SORGHUM - Food For Peace


SORGHUM - Food For Peace

US Agricultural Surpluses used to Fight World Hunger, Expand International Trade and Advance Foreign Diplomacy. No More.

If the Gov't doesn't buy the surplus sorghum to use as Food Aid, farmers will find themselves stuck with last years harvest heading into this years growing season.

As of 1 Dec 24 USDA says 210 million bushels of sorghum are held at mills, elevators, warehouses and terminals around the country.

Per Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas $560 million dollars worth of food commodities is sitting in ports awaiting to be moved to places where people are starving. No people or equipment available to move it. That was USAIDs job.

Surely to God Almighty there is a question or two here for "journalists" to pursue at a press conference. This disaster brought to you by the Republican Party, comprised of invertebrates pretending to be Patriotic and Responsible and Caring, led by heartless lying bastards.

Meanwhile farmers count their losses.
