Blogging on bureaucracy, organizations, USDA, agriculture programs, American history, and other interests. Often contrarian, usually optimistic, sometimes didactic.
It's always nice to have company in one's problems. The NY Times reports here that EU agricultural payments often go to non-farmers and rich landowners. Even the Queen of England, who used to get payments from us as well, until the 1985 farm bill.
I retired from USDA in 1997 after 28 years in ASCS/FSA (the agency that writes checks to farmers). Now indulging myself on the taxpayer's dollar. My ancestry is strong on preaching and teaching, my views tend to ambivalence, my temperament is often contrarian.
