"Once You Develop A Farm, It Will Never Be A Farm Again"
It's Time to Support Small Farmers
The Government has focused subsidies and aid on large and corporate farms for far too long. Real farmers know how to take care of their farms, and yet we favor those who own all of the land and do none of the work.
When I'm elected, we'll put a bigger focus on first-generation farmers with subsidies into things that will actually help them. Maintenance grants, Ag scholarships, fertile land protection, and so much more that will help our farmers, and support cheaper food costs.
We will Protect our Rural Land.
Our State and Local government has been taken over by a group of people who would see the whole of our rural area developed into expensive, cheaply-made, hastily-built housing: Developers. They don't care about rural needs, only their profits.
If we want farms to succeed, we have to make sure there is land available to cultivate, and building a 600 home development on farmland doesn't help. As I once heard from a lone County Commissioner: "Once you develop a farm, it will never be a farm again."
