The Mustard Field
This corn field has not been planted this year. The yellow flowers of the wild mustard plant fill the rows where grain should be growing. The latest piece of legislation designed to phase out subsidies for some farmers is causing quite a commotion on Capitol Hill.
According to the Wall Street Journal
The legislation would limit the ability of farmers to manipulate current law to collect multiple payments, and cap payments to wealthy individuals not directly involved in farming. It would also phase out a special category of payments that provide income support, capping those payments for farmers with adjusted gross incomes of $950,000.

A sad story a great picture. The plight of farmers is widespread, affecting Australia too. As wendy says… if we don’t look after them – the future is not so bright!!
