"Seeds of discontent"
Seeds of discontent
U.S. farmers are worried that a new global agreement that would govern the way they raise and sell crops would include too many compromises with other countries, benefiting overseas competitors. http://www.washtimes.com/business/20...2459-3515r.htm |

LOL. They're some of the most protected and subsdised farmers around (with the europeans).

Currency exchange rates, drought, wars, safety inspections, and probably a bunch of other things influence U.S. farm profits. As you probably know, GM crops have come under a lot of scrutiny from the EU. I've read of concerns regarding the United Nations and environmental regulations. The concern is the U.S. would cede too much authority to outsiders regarding U.S. land use, for example.
