Template:USGOVI was surprised that milk jumped from $2.50 to $4.00, locally.

I learned that the U.S. Department of Agriculture sets the minimum price of milk.

K-EYE: Milk Prices Could Hit Record Highs helped me to understand how this works.

APHIS

According to their homepage APHIS is still with in USDA. No mention of DHS. This is why I reverted last change. Is this incorrect? ike9898 17:57, Jun 4, 2004 (UTC)

POV-Section

I added the tag to the "History" section because of the description of the Great Depression, i.e. "this department was wonderful and did so much great stuff," which reads like an advertisement for food bureaucracies. Paul 02:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think it's less a question of netrality than of poor style. I'd say fix 'er up if you know what you're talking about
This article in general is not neutral at all. It reads like what you would find on the USDA's website and not like what you would find in an encyclopedia.

Not very neutral.

The USDA's National Animal Identification System... that section needs to be looked at.

The accusation on discrimination of African Americans is incendiary and needs a citation to be more credible.

Am I (or my computer) crazy?

I've searched and searched the edit article box, but I can't figure out where the gigantic (I'd estimate 10-50,000px) stop hand.svg image is coming from at the bottom of this article. Maybe it's not really there, but I can see it. Maybe I should take a screenshot.... Xaxafrad 02:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yup, I should've taken a screenshot. I reverted to the previous version, and the hand was gone, so I re-added that contributor's edit manually. It doesn't show up in the history, either. Some kind of weird wiki error, I guess. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xaxafrad (talkcontribs) 02:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC).Reply

Rural Development

I tried to ad a little bit of information about Rural Development, however I am not all that familiar with the organization. Most of what I put up was taken from their web site "about us" section. Any updates would be helpful. Thetippys 18:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

place coordinates

adding a link to "coordinates" of place using wikimapia so people can know where it is. Any other links to other similar sites welcome. Logictheo 08:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
