[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 533309, member: 4362"] jbar, what you are referring to is insurance farming. Subsidies have nothing to do with this. Subsidies only kick in to effect when the price falls below a certain bench mark and you got to produce to come out. Insurance farming is when you scatter seed on the ground and don't try to make a crop and the tax payer has to pay you for your disaster through the federal crop insurance. This problem could easily be solved if someone was only allowed to claim insurance once every five years or so and be required to have indepenent verification of the disaster. Having a bumper crop on one side of the road and a disaster on the other really doesn't make much sense. Enforcement of the law and prison terms would also make a good statement. But again, if we are not going to guard our borders what's the point in insuring that tax dollars are spent wisely. [/QUOTE]
