Is the "Farm Bill" mostly "pork"?

In "Farm bill unfair to the little guy," November 4, 2007; Fort Wayne The Journal Gazette, Sylvia A. Smith reported these excerpts-

For 30 years Sen. Richard Lugar has politely and cerebrally made the case that opening the spigot of taxpayer money and thoroughly watering the U.S. agriculture industry is misguided.
Politeness hasn’t worked. We still have a program that is neither fair nor logical, and Congress is about to obligate taxpayers for five more years of this multibillion-dollar idiocy.

It makes payments to the owners of farmland – not necessarily the farmers – which means rich city dwellers and Purdue University collect hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It encourages giant corporate farms that do nothing to keep alive the romance of the family farm and rural-town values (whatever they are). In fact, rural America is worse off now – in income and population size – than at any time in U.S. history, except maybe during the Depression.

In short, it is a pathetic excuse for national policy. If we want to make sure U.S. agriculture never goes the way of, say, the auto industry, why not keep all farmers afloat?

Lugar has been asking these sorts of questions for years and has been brushed aside.
