takers, not price makers. It'd be nice if the rest of the country was more aware of that. It would also be nice if we had a representative who made the rest of Wisconsin aware of it.
That's why we need a voice to go to Madison to get our farmers access to affordable medical coverage.
That's why we need to push harder for expanded renewable fuels production.
That's why we need school finance reform to lower the property tax burden.
Agriculture is the backbone of our economy, and when farmers make money, they spend it. They can't arbitrarily raise prices like the grocery stores. So to compete, we need to give them the tools they need.
