The way I understand the moral to this story is the Cattle Rancher is having to pay more to maintain his crop because of the drought So he is raiseing prices and the loss is going to be pushed on down to the consumer. Yet they still feel that the government should cut them a check too and at least one poster feels that other government programs should suffer to oblige this one. Everybody wants a check.

Gov. Beebe cant give any more than that because it will take away from his beloved medicaid.We have a huge surplus and the only thing he can think of is giving it to is the medicaid program.Let the working man suffer to give to the ones who wont work,two more years and he's gone.

2 million? Really? Like someone recently posted about another subject - a teaspoon out of a lake. $1,000 for 400 head? Won't last very long, and nowhere near enough. A grand's worth of hay and grain won't last long at all for that amount of cattle. AR state government; our ranchers need more help than that!
