On the recordJuly 14, 1998
Will the Senator agree that while the track that we are on may not be as a consequence of a specific plan simply on the part of the Government or anyone else, but that any sector of the economy that is expected to generate profits based on prices that were consistent with 1940, as we are in the grain and livestock sector today, and yet to pay the input costs that reflect 1998 costs will lead ultimately, as certainly as night follows day, to the demise of that enterprise, that family agriculture capitalized in a modest way as it is cannot possibly sustain itself with the combination of these tragically low prices and the extraordinary high input prices?
