. most grain farmers do want as much gravy as we can make the government dish out?




In my opinion I think this is the answer… you can say you don’t want the handouts or you have to take them because your neighbor does and can’t be at a disadvantage. That’s all fine and dandy but actions speak louder than words.

Quit sticking your hand out for the payments and tell the government no thank you I’ll figure it out for myself. In my opinion nothing is gonna change until you quit taking the payments.. and that’s just what it is.


Sure the payments are peanuts compared to the overall budget to raise that crop but we run margins..we trade for cents… it all adds up and I just don’t think most people are willing to give up the gravy

I could be wrong but just basing it off what I read and hear.
