as much as i love the food stamp provision, if it risks the passing of the greater farm bill as it currently stands im gonna be pissed

2018-07-14 00:00:34 UTC  

this farm bill is the best in decades

2018-07-14 00:03:02 UTC  

We need to work on ending the welfare state

2018-07-14 00:03:19 UTC  

It'll significantly reduce non-white fertility.

2018-07-14 00:03:25 UTC  

Important.

2018-07-14 00:08:04 UTC

2018-07-14 00:13:17 UTC  

yeah but this farm bill is too important to fuck with and risk a bipartisan stalemate

2018-07-14 00:13:49 UTC  

we are at risk of losing the farming base in the trade war, and this bill is constructed to help ease their pain

2018-07-14 00:14:03 UTC  

timing and tact count

2018-07-14 00:14:16 UTC  

especially if we are trying to maintain coalitions

2018-07-14 00:14:44 UTC  

t. part time 4th gen farmer

2018-07-14 00:16:15 UTC  

the local USDA offices are currently on hold until this bill passes, that means no new loans, approvals of insurance, etc, and as yall know its a seasonal endeavor and every week lost cost big
plus hemp is in this bill and many of us have been waiting a long time to get our hands on that cash crop, also it will increase native manufacturing using hemp creating more longlasting jobs

2018-07-14 00:24:21 UTC  

Just drop hemp and shit from the farm bill and focus on the SNAP modifications

2018-07-14 00:24:31 UTC  

no

2018-07-14 00:24:34 UTC  

hemp is huge

2018-07-14 00:24:44 UTC  

As a compromise with the Democrats yes

2018-07-14 00:24:47 UTC  

many red state farmers have been pushing for this for decades

2018-07-14 00:24:54 UTC  

u have no idea what ur talking about

2018-07-14 00:25:14 UTC  

its net profit per acre is 2-10x's that of corn or soy

2018-07-14 00:25:20 UTC  

with little to no input

2018-07-14 00:25:30 UTC  

and massive demand in the national market

2018-07-14 00:25:57 UTC  

I'd still prefer getting SNAP reform faster than hemp.

2018-07-14 00:26:08 UTC  

then risk losing the farmers?

2018-07-14 00:26:33 UTC  

im guessing we will disagree regardless just for fun, but my guess is u are grossly ignorant on the situation

2018-07-14 00:26:41 UTC  

hemp was put in the bill by republican

2018-07-14 00:26:46 UTC  

I know that.

2018-07-14 00:27:06 UTC  

But like you said, it needs to be passed faster.

2018-07-14 00:27:08 UTC  

this has been a huge goal of farmers for almost a decade

2018-07-14 00:27:14 UTC  

Then pass it

2018-07-14 00:27:17 UTC  

Lol

2018-07-14 00:27:20 UTC  

hemp isn t holding it up

2018-07-14 00:27:26 UTC  

but this foodstamps provision will

2018-07-14 00:27:31 UTC

2018-07-14 00:27:41 UTC  

hemp is already in

2018-07-14 00:27:52 UTC  

>still whining

2018-07-14 00:27:58 UTC  

^

2018-07-14 00:28:11 UTC  

Why do we need bipartisanship

2018-07-14 00:28:23 UTC  

to pass laws

2018-07-14 00:28:41 UTC  

and if u fuck over the farmers out of their living, they wont be very happy to vote for u this fall
