John Stephen discussing food pricesJohn Stephen discussing food prices

LONDONDERRY- Standing outside a Market Basket supermarket congressional candidate John Stephen laid out his plan to deal with rising food prices.

"Congress must act now to stop driving-up food prices, which are creating serious economic issues for many families of America," Stephen (R-Manchester) said. "Congress can act now. The farm bill which just passed Congress takes us exactly in the wrong direction. It continues farm subsidies, it continues price targets and it encourages farmers to grow on bad lands."

Stephen's plan would eliminate ethanol mandates and subsidies, eliminate farm subsidies, eliminate target prices for crops, stop paying farmers for using bad land and use federal prisoners to grow crops on prison land that can be donated to low-income senior nutrition programs.
