"what separates claims that the farm bill is bad from blatant fear-mongering"

My personal thought is lack of education, lack of raising awareness.

Farming and selling produce directly at a physical market is straight forward.

Commodity trading, futures, buyer-seller agents are all complex for poor subsistence farmers with a few acres of land each.
