[QUOTE="Bobg, post: 216049, member: 2132"] There's been a few articles out in the last year that say around 65% of the "farmers" don't receive or take any subsidies. Most of these are close to large population bases and grow a diversity of crops. They are able to charge more for their produce, due to it being locally grown. On my Mom's farm she gets very little in subsidy payments, only around $800/year, due to lack of base. I have a neighbor that is in a corp with his brother and I don't know how many family members and they get close to $300K a year. I have a neighbor that raises Highland cattle and sell it for $4.00 hanging weight plus the $.40 cut and wrap fee. I think you will start seeing more small farms in large population areas forego participation in farm programs and start growing more diversity produce and still do better. Bobg [/QUOTE]
