[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 996998, member: 4362"] If you really want to set your blood boiling you should look at the crop insurance. Farm on east side of the road only made 600 lbs of peanuts but the farm on the west side of the road made 3 tons to the acre. Good thing Farmer Brown had insured the crop on the east side cause the drought was really bad there. Don't get me wrong. I am in favor of the crop support in the event the bottom falls out due to speculators or something like that but to be subsidized when making bumper crops is BS. And this crop insurance can be fixed easily by using a crop average on all their lands and all their sales. If their production is average or better on the whole then no payment is allowed on any particular field when the whole meets the average. This only makes sense to me because this is the intent of the insurance. But like the head guy from the Federal Crop Insurance said, "Our job is not to police the farmer but to make payments for low yields." [/QUOTE]
