Hundreds of farmers gathered in Brookland to speak with representatives of Arkansas leaders to share with them their urgent plight: the difficulties they face in farming today.
“In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check,” said Brown. “I don’t know a farmer that likes the check program. Nobody wants to take the taxpayer dollars, but nobody wants to go broke, nobody wants to lose everything. Long term, we have to have options, markets, and places to sell our product.”
I’ll start assembling the first shred of sympathy if Scott Brown can spend an extra moment to also think about the working poor, disabled, homeless and nearly homeless people in cities who don’t like the check program either just like him.
