[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 636984, member: 4362"] I agree with you. I'd prefer that they shut down ALL these programs. Paying someone not to farm is BS. CRP is BS. Paying someone through EQUIP to put a water trough on their property is BS. I mean if you can't afford a dang water trough step aside and let someone that can use the land. What I'm saying here is that while the board said cotton was $1 /lb, you couldn't sell it for this. So what's the deal? I don't understand it but seems to me that if these specualtors are running the price up they should have to play with more than paper. Some producers I know got paid higher prices under contract but I know several who had contracts that were not honored. If you or I did not honor our contract what do you think would happen to us? I think the whole thing is a mess and the mess is caused by to much intervention but I'd rather see a farmer get money than a leach. [/QUOTE]
