Our moron President wants to eliminate farm subsidies on "Big Farms" grossing 500,000................give me a break. Gross sales of $500,000 @ year is a small family farm today! You can gross over $100,000 with 100 acres of corn and 100 acres of soybeasn! Is a 200 acres farm a "Big Farm"? This shows you how out of touch the idiot we have in the White House and the Liberal Congress is out of touch with modern agriculture in the US. So, if these idiots in DC get their way on this one...we will see what few family farms we have left go under. It appears we want to import all our food since it is working so well with oil! :roll:
Subsidies provided the food animal industry cheap feed for years, unfortunately those that fed livestock did not learn to buy them at a price they could return a profit. Take these farm programs away and we will have a reduced supply of feed grains and $5.00 Corn to feed 60 cent feeders to fat cattle prices of 50 cents. That is what will result. I have never had so many inquiries from folks that have grass to lease......that should tell you something. Are we approaching the day when we do not need to graze every acres available and plant every acre that can grow corn, beans, and wheat? What is wrong with $1.25 feeders....90cent + fars, and $5.00 corn????
