[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 853263, member: 14624"] These kind of posts sadden me a bit... I am a rancher and not a farmer--- I have never darkened the door of the ASCS/NRCS office to wait in line for government handouts--- thats the farmers bread and butter-- not the Rancher. Ranching isn't a game for the weak at heart and spirit-- if it is too hard for you --do the rest of us a favor and quit and go get a job in town ad live to complain about something else another day. (outlined in bold below) When an individual and a group of individuals start thinking that the Govt. should be helping them, with their chosen livelihood, this is surely the beginning of the end. Since the beginning, ranchers have been an independent lot--and they always will be. I for one don't need or want your simple sympathy, don't care for the talk of govt. aid, dont care about the media or what they do or don't think about. This is my life and I will make it on my own -- like my father before me and his father and his father and his father........... Through Texas independence, Statehood, The Comanchee Years, The Apache Years, The War Between the States, Reconstruction, The Oil Boom, WWI, The Depression, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1, Iraq 2, and Afghanistan. This drought isn't the toughest thing that has hit the homefront-- is it? NO..... JS [/QUOTE]
