If you really want to revitalize agriculture in America, legalize hemp farming. That single action would pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the hands of farmers and turn the USA into a huge producer of hemp seeds, hemp oils, hemp fibers and other valuable hemp products.
Even though Obama promised to move on this issue during his campaign, he has done absolutely nothing to push for legalizing hemp farming in America. The farmers be damned! No President can credibly claim to support American agriculture if they aren't pushing for the total legalization of hemp farming. (It's legal in Canada. So why do we import all those hemp products from Canada when we could be growing them in the United States?)
On this issue -- just as with ending wars, closing down Gitmo, pushing for medical marijuana legalization and just about everything else the political left has been pushing for -- Obama has been a disappointing failure.
