[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 141361, member: 2653"] Brandonm2, How about a 180 degree turn??? I mis-read your statement. I actually agree with you about cutting programs that pay people not to produce. I just went to the website you linked on your very first post and made a startling discovery. I actually "clicked" on several farmers that I knew, and then on the details of their payments. The largest recipient of subsidies in our parish has received well over 1 million dollars from 1995 to 2004. What got me is not the fact that he drives in a huge F250 new diesel, or any of his other lifesyle choices, but that he received $32 for SUNFLOWER SUBSIDIES. What in the world would someone apply for a $32 SUNFLOWER SUBSIDY for. What even bothers me more is that he uses these "subsidies" to bait doves for him to hunt. (Don't get me wrong, I'm a hunter also) But Jesus, I think that he could afford to go and buy $32 worth of sunflower seed to plant. I would be embarrassed to have that beside my name. I'm tempted to send him $32 and ask him to plant it next year on me. He works hard, there's no doubt, but I do too. I actually have two jobs if you include the cattle that take more of my time than my real job. So there's the 180. Whew. [/QUOTE]
