This was an error on my part. I didn't explain my part and apologize. I was upset at the cutting of the program. I don't really think farmers should be given a subsidy for this any more than they should be paid to 'not grow' crops. <to keep the price up>
The only subsidy I would accept would be for oil producing crops, and even then that is not entirely accurate. I would have the gov't buy the crops to convert to biodiesel <maybe we can take some of the money we are spending to keep the flow of oil in the mideast safe>.. <hey.. how about all of it>.. take this and actually start converting the oil. This would get it in people faces, etc. Once there is the market, more farmers would do it. More people with no farm but a little acreage could sublet land to make a few dollars, etc. If I understand it, jatroba grows in arid dry conditions.. this exposes land not normally farmable. I was upset at the cutting of renewable programs at the same time as saying we should get into renewables. I am losing faith in the man. I am not a fan of doubletalk. I think he honestly wants to do the right thing, but is being advised the opposite. --------- Message: 4 Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2003 11:45:52 -0500 From: "Steve Spence" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: bush = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why do they need a government handout? I don't ask the government to subsidize my projects. A few close friends, if I think there will be a payback, but never the government.
