| Message | we won't lose farming the big farmers don't need subsidies anyway and i'm sure the small ones will find a way to survive without them and it will make the competition more fair |

| Message | How is it fair competition if you have giant corporate farms competing with minnows. In football you have divisions, in farming you have subsidies. |

| Message | On the other site, I can support the idea of CS. If we continue to subside the farmer who can't farm, why don't we support the salesman who can't sale? In time of crises, the IPE believes that we have to support our farmers, but they must be able to make enough profit to survive. We will vote in favour. |
