| Message | Mr. Speaker, We must vote against this because it is inherently anti-free market. Urging farmers to become a part of larger collectives essentially incentivizes such practices as price setting, collusion, and decentivizes innovation and competition. This would in essence cause there to be less available food stuffs and what did exist would be sold at a higher cost. All the while we would be subsidizing such behavior.
