The Des Moines Register ran an artilce over the weekend by President Bob Stallman regarding the House version of the Farm Bill. President Stallman's article did an excellent job of explaining the House version of the bill, pointing out direct changes and how they will impact the budget. Stallman explains to readers, "The House legislation is fiscally responsible and is projected to cost $20 billion less than the last farm bill."

President Stallman relates to readers that farmers work a full year not knowing what their salary is going to be. He explains how the farm program helps even out the uncertainty, allowing farmers and ranchers to continue to provide Americans with a safe, affordable food supply. "And for about 3 percent of the total national budget, that's a pretty good deal for ALL Americans."
