Don't make the massive error of throwing out the research and
social programs "baby" with the commodity programs "bathwater".

So no, you don't want to see it vetoed.
There's lots of pressure to reduce the commodity programs, 
there always is.  Your view is well represented, not to worry.

Any veto will be overridden.  The Farm Bill is simply too 
important to allow a lame-duck administration to play 
politics with any aspect of the bill.

Trust the process.  In general, it works.  If nothing else,
it works better than any other system of decision-making
yet created by man.
