Nebraska Farmer
Source-published biographyI endured the USDA farm program for 25 years as a farmer. I have been thinking about it anew for the last few years and have come to realize that it was always to ensure the lowest possible prices for my production. The farm program turned away from the concept of a fair price for our production shortly after 1950 and has moved steadily for 75 years toward an ever cheaper price (supported only by subsidies). The subsidies have fallen aside and now no longer support the income of farmers, giving the current disaster on the farm.

Agriculture and rural policy
Candidate positionI propose that we change to a concept of parity for farm prices. The USDA calculates the parity (fair) price for farm commodities and updates them every month. The current market price of corn, for example, has fallen so far behind parity that it stands at only 24% of the parity price as of October, 2025.

Public record
Public-record research limitation
Public-record research limitation
This does not mean the candidate has no prior public service or record. A record attaches only after authoritative office history and a stable provider identity are established; names, titles, attendance, sponsorship, and inferred responsibility are insufficient.
Campaign finance
Official filings may be amended after publication.
Current campaign-finance summary unavailable
No federal total attaches without one exact FEC identity and compatible current report. Missing values are not zero.
Research boundary
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Member-level public record
Not publishedReason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. This does not establish that the candidate has never held public office.
