"Washington lobbyists are working in Congress to block the rural reforms you (small farms) need," Obama said. "Rather than investing in rural opportunity, our government is handing out subsidies (money) to corporate mega-farms. Over the past decade, our government has handed out $1.3 billion in federal farm money to people who aren't even farmers. We've even got farm money going to Fortune 500 companies."

Special interest groups often have impact on government policies. Why might small rural farmers wish to band together to create an interest group?

A. To have a better shot at receiving the farm subsidies
B. To compete with each other for funding
C. In order to reduce the amount of government funds provided to farmers
D. In order to put large companies out of business

My answer is: A.

I agree.

Thank you.

The correct answer is A- To have a better shot at receiving the farm subsidies

:)

yep a is correct

Your answer, A, is correct. Small rural farmers might wish to band together to create an interest group in order to have a better shot at receiving farm subsidies. This is because, as mentioned in the statement, government funds are often distributed to large corporate farms rather than small farms. By forming an interest group, small farmers can collectively advocate for their needs and push for policies that prioritize their interests, including securing more government funds and subsidies.
