Question

What concerns do American farmers have at this time? How can they be addressed? ?

Answer 1

Same concerns as any business, how can we make profits?  One method to address this is subsidies, and this is already taking place.  Another is to increase exports through free trade agreements that reduce or eliminate tarriffs on food and food product exports.

Another concern is how to keep small farms in business.  Larger farms, called agribusinesses, dominate the agricultural market and often buy up surrounding smaller farms and incorporate them into their operations.  Many small farms are dealing with the fear of being bought out or out-competed.
