“Yes, to be able to allow farmers to decide themselves what they want to plant rather than somebody that is planning for this out of the centralized bureaucracy in Washington telling my dad and my brother what they can plow on their farmland in Linn County near Parker, KS. They sit out there now and they go, ``Now who is telling me that I have got to plant this many acres of corn and this many acres of wheat,'' and they are saying, ``Well, OK, I will go along because that is what the system is.'' But you have got to question, is that really the way it should be decided? Should the marketplace not send those signals and then individually decide in that system? And they would much rather do that.”
