EDITORIAL: Bad Harvest
Congress is prepared to pass a bill that would drive up food prices for consumers, harm the environment, worsen the global food crisis, upset trade agreements and cost taxpayers a ton of money.
It’s a five-year farm bill costing upwards of $280 billion.
The bill now in a House-Senate conference committee either needs to be drastically reduced or scrapped. If passed, it deserves a veto.
