    You must look up goals of Project 2025 as it relates to the farm bill and US Agriculture. The Amish have been duped, the conservative Midwest farmers have been duped. It’s an evil plan. They more than likely will not re-authorize the farm bill until after he has been a sworn in and then they can advance Project 2025 in full. WTF are farmers so good at voting against themselves.

    My concerns about the Farm Bill would be if we continue granting subsides to BigAg at the expense of loacal farmers. My hope is that we incentivise LOCAL PRODUCERS and dont end SNAP, school lunches and Double Up Food Bucks..Many people are suffering and I hope we can give them support in these tough economic times.

    Been going to freehold raceway since the before the fire happened I live on Long Island and took the drive there at least once a year. Wasn't always the greatest stick in the world but I lived the atmosphere of the raceway. It now reminds me of the great Roosevelt raceway. That too closed down prematurely. Their ownership team let that track crumble to make money selling the land Sadly I believe freehold raceway ownership has done the same thing Shane on them
