I want to address the point that somehow the new farm policy is to buy and sell to manipulate the price of the commodity sugar in the market. I think that is a very dangerous precedent to set. We should not be manipulating prices in the sugar market or candy or grain or beef or oil for that matter. Price controls do not work.
