Water temperatures feeding off the gulf stream at 85 or 86 but it is beginning to make its move more towards Daytona Beach up towards jacksonville but now right about over Cape Canaveral and cocoa beach you can see the bands coming in so still very windy conditions beginning to accelerate and lift north ward and still the eye is well enough off shore but close enough to get storm surge out of that, high tide, heavy rain as well.

The hearing of subcommittee on general farm commodities and Risk Management entitled reviewing the state of the farm economy will come to order. Good morning and thank you for joining us, as we look into this critical aspect of our economy. Every one of us seated up here has heard from farmers in our districts about the bad farm economy. Commodity prices are low, input costs are rising and financial pressure is mounting on farmers across this country. While we hear so much about the booming state of the overall economy, our rural and farm economy continues to struggle. You cannot have a successful National Economy when such a vital component hurts the way our farmers are currently. The numbers paint a rough picture. Usda forecasts net farming level for 2019 to be only 77 of the annual average for 2000 through 2017. Its down 50 from 2013 alone. Inflationadjusted farm debt is the highest it has been since 1980 and the debt to asset ratio for farmers is rising steadily. This hearing offer

It seems crazy but that is what were doing when we are wasting 40 of our food. Were leaving entire fields unharvesting and eliminating produce fo
Not to have to file, or pay federal income tax. But one of the things ive not really heard anybody address, we talked about in here the need for the minimum wage to be raised. And when there was an article written recently that indicated for an individual who just accepts the available federal welfare payments, they may be looking at 1,700 a month take home whereas under the current minimum wage its about 1,200 takehome. Well, the incentive there is obviously not to work. But i know my friends at heritage have encouraged as a solution lowering the minimum wage. Obviously, that would even increase the disparity between what you take home if you dont work and what you take home if you do work. If you lowered the minimum wage. So thats obviously not going to fix the problem there. But if the minimum wage is raised in puerto rico, since as my friend from californias indicated they have a higher minimum wage, then people would be tempted to go from puerto rico to california to get those hig
