چکیده
busy for most of the twentieth century. Policy after policy has been tried, rejected, then tried again in an attempt to solve the farm income problem. Ever since the New Deal, we have had price supports for many farm products. Since the Kennedy years, we have added direct payments to the relatively low price supports. All the while, supply control has been a part of most farm bills. None of this has provided a lasting solution to the problem of low farm income. Some see the failure of public policy as evidence that we should get the government out of agriculture and embrace free market philosophies. Global competitiveness, level playing fields, farmer freedom, and increased efficiency became battle cries in the 1996 farm bill debate. Within a few years, government payments to farmers were at record high levels. Getting the government out of agriculture has proven to be more expensive than keeping it in agriculture. Policy experts around the country are now busily crafting ways to go back to the future. Government or free markets, free markets or government? The dismal history of this debate does little to dampen enthusiasm for it. In spite of their polar differences, these two approaches have something important in common: they assume that If stagnant farm profits are due in part to the economic power of agribusiness, collective bargaining may get agriculture a better seat — and a bigger serving — at the table.

The presence of the anisakid nematode Hysterothylacium gadi aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802) is reported for the first time in cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) as a new host in freshwater farms from Turkey. This marine parasitic nematode is thought to complete the life cycle in fresh water and rainbow trout could act as the definitive host for this parasite under fresh water c...
