>That was a sad story about the Borland's family farm and other farms. It's also a testament of the mediocrity in Washington to let a portion of the farm industry go bankrupt while money is wasted on pork projects.

Going into a Peak Oil era, this country needs to preserve all farm areas.

It's too bad that the Borland farm was totally in the cattle business and not diversified. But I know nothing about the economics of farming and my statement may be without foundation.
