Congress postpones agriculture cuts

I'm generally not a fan of agricultural subsidies, but in this case, I have to agree with the NFU - whacking them off right now would be a major error, as grain farmers cannot ship product on the Mississippi. It'd be the final nail in the coffin of American grain agriculture, and mercifully, somebody in Congress has at least enough brainpower to see it.

The National Farmers Union is pleased by Congressional leaders' decision to postpone budget reconciliation until the end of September.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
