U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin added that it's likely this could be nation's first trillion-dollar farm bill."When you consider the size of agriculture production across the United States, it's a modest investment in terms of our return, return on the quality and safety of the food that we consume, but also on all of the different elements of farming that are important to the economy," he said.
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
