[QUOTE="GMN, post: 243232, member: 2382"] I was the one who refferred to it as my neighbors do to, farmers welfare. Would we rather be getting paid, at least a minimum of $15 a hundred, yes we would, do you think we like going to our local fsa office, reporting our pounds per month and getting our lil supplement, [b]No we don't[/b], but we do it, because it is better than nothing. $10 a hundred is ridiculus, pay from 40 years ago, with an economy where the cost of living has risen dramatically just in the last year, with fuel, diesel for our tractors, trucks, hauling, groceries in the store, medical insurance, at a all time high. The supplement by no means makes up for the money we lose every month, but we will take it, because as farmers we have learned this is how we survive. Farming isn't all about making money, I like it because I'm my own [b]BOSS, I make decisions some good, some not so good, its on me, it lets me be home with my kids, and have the country lifestyle I treasure so much. In times of land being sold to developers, and dairy farmers going out of business on a daily basis, I wouldn't trade my lil farm for anything. I know there are other farmers out there just like me, struggling to survive, and I hope we all do, because it would be very sad if all family farms were replaced with 1 acre lots, and fancy houses.
