[QUOTE="polledbull, post: 141355, member: 574"] I think most of you are forgetting that the goverment understands that the farmer must remain in business, and that the price of commidities ( corn,wheat and beans ) must remain low for the other sectors that reley on them for thier industry.Thus this is part of the reason for the subsidy. Imagine $4.50 corn , $9.00 beans and $4.50 wheat . That would bankrupt almost every other industry that depended on it. Rather than help every other industry that is using these commidities because they are priced to high , they choose to help the farmer who produces it and ensure that the grain remains low enough that all other industries can remain in business. Only .05% of the population are farming the land . It is of the upmost importance that they are able to remain in business and the price of grain and other commidities remain at a low price as to not offset the whole scale of the agriculture industry.Also the cost of equipment per dollar of gross income is alot higher in the grain producing end of agriculture than any other business . For example it takes a $250,000 combine to harvest grain, but it sets parked under a shed 10 months of the year. Name me any other business that has to invest in capital debt for equipment like that , that can only get 2 months per year use from it. There isnt one. So dont look at it as a hand out , or freeloders taking advantage of the goverment , Its there for a reason.I dont think any of us want to get more dependent on imports than we already are , espically for food and grain.
