Peanuts here in Georgia, cranberries in NJ, limitations of the size of oranges in California, the amount of butter fat in milk, the list goes on. Most of these quotas were set up in the thirties to keep the farmers afloat. In most states there are still enough farmers that politicians don't want that cow to get gored or, if you piss off enough dedicated voters then you might have to look for a new job. :() Another way of looking at this is, if you can keep the farmers on the farm, then you can slow down urban sprawl. :) Don dorysrus@mindspring.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+dorysrus=mindspring.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Sam Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 7:08 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] a new one Robert Clark wrote: > Not LUG related but tied to smoking......
