Number of farms in the U.S. — about 2.1 million.
Cost of the 2008 farm bill — $300 billion over five years.
Thatâs nearly $150,000 per farm, at a time of high food prices.

If you are wondering why the high prices of food, I would point you to the price of gas/diesel. The food has to get to the grocery store and someone has to pay for the transport. If you want to pay lower prices, go to a farmers market & cut out the transport middle man.
